‘As long as we keep winning, toss doesn’t matter’- Gill:Jadeja says- ‘Working hard on batting’; West Indies captain Chase admits ‘Batting is the main problem’

After winning the Ahmedabad Test against West Indies, captain Shubman Gill said, “This was a perfect game for us.” India won the first Test by an innings and 140 runs, thanks to the all-round performance of Team India’s vice-captain Ravindra Jadeja. With this win, India took a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. The second Test is scheduled to be played from October 10 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Read further to know what everyone said after the match Very happy with the win – Gill After the match, Gill said, “I have no regrets about losing 6 consecutive tosses. As long as we keep winning matches, it doesn’t matter to us. I am very happy with this win. I think this was an ideal game for us. We fielded really well in both innings. I have no complaints with anyone.” He further said, I think it was a pretty good wicket for batting. Both of us (Gill and Jaiswal) got a good start but we couldn’t play a big innings. Playing in India is a different kind of fun. You know, there will always be someone ready to get the job done for the team. The team is young and they came out with a fantastic performance. I am working hard on my batting – Jadeja Player of the Match Ravindra Jadeja said, I am working hard on my batting. We had a two-month break, there was no Test or ODI cricket, so I was working on my fitness. I went to Bengaluru to work on my batting. A few years ago, I was batting at number 9, 8, but now my number is 6, so I can prepare myself and accelerate my innings. He further said, as a spinner you get more turn and bounce on red soil pitches so I was happy when we found out that this pitch is beneficial for both batting and bowling. We have to bat better – Chase West Indies captain Roston Chase said, obviously when you win the toss and bat and get out for 162, it’s hard to come back from that. This is not the kind of performance we were expecting. We need to bat better. There was some moisture in the pitch on the first day, but we had to play beyond that. Regarding the delay in taking the second new ball, I didn’t think the timing was wrong. I think when we took it, we didn’t let the batsmen play enough. We needed to test them more. Batting is the main problem. The batsmen needed to build partnerships, and we didn’t even get a fifty-run partnership, and in cricket, you need partnerships, whether you are batting or bowling.
