"Aggressive Approach" - Gautam Gambhir press conference today, IND vs ENG 3rd T20 — Shreyas Iyer

[0:03] High coach back-to-back, 5 losses and... [0:07] 4. [0:08] Sorry, 4. [0:09] You can watch the game better. [0:17] We just haven't played well, as simple as it can get. [0:29] We won't become a bad team after 4 games, do you? [0:34] Absolutely, so you don't become a bad team. [0:36] Sometimes if the opposition plays better than you, you don't assess the conditions better. [0:40] You don't read the conditions better. [0:41] Sometimes reading the game is equally important as well. [0:46] So we haven't done that since Ireland and there are the results. [0:50] But if you don't read the conditions and you don't play the conditions better, you will [0:55] end up being on the losing side. [0:56] There is a big difference in the history of Sanju and Sanju's team matches before the tournament. [1:17] What clarity is in the team management? [1:20] Why did he get out of it? [1:21] Why are we just looking at Surya Aungashi and Ashik? [1:24] Or if Sanju also has a rotation policy? [1:27] And what kind of conditions do we mean? [1:32] Do we think about adaptability or something else? [1:37] First of all, the clarity that Sanju has had to get the clarity from Sanju and Samson is on my side. [1:42] And that conversation is only one of the head coach and one of the players. [1:45] We don't know what it is from outside. [1:50] And we are absolutely clear that Sanju, what he has done for India during the World Cup has been a phenomenal phenomenon. [1:59] And sometimes you just have to look at the form as well of a certain player. [2:02] And there is no hard and fast rule that he cannot make a comeback in this series. [2:07] And more importantly, we ultimately, international cricket is about results. [2:11] So whatever we feel is the best combination to give us the results, we play that combination, we play that playing 11. [2:17] And that is what I have always been a big believer, that everyone needs to earn their place. [2:21] Everyone needs to earn the right to play for India. [2:23] Yeah, adaptability obviously we haven't adapted well. [2:27] Reality is this, whether it is Ireland or England, it is always our results. [2:33] And if we have better adapted, if we play better cricket, we will lose 4 matches. [2:40] How do you feel the top order fared against a high pace today? [2:51] And so you imagine you will face a lot of answers and outs and you wouldn't want to try them out? [2:57] I don't know what England is going to try and do, but we've got to keep getting better at playing pace, as simple as it can get. [3:03] And more importantly, I thought that today was probably one of the off days, because if you see the last two T20s, [3:08] we've got 190 on the board in both the T20 games. [3:12] So sometimes when you play a high-risk, high-reward game, these things can happen. [3:16] You can get bundled out for the score and that is what has made us successful and we'll try and continue to play the same way. [3:23] We've always believed that in a T20 game, it's all about going out there and expressing yourself. [3:27] And sometimes you do get the results and sometimes you don't get the results. [3:34] How are you? [3:35] This was England's 80s. [3:39] Perform in this format, start to get rid of the Salonians where they've been struggling. [3:44] Do you think there's so much better in it? [3:52] I think that is what Brendan needs to answer, honestly. [3:54] I can't answer on Brendan's part, but yes, I've always believed that England is a proper white ball team, [4:01] whether it's 50-over format or T20 format, the kind of quality battles, they've got the kind of quality bullying they've got. [4:06] Obviously, even when you go back to that semi-final against India at Mumbai, we won the game by five runs. [4:14] So obviously, we knew that how dangerous England can be and that's probably one of the reasons why they also play high-risk, high-reward. [4:19] And that's why they've got the results, but they've got the results and lost for 21 T20s. [4:23] Why is it hard? [4:28] Yeah, I'm sure, absolutely, because when you've got so much of experience with likes of Phil, Saul, Charles, Butler and all those guys, [4:34] with Chopra and all those guys, obviously, their high-quality side with so much of experience, that do play a huge part. [4:42] When you play in batting-friendly wickets back in India, so when you play in these conditions, obviously, it's far more easier as a bowling group [4:50] as compared to when you play in the IPL. [4:54] Sir, Prince Yadav has taken to international cricket like a duck to water. [4:58] It's just two games. [5:00] Don't jump the gun. [5:02] I think he still has a lot to improve. [5:05] I think that is where we need to get better as well. [5:07] I think he started off his T20 career really well, especially today, because on these conditions and against a batting line-up like this, [5:15] obviously, he had put his hand up and performed phenomenally well, but again, he's got a lot to improve as well. [5:23] There are a lot of negatives today, but do you have to carry forward today, or do you have to carry a turn around today? [5:31] Yes, you can carry forward a lot, because the kind of day we've had, but yes, Prince Yadav, as you mentioned, Prince Yadav was playing his other T20 match. [5:41] I think that he played the game, because the analysis is very easy, but whatever he has put over, whether he has taken over, whether he has taken over, whether he has taken over, whether he has taken over, whether he has taken over. [5:54] If you have taken over, whether you have taken over the other T20 match, it just shows that the boy has got a bright future, and I hope he keeps working hard and getting better. [6:06] Welcome, I think that in combination with which he has no conditions, is that also a good problem? [6:20] Look, there are a lot of conditions that matter, but if you see, there are changes in the T20 team. [6:27] When you go to reset your T20 side, you will get some performances like this. [6:34] Because if you played in the last World Cup Final and played in the last World Cup Final, and played in the last World Cup Final, you will have a lot of changes. [6:42] Whether you take the captain or the opening batman or the opening batman, whether you don't have the speed, you don't have the speed, you don't have the speed. [6:48] So, when you are going to reset again, you will have a lot of time. [6:51] Because if you see, you are opening a game for 15 years, you are just Prince Yadav, who are playing their second T20 match. [7:00] And, after that, you will see the game in the last World Cup Final, even with the goals of Injury, and finally, you will be able to see the results of the result. [7:07] And, no doubt, the results of the international team is very important. [7:10] But, to see that, very practical, it is very important. [7:12] Sometimes, you will get the time for the players to be in the group or develop, especially with such teams. [7:19] If you are in the high quality side, then, if you give the players to be in the deep sea, then you will give them a little time for the players. [7:27] That they will eventually get developed. [7:29] Because after the research, the work seems to be right. [7:37] Coach, like you said, the accountability and adaptability was an issue of these conditions. [7:43] So, I just wanted to check, considering the conditions we had in IPL and subcontinent conditions, [7:51] and these conditions, how much of balance you need in terms of respecting the conditions [7:58] when you are going for that high risk, high risk? [8:02] Look, I think that it is important to assess the conditions, no doubt about that. [8:07] But it is also important that how to keep the game, that is equally important as well. [8:13] Because sometimes, it's a small thing, but Breeze can play a huge part as well. [8:18] Sometimes, one side where the dimensions are much bigger than the other side, that is important as well. [8:24] So, these small, small things in a TQD game can make a huge difference. [8:28] And sometimes what happens is, when everyone in a batting line-up starts playing high risk, high reward, [8:32] sometimes these things can happen. [8:33] So, probably a middle-order, the experienced guys who played enough international cricket [8:37] needs to adapt and probably play according to the situation as well. [8:43] We did that during the World Cup as well. [8:45] Our top three was firing and we wanted to play that high risk, high reward, [8:48] but then we had four or five who were still able to build the innings and probably anchor the innings as well. [8:53] And that is something that we've lacked today. [8:55] And that's why we called the result what we called the result. [8:57] Again, I think it boils down to probably reading the game situation more importantly. [9:03] I think that is something that we've lacked today. [9:06] Thank you. [9:09] Thank you. [9:10] Thank you.
