IPL Press Meet: "The final is a bit of an advantage for us, but…" – Vijay Shankar Sharings!


Gujarat won the second qualifier against Mumbai in the IPL. Subman Gill scored a tremendous century on behalf of that team. By winning this match, Gujarat qualified to play in the final against Chennai. Vijay Shankar represented the Gujarat team in the press conference after the win against the Mumbai team. Here are his answers to reporters’ questions.

Subman Gill

How do you see Subman Gill playing? How does he prepare to play such games?

“He is very honest to cricket. He plays incredible innings. Every practice session he does what he wants to do in the game. Gill can hit big big sixes. He can also play a bit of a structured innings. He knows what kind of innings to play when. Gill is a extraordinary.”

Tell us a little about your captain Hardik Pandya. What will his attitude be like as a team leader?

“He is an aggressive yet cool captain who expects everyone in the team to enjoy their game. In a challenging series like the IPL, when both the captain and the coach put their faith in you, you can easily handle that tough environment!”

Hardik Pandya

How has this season been for you?

“This is my best season in IPL history. I was plagued with injuries. I recovered from them and got ready mentally and physically for the last 6 months. I kept looking for flaws in my game. It was a great experience working together.”

Changes in your team’s batting order keep happening…isn’t it taking its toll on the players?

“All the batsmen in our team are ready to come in and play in any order. I played at No. 3 in the match against Bangalore. In another match, I played at No. 6. Our idea is to play with responsibility wherever we come in. We will practice accordingly. For me, the new ball too. I will practice. I will also practice playing in the death overs. Such practice automatically gives good results in the game.”

Will the Gujarat ground be favorable for you in the final as well?

“It is wonderful that we are going to play in the second final in a row. I think the hard work we have put in all these days will pay off. We are a completely settled team. There are bowlers who can take wickets like Shami, Mohit, Rashid. There are bowlers who can add runs quickly.

Ahmedabad ground is a perfect ground for scoring big scores. I also think this is where most sixes have been hit this season. It cannot be denied that the atmosphere will be a bit in our favor as a local team. But you have to enjoy everything and play good cricket.”

What is the impact of the Impact Player Regulation?

“So far I have seen good results from the impact player rule. Out of the 16 players in the squad, 5 players in the pavilion can get a chance at any moment of the game. It is a great thing. With that opportunity, there is a space for that player to perform better and take his place. So the impact player rule I don’t see any downside.”
