During the match presentation, he told that he got momentum after hitting three sixes. It was a good wicket to bat on as well. Last season was also good. It was probably the best innings I have ever played in IPL.
Shubman Gill said,
“For me it is ball to ball, over to over. The over in which I hit three sixes gave me the momentum to move forward. That’s when I realized that this could be my day. It was a good wicket to bat on as well. Not a well thought out decision, you keep inventing as a batsman but for me belief is more important.
he adds,
“I am also coming off a good international season. Last season was also good. When I start well, I believe I can score well. From the last West Indies tour, I think I have changed a gear, I was injured before the last IPL but I am working on my game. I have worked on a few areas and made technical changes before the New Zealand series after the T20 World Cup. Expectations are something that follows you out of bounds but once you step on the field it is all about trying how to contribute for the team. I think it was probably the best innings I have ever played in IPL.
Please tell that in this match, Shubman Gill thrashed the Mumbai bowlers fiercely. He scored a stormy century in the match. Gill played a strong inning of 129 runs in 60 balls with the help of 7 fours and 10 sixes.
