Team India scored a historic victory against Australia in Gabba last year. In this match, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant gave the team victory by batting brilliantly. Ravi Shastri, who was the coach of Team India on this tour, has now revealed the conversation between the two players.
Speaking to a sports channel, Ravi Shastri said: ‘I thought it was impossible to achieve such a big goal on the last day in Gabba. We had lost three plots until the tea break. When I was going to the bathroom, I heard that Shubman and Rishabh were talking. I won’t say what they were talking about but after listening to them I understood that both players are going to win the game. I didn’t say a word to him and I quietly left there saying ‘keep growing’.
Shastri said: “I encourage this type of cricket, where you don’t try to avoid defeat and turn it into victory. This is truly one of the biggest thefts. That’s what we did at Gabba.
Team India showed strong play as they chased the target in the second inning of the Brisbane test. The Indian team was chasing the goal of 328 races on the final day. Australia was in a strong position. The match was more likely to end in a draw, but thanks to aggressive tackles from Shubman Gill (91) and Rishabh Pant (89), India beat Australia by 3 wickets. With this victory, Team India also won the series 2-1. Without the older players on the team, the Indian team won the match by going to the stronghold of Australia. Australia hadn’t lost a game here for 32 years.
