‘I Just Wanted To Enjoy My Batting Again’: Shubman Gill Reflects On Record-breaking Double Ton At Edgbaston
Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi: After a marathon knock that etched his name in the history books, Shubman Gill spoke about the technical tweaks and mental reset that fueled his magnificent 269 against England at Edgbaston.
The 25-year-old India skipper’s career-best Test score not only powered his side to a towering 587 — their highest total in England in 18 years — but also helped reduce the hosts to 77 for 3 by stumps on Day 2.
Reflecting on his innings, Gill revealed how rediscovering the joy of batting had been crucial in turning around his red-ball fortunes. “Sometimes, when you aren’t scoring runs fluently, you stop enjoying your batting. You focus too much on the need to score runs. I felt I had lost that in my batting. I was so focused that I wasn’t enjoying my batting as much,” he said after day 2 play.
