“I can’t speak about the conversations before I came, but we would be looking to play on wickets that offer something to both the batsmen and to the bowlers. But, having said that, any team that comes to India, the challenge is the spin and reverse swing. So keeping these challenges in mind, you’d be looking to play on wickets that offer [something] to the batsmen and the bowlers,” Gill said. There is reason for Gill and head coach Gautam Gambhir to be optimistic about why this plan could well become their theme going forward. There is also the extreme possibility of India playing all four all-rounders — a variety that Gambhir is a huge fan of — but, in that case Kuldeep Yadav could miss out.
