After the historic victory of his side, Gill entered the press conference with a broad smile, clearly enjoying the moment. Addressing the room, he took a playful job in the BBC’s Wilson, who had referred to India’s record of defeat in Edgbaston before the match.
“I can’t see my favorite journalist. Where is he? I wanted to see him,” Gill said.
The Indian Test captain, Gill, followed it with a sharp statement about why the previous figures did not disturb this Indian side:
“I also said before the Test match that I really do not believe in history and data. In the last 56 years, we have played nine matches, separate teams have come here. I believe that we are the best teams coming to England here, and we have the ability to defeat them, if we will continue to take the right decisions and fight, I think it is to miss a series.” Gill concluded.
Prior to the match, Wilson had pointed to India’s historically poor record in Edgbaston, where he never won the exam. Instead of bristle on statistics, Gill took it into stride and used it as a silent inspiration. After scripting one of the most prominent batting performances by an Indian abroad, his return to the media room was vocal as his cover drive.

“What the Captain said, very sensibly, was that if you look back even in the 1960s, 1970s, the 1980s, then let’s, let’s have a different experience for the Indian team when they used to travel abroad. There was no hope of winning. Now, they expect to win. No.
Asked if he would repeat such remarks before the Lord’s examination, Wilson said:
“I would say anything to inspire him, maybe, who knows. I think he is a real gentleman. He answers every question with great dignity. We like to talk about the figures, we were not? It was fun,”
