Following the victory against Sri Lanka in the first T20I, Shubman Gill heaped praise on his batting partner Yashasvi Jaiswal, saying that it is great batting with him. A brilliant bowling performance in the second half of the second innings guided India to victory over Sri Lanka by 43 runs in the first T20I of the three-match series at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Saturday.
“Not really (panicked). We spoke about having good communication and we knew we just needed one wicket (when SL were 140/1). It is great batting with him (Jaiswal) and we complement each other. Our style is different, our plan is simple – assess the conditions and then take on the bowlers. When you are opening the innings, see how the pitch is behaving and play accordingly (that’s the plan),” Gill said in the post-match presentation.
The opening partnership of Jaiswal and Gill has been quite successful for India in recent times and both the batsmen will be hoping to contribute even more in the future. India will be playing the second match of the T20I series later today at the same venue.
