Chandigarh (The Uttam Hindu): Former cricketer Yograj Singh has praised Shubman Gill's innings of 269 runs at Edgbaston. He said that Gill should have scored a triple century. Talking to news agency IANS, Yograj Singh said, "The hunger of batsmen to score runs should never end. I never get too excited. The job of batsmen is to score runs. You have scored 200, score 300. However, Shubman Gill played very well.

The great Yuvraj Singh is behind Gill. I am not saying this because Yuvraj is my son. He belongs to everyone." He said that in the future you will see that more players trained by Yuvraj will take Indian cricket forward like Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma. It is also possible that all the 11 players playing for the Indian team are trained by Yuvraj. Shubman has been with Yuvraj for the last seven years. Yuvraj is constantly working on his flaws. You must be seeing that Shubman's batting is getting better than before." Shubman scored 269 runs in the first innings of the Edgbaston Test. It was expected that he would complete a triple century, but he missed it. However, it was because of his innings that India could score 587 in the first innings.

Yograj Singh said that India should score around 250 in the second innings and give England a target of around 450 and win the match by getting them all out. We have to adopt this approach to win. We have to get out of the fear of defeat. The former cricketer said that bowlers win the match. Fielders also play a very important role in winning the match. We should have such fielders who catch those catches, which are very less likely to be caught. When you catch incredible catches, the chances of winning the match increase by 99 percent. Dropping catches reduces the confidence of the team. In the first Test match, the Indian team had dropped many catches, the result of which had to be borne in the form of defeat. On the criticism after the defeat, Yograj said that people have no work, they only know how to criticize. Win or lose, criticism does not stop. Here everyone is a coach. Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav are our most prominent bowlers. If they have been kept out of the team, then there must be some thinking behind it. We have to support our team in every situation while avoiding criticism, only then we will be able to win.
