IND vs Eng Odie Series: Shubman Gill, vice -captain of the Indian ODI team, defended the team’s performance over the defeat in the Test series in Australia, saying that a bad series does not define the team and criticism of a team after such a poor performance after long gaps. It is unfair to do.
India suffered a 1-3 defeat in a five-match series in Australia. This result of the team ended a decade-old dominance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Prominent players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Lokesh Rahul, Rishabh Pant and Gill themselves are now ready to return to the team for a three -match ODI series against England before going to Dubai for the ICC Champions Trophy. Gill told reporters here, “A series does not define the rhythm of the entire team. There are many players who have performed well in many series and tournaments in the past.
He said, “There is no doubt that we failed to play according to our expectations in Australia. However, we also played some good cricket. The team did not get luck on the last day of that tour because (Jaspreet) Bumrah was injured. If we had won the match, the series would have been left on par and we would keep the trophy with us. In such a situation, such things are not happening right now.
This right -handed opener said, “One match one day does not define anyone.” We have won there twice (Australia). We have won a World Cup in the recent past and have reached the final of another World Cup. We want to keep such a result in mind.
Before the disappointing defeat in Australia, the Indian team was defeated by New Zealand 3–0 in the domestic series. This was the first time a team cleaned India 3–0 at its home ground.
