IND vs ENG: Shubman Gill Shuts Down Reporter with One Line After Edgbaston Win
Shubman Gill jokes about pre-match question at press conference after India’s first-ever Test win at Edgbaston.
India crushed England by 336 runs at Edgbaston to level the five-match Test series 1-1. It was a big moment in Indian cricket, and Shubman Gill was right at the centre of it all.
Gill led from the front with scores of 269 and 161, making a total of 430 runs in the match. His efforts earned him the Player of the Match award and praise from all corners.
But even after such a dominant win, the Indian captain had one more message to deliver, and it came with a smile.
Shubman Gill walked into the post-match press conference with a wide grin. He looked around the room and asked:
“I can’t see my favourite journalist?! Where is he? I was hoping to see the one who asked about India’s record at Edgbaston.”
It was a playful but clear response to a question asked before the match. One reporter had reminded Gill that India had never won a Test at Edgbaston.
Back then, Gill had said this Indian team is the best to have toured England. Four days later, he had backed it up in the best way possible.
India’s win was not only their first at Edgbaston, but also their biggest away victory in terms of runs. This was Gill’s first win as India’s Test captain, and he made it count.
