In terms of that very important series. I have played just about 11 T20Is, not many under my belt. I'll be hoping to get some international T20 experience. Just want to be in a good mental space, then it's just about executing the shots, especially in this format. [Pressure] At the end of the day, it's all about bat and ball. It's all about playing for the team. We have such as strong batting lineup, gives freedom for all to play the game. [On the pull shot] I started practicing the shot from the younger days, I started with a plastic ball on a cement pitch. It was my father's idea," Gill said ahead of the toss.
