After India's victory against England in the second Test on Sunday, Indian cricket team captain Shubman Gill addressed the criticism about his team's fielding. After losing the first Test, Indian fielders were heavily criticized for dropping catches. However, their fielding improved at Edgbaston, with Mohammed Siraj making an amazing catch on the last day. Gill stated that they won't drop so many catches in every game and praised the bowlers for their excellent performance, which significantly contributed to the win. He added that they implemented all the strategies they discussed after the first game effectively. He acknowledged that their bowling and fielding were impressive. He said that they knew scoring 400-500 runs on that type of pitch would keep them competitive. He reiterated that they wouldn't always drop as many catches as they did previously.

Gill said Akash Deep's bowling was outstanding after the game. He explained that Akash Deep bowled with great passion, hitting excellent spots and making the ball swing in both directions. Gill emphasized how impressive this was on such a pitch and how great he was for the team. Regarding his own performance, Gill mentioned feeling good about his game and hoped to contribute to a series win to feel even better. He sees every day as a chance to learn and wants to focus on playing and making decisions purely as a batter. He believes that thinking as a captain can sometimes prevent taking necessary risks. He also hinted at Bumrah's potential return at Lord's.

The Indian captain also expressed excitement for the Lord's Test, calling it the most famous cricket ground globally. He added that playing there is a childhood dream and leading the team there is a huge honor.
