Star Youngster Shubman Gill Admits After Shocking Loss To Bangladesh
The star opener of team India, Shubman Gill, who slammed a century in their Asia Cup Super Four match, said that if he had played his innings normally, then India would have won the match against Bangladesh. Gill's 121 off 133 balls was exceptional. But it was not enough to help India chase the target of 265 runs at the loss of eight wickets set by Bangladesh. The thunderous knock of 121 runs from Gill and Axar Patel's fighting 42 went in vain as Bangladesh fought back to end their Asia Cup 2023 campaign on a high by beating finalists India in their Asia Cup Super Four 2023 clash here at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Friday.
Gill said in the post-match conference that, "When I got out, actually... something you miscalculated, and I think this was a miscalculation from my side. If I had batted a bit more normally and not that aggressively, I think we should have been able to get over the line. But these are the lessons for us. Sometimes you misunderstand the situation, and I did the same. I have to learn from this. This wasn't final for us, and we have to learn from this."
