Team India captain Shubman Gill's conversation with the players during team huddle went viral ahead of day five of the second Test against England at Edgbaston, Birmingham. In a video surfaced on social media, Gill uttered strong words to his players, expressing his urge to pummel England and defeat them to level the series.
Walking into day five at Edgbaston, India held a massive upper hand, needing only eight wickets to win and the hosts required well over 400 runs. Following a fairly lengthy delay, the tourists came with a sense of purpose. In a video surfaced on social media, the 25-year-old told the players.
"Inki Maa ch**ni hai Aaj. New ball hai g**d maar do aaj inki. Yahi time hai." (It's a new ball, we have to take wickets in clusters. This is the time)
Nevertheless, Free Press Journal cannot confirm the authenticity of the video.
