IND vs WI: Who Said What

Shubman Gill | India Captain

It's a perfect game for us, so very happy with the win. Honestly, I think this was a perfect game for us. Three centurions in the game, and I think we fielded really well in both innings, we don't really have any complaints. Yeah, definitely, and whenever you get a start, I think it was a pretty good wicket to bat on. We both (Jaiswal and himself) got starts but couldn't convert, there were plenty of other batsmen who converted, so happy for them. When you've got quality spinners like them, it's difficult to be able to rotate, but it's good to have an option of too many, rather than not having that many options.

(What has he learned as a captain) So many things, you know. It's hard to pin down to one or two things that I learned, but I think over a period of two years, how we bonded as a team, and how we got ourselves out from tough situations and difficult situations, that was really pleasing for me to see, and we are still a learning side, and I think as long as we keep learning from experiences that we have, I think we're going to be on the positive side of the match.

Ravindra Jadeja | Player of the Match

"I have been working hard on batting. I went to Bengaluru, working on fitness and batting. We had a two-month off and I was working on fitness and went to the Centre of Excellence. I was batting lower a few years ago, but now I am batting at no. 6, now I can pace my innings. I don't need to play a rash shot, have time to prepare my innings. I can go out and take my time now, no need to play rash shots. Playing on red soil is fun as you get more turn and bounce. When I learned we would play on Red Soil, I was happy. "

"I would like to thank coach, captain and selectors (for Vice-Captaincy) being a vice-captain, you are always there. Whenever team requires regarding anything, I am always there. Kuldeep and Washington also have played many games, and no need to give unnecessary suggestions. Everybody is working hard and good to see that. "
