Shubman Gill reacted to Gautam Gambhir’s dispute with pitch curator
Captain of india Shubman Gill Now this matter has been weighed, this episode is described as ‘absolutely unnecessary’. Speaking on the eve of the test, Gill expressed surprise over the objection of the curator, stressing that such restrictions were not imposed in any of the previous places in the series.
“What happened yesterday, I felt that we are just unnecessary. We are here for about two months, and a coach has every right to closely inspect the wicket. Any of other places – Hadingley, Edgbaston, Lords, or Old Trafford – stopped us from doing so. Gill said in the pre-match presser.
Gill further rejected the suggestion that the victory situation for India could be severely proud to respond to India. “Not necessary. As long as you are in rubber spikes or barefoot, it is normal for captains and coaches to closely check the wicket. This is part of our preparation, and nothing is uncommon. ,

Despite being 2–1 in the series, Gill’s first campaign as captain in foreign conditions is no less than extraordinary. The 25-year-old has emerged as the leading run-scorer of the series, scoring 722 runs in just four tests at an average of 90.25, including four centuries.
Some would have predicted such dominance from Gill, who have not only anchored India’s batting, but have also impressed with their calm leadership under pressure. The upcoming test at the Oval gives Gill the opportunity to level the series, a result that will be seen as a captain in his first term as a notable achievement.
