They (Akash Deep and Siraj) were fantastic – Shubman Gill

“Yes, of course. I think after the previous game we have spoke with all the things we had talked about. I think, the way we came back, the way we came back. The way we came back with our bowling and fielding after the first game.
“On this kind of wicket, we knew that if we get 400-500 runs, it would be enough to put them under pressure. Every sports will not be like a headingley. You will not leave many opportunities every day.”
Shubman Gill, especially, was influenced by the motion of Mohammad Siraj and the depth of the sky. Talking about Star Pacors, he said:
“They (Akash Deep and Siraj) were fantastic. The way we managed to get through their top order were fantastic. I think Prasad Krishna was also excellent. He did not get that much wickets, but he really bowled well.
