Virat Kohli (L) and Kane Williamson (R). (Figure: Instagram) Timesofindia.com in Manchester:SHUBMAN GILL led India in three tests – lost two and won one. The ongoing Versus England test series is the first task of the 25 -year -old as the captain of the test and has impressed. He was in flames with the bat, led the pack well in the middle, and the vibrations outside the field were relaxed. Many Bcci’s fingers headed to give him a captain’s bracelet, but his former teammate Gujarat Titans Kane Williamson was not surprised by this decision.

Williamson is currently playing an explosion of vitality for Middlesex and was in participation on the 3rd day of the Lord’s test that lost to India by 22.The former Captain of New Zealand feels the series to play, each side could win them all. In an exclusive cottage with Timesofindia.com Williamson opens up on how a test tab has evolved, a new Indian test captain in England under Brendon McCullum, and his views on the decision of the Virat Kohli pension.Excerpts:During the third test between India and England you were on the Lord last week. Do you think that test bats have evolved over the years and isn’t that what it used to be? Especially with the point system of the World Championship?It is definitely … I think it has evolved. He changed. Definitely the World Test Championship that creates this piece of context, you know, value. Everyone is now just really promoting the result, so you can see that most games are now decisive in a generally in four days. However, the goals in this series were quite sporty. It was quite good for the game. It will create much more results, much more fun cricket and then see teams like England. The best recipe for their success is to go out and be nice and positive and play with this freedom to try to move the game as quickly as possible and this way to work.I think every team is still doing it a little differently, but the whole is a bit of a changed direction a little and I think it was important with the challenges faced by a longer format. And we talk about it so often. But many test crickets we see in our TV species will really draw you and it is really exciting to see.

I am sure that you would not be surprised that the man in the forefront of this revolution of species is the former Captain of New Zealand Brendon McCullum.I think it’s not surprised. He always played with this freedom and then played under Brendon for a long time, and as he promotes players to go out and express themselves and commit to it and have the full support, people behind them, so they are able to do it day after day. This is what we see on this side of England and is very consistent with what it looked like to work for a long time. Was quite charming to watch Many test matches and certainly this series, which we saw between England and India, was very exciting. Two strong teams with slightly different styles, but both who try to move the game forward were great to follow.
India vs England: India does not reach Lord, England Lead Series 2-1
Were you surprised that India ended up on the wrong side, especially after the type of cricket they played, and how did England were on the edge after they got it cheaply in the second exchange? Or do you think the playground played its role to make Scoreline 2-1 in favor of England? It was a little more old school, was it? The test match in Lord’s, where players had to dig deep and really worked hard for their runs and the pitchors got some help and knew they must also be patient to receive rewards. We have seen both teams work and adapt to this way, and any persecution for the last time on the goal that has deteriorated is never easy. And above this score, which was successful on this basis, was just a handful of chases.There were some challenges, and after it was said, India was excellent throughout the series and both teams could all win them. They both had their opportunities, which I think they create great viewing and show that two very strong teams are going, but I assume that at the beginning of this competition this ability was to see a new ball and build some of these early partnerships. Then it goes a long way to knock the score as 190.

I think we must be honest, that the conditions of the Lord were significantly different from the other two test matches. The teams looked at the persecution of over 300 and there were elements of comfort and some of it, because the goals were so good and together together. So it was a much more old school that was quite nice to watch and watch too. I think we haven’t seen it for so long. We will have some challenges, but I think the Indian team is playing a brilliant cricket, every day it appears with a great opportunity against a strong English side and you certainly know when throwing up, you really don’t know who they are favorite, who go to every match.

You saw SHUBMAN GILL from nearby neighborhoods in Gujarat Titans. What is your evaluation of Captain, cricket Shaubman Gill and how he responded to the early challenges of the test cricket as a leader and as the new Indian No. 4. He replied beautifully, did he? I always thought the captain was sitting well with Shubman. I know that the events in the franchise space are slightly different, you know it is a shorter type of Versus Captain in your country, which is that you know it’s much more challenging. Even if you’re in this role, you’re never out of it. It is a much larger role in and off the field. Watching Shubman works and is wise even after his years and you know that responsibility is naturally something to try to take over. So he’s hearing that he has this opportunity, I was not surprised, but you know that the quality of the player is something that is obvious. It’s absolutely world class. And all the other formats in the whole … IPL for several years and one day I think there is the peak of the tree. The test cricket is really a matter of time. To see how he comes here and the conditions that can be challenging with Dukes from time to time and dominate as it should, it was amazing.
There will be really valuable lessons for him, and we look at the leaders that it will happen, but there are still times.

And then I think that for him and his comfort in this role and the leader of the Indian team is a long way. The cricket SHUBMAN and the leadership features he has … If he separates them, then there is real quality in both departments and in fact begins to insert the things you value, along with the head coach. Forming of a really strong bond … it’s really important and I think that’s what we see in these early stages. There will be really valuable lessons for him, and we look at the leaders that it will happen, but there are still times.

When Roger Federer retired, Rafael Nadal was very emotional and said, “Part of my life remained with him”. I know another sport, but did you get such a feeling when Virat Kohli decided to say goodbye to the tests?Funny that you mentioned it. You don’t consider it, even if you’re just in the middle of it, and then the players you’ve played with for so many years. Your career has married from less than 19 years to captain or playing for your country. Then in the captain, if we did it … were very similar times as natural development. Everyone will end.When some of these decisions are made, they stop you and make you consider a lot of things, but also recognition and respect. Someone like a virat .. so many great moments in the whole international game, but really a bond outside the playground is something you know much more strange and the experiences that have been shared together.All good things end and the way he could make the decisions that feel comfortable … I think it was incredible to go to his conditions, etc. Although he was still involved in one of the formats.

What are your thoughts of the big three discussions Ao, how England, India and Australia regularly play five tests, but we see how South Africa and New Zealand win WTC titles without playing a larger series. What is your opinion on the situation?At the end of the day you focus on things you can control and you know that playing five test matches for countries like New Zealand and others that share a similar position are not realistic despite real passion. And as you mentioned, there are other teams where it is a more feasible option. You focus only on what you can do and on the calendar you have, and you are trying to basically make your best performance and grow as a side over the two -year -old blocks you have for the World Championship.Just focus on things that are ahead of you, and you know that if you do it, you believe it, then it will allow you to give your best performance and eventually give you a chance, but yeah, apparently there is a number of strong teams and I think it is useful for the game.

He plays T20s here in England, what was the experience of jumping from one country to another.Yeah, I really enjoyed playing in the explosion of vitality and you know as a family, it was nice to be in the UK. We have some links. So it was nice and you will play it, you know, such land and standards are good, so yeah, it was fun and nice to play in the new team and in the new community. Which is always nice to get the opportunity to play cricket around the world.What is it for an international professional, like you, how it is to interact with different individuals, part of different cultures, during your time playing for different teams in different leagues around the world?I really like this aspect. A little flexibility and opportunities to be exposed to different cultures in different parts of the world and play a good cricket and in the sport I love. It is certainly an attractive part … at this stage of my career and also to have a family with me and they are going to see.
