Shubman Gill was adjudged the man of the match for his fifty in a low scoring match, chasing 116 on a slow track. After winning the award, the young Indian batter said, "It was important to keep the wickets in hand, and when the balls and runs were closer then just take it easy. It was important to assess the wicket. It wasn't easy to hit the spinners on this wicket."
"I was targeting the shorter side, and the leg-side was shorter than the off-side at one end. When I didn't have much runs under the belt, you don't want the opposition to gain the upper hand. When you play on slower wickets, it's more important to play with the wrists and that comes naturally to me."
