Champions Trophy: Whoever Rotates The Strike Well In Middle Overs Has Better Chance Of Winning, Says Gill
Champions Trophy Group: Ahead of their highly-anticipated Champions Trophy Group A clash against Pakistan, India vice-captain Shubman Gill believes that whichever team rotates the strike well in the middle overs has a better chance of winning Sunday’s clash at the Dubai International Stadium.
Gill hit an unbeaten 101, his second successive ODI century, as India chased down a tricky 229 against Bangladesh in Dubai with 21 balls to spare. What also aided India in their chase was Gill holding one end all the time, even as the pitch became sluggish in the middle overs due to no dew at the venue.
“In the last match, the dew didn't come that much. So definitely, when the dew doesn't come under lights, it is not easy to bat on slow wickets. It's not easy to rotate the strike. Whatever matches we play here, the key will be that whichever team rotates well in the middle overs – between the 11th to the 40th over, has a better chance of winning,” said Gill in the pre-match press conference.
