Shubman Gill is the PoTM: Definitely one of my most satisfying innings I have played. When me and Rohit bhai went out there we decided not cutting the ball so I started using my feet to the fast bowlers as well. When Virat bhai came we were talking about front foot shots being difficult so we planned to play more off the back foot. The first one gave me a lot of confidence and the second one helped me get closer to my hundred so both are satisfying.

Shubman Gill is the Player of the Match. He says it is one of his most satisfying innings. His first century in ICC events. When he and Rohit went out there, just cutting the ball wasn't easy because the ablls outside off stump weren't coming onto the bat. So he tried using his feet against the fast bowlers and go over the circle.

Then when the spinners came on, he and Kohli spoke of how it wasn't easy to hit singles on the front foot. So they concentrated on playing back.

At one point there was pressure on us and the message came from the dressing room that one batter had to bat through to the end. The first six gave me a lot of confidence, the second one got me closer to a hundred, so both were satistying.

Bj: "Everyone talking about pitch being on a slower side. Remember Shami a fast bowler took 5 wickets haul. Shami is back. "

Shanto: Losing five wickets in the powerplay cost us the game. I think so. Hridoy and Jaker batted brilliantly but we still made mistakes on the field. Dropped catches and a few runouts missed, the result could have been different. Impressive batting from Hridoy against their spinners. I hope they will continue doing the same. I don't think so. If we got wickets with the new ball it could have been different.

Rohit Sharma | India captain: Before you come and play you got to be confident. As the game goes on there are different emotions that come through. But there is a lot of experience in that dressing room. Gill and KL played really well. Very hard to say that (on pitch playing slow) after just one game. You play the conditions and try and think about what you do. We assessed the conditions well as a team. You are bound to be under pressure in a tournament like Champions Trophy. Very happy for him (Shami), long time waiting. We know what he brings to us. We need guys like him to stand up when we need. Gil, we know the class that he has, Shouldn't surprise anyone. It was good to see bat till the end. May take him for dinner tomorrow (smiles). No, that was an easy catch, I should have taken that catch with the standards I have set for myself. But I do know these things are bound to happen. Credit to Hridoy and Jaker, they stitched a nice partnership. (Asked if he expects the pitch to play similar in the next game as well) Not sure, but it will be pretty much similar I guess. I am not the curator here to tell you how exactly it will play but looks like it with the way the games have been played here.
