Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh) [India], February 5 : Following a century that marked a return to form, star India batter Shubman Gill expressed happiness at breaking free from his slump to score a big knock in front of his father and revealed his advice to him.
Gill roared back into form with his third Test century, breaking free from a 12-inning long streak of poor scores and wasted starts in the longer format during the third day of the second Test against England at Visakhapatnam.
In a video posted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Gill expressed that it was pleasing to score big runs finally, in front of his father who was watching his innings from the stands. He also revealed that his father told him to back his instincts.
“It is really satisfying and pleasing. He is someone who has always supported me and seen my journey. It was great to score runs in front of him. My father told me to back my instincts and play the way I am playing,” said Gill.
