Sourav Ganguly's Advice to Shubman Gill Ahead of England Test

In an interview, Sourav stated: I hope Shubman will tackle his lashes in the test. Because he attacks. In the UK, it's not just about going to the ball line and play. You have to keep an eye on the seams of the ball. You need to manage your swing. 

Challenges of Playing the New Ball 

The new ball behaves a little differently in English weather. "Beware of difficult situations," Sourav said. If that happens, Shubman will need to play a new ball. So he must learn how to play a new ball in England.  It's a little difficult to play a new ball in such weather.Two gates on 100 runs, four gates on 20 run these are two different situations. You need strong defenses. 

Shubman's Previous Performance

“Shubman did not achieve his run in the Grenz Gabascar Trophy in Australian soil.  Furthermore, this time Shubman is the captain. His performance can have an impact on the team. Perhaps Shubman, a former Indian captain, encouraged him to focus on preparing for the test. 

Beginning of a New WTC Cycle

He also believes that changes to India's test team will enhance the series' appeal. Sourav said: “Virat Kohli isn't there. Rohit Sharma is not there.... How much did you change in  such a short time? To some extent it seems  unbelievable. " It is worth nothing that the first Test for the two teams will begin on June 20th. This series will start the Indian team at the World Test Championship Cycle 2025-27.
