Washington left that decision with its all-round performance-providing significant contributions with both-to help India in Edgbaston’s first Test victory in Edgbaston and to help their biggest victory abroad.
Gill highlighted how a significant partnership between himself and Washington shifted the speed. “If there was no partnership, our leadership would have been around 70–80–90 runs, which is very different from 180.”The skipper also emphasized the importance of spinners such as Washington and Jadeja, when the Duke Ball softens after a 30-odd over, which provides limited assistance to pacers. “Sometimes spin gives you more control than fast bowling. This was our mindset.”In detail the in-game strategies, Gill accepted a calculation risk during England’s first innings. “When he was 83/5 years old, we went for small balls to try for that additional wicket and broke through it. We leaked some runs, but were far ahead in the game.”

I believe it is the best Indian team that is capable of winning here.”He also revealed that his major form – 585 runs in four innings – was a result of dedicated test preparation that began as an IPL wound. “I want to take maximum advantage of this purple patch,” he said.Now the focus is near Lord’s, Gill with optimistic: “We’ve gained momentum. If we keep fighting, it can be a series to remember.”
