Journalist Reacts to Gill’s Edgbaston Dig: “I Won’t Say Anything That Motivates Him”

Sports News: After the historic win at Edgbaston, skipper Shubman Gill was all set to troll the journalist who had asked him if India was capable of winning the second test. In the pre-match press meet ahead of the third test, Gill was reminded of the question that was previously asked to him by a journalist. "I can't see my favorite journalist. Where is he? I wanted to see him," India's skipper said. India outplayed England by a huge margin of 336 runs in the Edgbaston test. It was a historic win in many ways for the visitors and has helped them to level the series.

Who is this journalist?

Gill's favorite journalist, Joe Wilson, has finally reacted to the skipper's question in the pre-match conference. Wilson said, "I won't say anything that motivates him," while talking to Revzsportz. When asked if he is going to change his question ahead of the Lord's test, the journalist replied, "I think he's a real gentleman. He answers every question with dignity and intelligence. He's leading his team pretty well in all departments, especially in the media."

Impressed by Gill's maturity, says Wilson

The journalist further said that he is quite impressed by the skipper's maturity and the manner in which he carries himself on and off the field. "What the captain said was very sensible. If you look back at the 1970s and even the 1980s, there was a very different feel about the Indian Test team here. When they would come aboard, they would never really have the expectation to win. Now they do have that. Maybe that was the statistics playing around with him, or maybe that was a motivation because we've almost lost count of the records that Shubman himself broke," said Joe Wilson.

England's concern about Gill

The journalist also said that England is thinking hard about how to get the Indian skipper out. Since he is smashing record after record, the hosts are a bit concerned. Wilson said, "How to get Shubman out is now the number one question for the England coaches."

The much-awaited third test will start on Thursday, 10th July, with both teams looking to go ahead in the series. It will be interesting to see how the young Indian skipper manages his troops. The match will be played at the iconic Lord's.
