Unfortunately Sai Sudharsan did not improve as much as we liked as we can&#8217;t take risks in Tests. <!-- -->But we are confident of our 15 (players),&#8221; Gill said at the pre-match press conference.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Gill said the five-day nature of Test cricket meant India could not risk playing players who were not fully fit.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>&#8220;The Test match is for 5 days. If it&#8217;s one-day or T20, then it&#8217;s a different story. But in the Test match, you don&#8217;t want to take a risk. I feel that in the Test match, you have more opportunities with other players (to come back).&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>He explained that players have several opportunities to contribute during a Test, even if they do not start well.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>&#8220;For example, if you don&#8217;t play well on the first day, you get another chance. So, the players have more chances to come back. So, keeping that in mind, we were a little disappointed (with Sai and Bumrah).&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>&#8220;But it didn&#8217;t affect the morale of the team that much that they didn&#8217;t get the first 11. I feel that whoever is in our 15 or whoever we give a chance in our playing 11 in any condition, they can play well and win the game,&#8221; he said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>India will begin the series with Ravindra Jadeja as their only all-rounder, with Washington Sundar still recovering from injury.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>Gill backed young all-rounder Manav Suthar to contribute if he gets an opportunity during the series.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>&#8220;I think that&#8217;s where someone like Manav coming in. He&#8217;s got the ability with the bat. Of course, you need a bit of experience, you need some belief and confidence and that will only come once you&#8217;re out there playing, when you score some runs.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>&#8220;And hopefully he does that in the series.&#8221;<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/india-vs-sri-lanka\/constant-communication-shubman-gill-denies-gap-with-bcci-coe-amid-injury-woes\/articleshow\/133244620.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India&#8217;s coach Gautam Gambhir, left, chats with captain Shubman Gill during a practice session a day ahead of the first cricket test match against Sri Lanka in Galle, Sri Lanka, Friday, Aug. 14, 2026.
