🏏India vs England 3rd ODI 2025: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad 🏏 - Page 39

Rohit Sharma: Very very pleasing. We knew there will be challenges that we could face. I mean there is nothing I could havedone about that. Credit to the bowler and the bowler is there to get you out and you are there as a batter to challenge that. Just nicked the ball, second ball I was facing and couldn't have done anything about that. I don't see there was anything wrong we did this series. Obviously there are certain things we are looking at and I am not going to stand here and explain those.

Shubman Gill is the Player of the Match and the Series: Definitely. I was feeling good. I think this was one of the better knows. The pitch was a bit tricky at the start so it's satisfying. There was a bit for the fast bowlers. It was seaming, so the chat was to rotate strike and not lose wickets in powerplay, build on the momentum and take it from there. You are just reacting to what is coming to you without thinking too much.

It is our job as well to keep some consistency within the squad and the communication is clear. Obviously a champion team wants to get better every game and move forward from there. Very happy with the score.There is a bit of freedom in the squad to out there. The World Cup was a perfect example of that and we want to continue to do that. There will be times it will not fall in place but that's okay.

Fahad: "Only motivation left for Eng is that they are currently 7th placed in rankings while PAK won CT 17 being 8th ranked team then."

8.50pm Shubman Gill is the Player of the Match and the Series: "I was feeling good, this was one of my better knocks. The pitch was a bit tricky at the start, a bit for the fast bowlers so it's satisying. It was seaming, so the chat was to rotate the strike and not lose wickets in the powerplay, build on the momentum and take it from there. You are just reacting to what is coming to you, without thinking too much."

Rohit Sharma: Very very pleasing (with the way the series went). We knew there will be challenges that we could face. I mean there is nothing I could have done about that (the ball that got rid of him today). Credit to the bowler and the bowler is there to get you out and you are there as a batter to challenge that. Just nicked the ball, second ball I was facing and couldn't have done anything about that. I don't see there was anything wrong we did this series. Obviously there are certain things we are looking at (to improve) and I am not going to stand here and explain those. It is our job as well to keep some consistency within the squad and the communication is clear. Obviously any champion team wants to get better every game and move forward from there. Very happy with the score. There is a bit of freedom in the squad to go out there and play the way you want. The World Cup was a perfect example of that and we want to continue to do that. There will be times it will not fall in place but that's okay.
