Ahmedabad, Oct 1
Indian Test skipper Shubman Gill gave his take on Jasprit Bumrah’s inclusion in the playing XI for the two West Indies Tests starting Thursday, saying that the team will decide based on the duration of every match.
Some members of the Indian Test team, who were also part of the Asia Cup squad, hardly got a break between the two games. While it looked like the tight calendar will be an issue, Gill expressed confidence saying that he felt fresh and was ready to play.
“For a batsman, I don't think it's physical fatigue. It's more mental for a batsman. That's a little different for a bowler. As of now, I feel fresh and my body is ready. I am just looking at what I have to do this week and next week and that's how I will be taking my decisions.”
The first Test will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad starting Thursday, followed by the second game that will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi from October 10.
