India opener Shubman Gill has credited his team's extended preparation time for their recent Test victory, stating 'extra time in preparation definitely helps.' The comment comes after India's win, with Gill emphasizing the value of thorough practice before a series. His remarks were reported by Cricinfo, though the full article is currently inaccessible.
The narrative that extra preparation is the main driver of Test success is a bit lazy. Gill's point is valid but ignores that England had similar gaps and still lost. The real test of this theory will be India's performance in the next away series, where prep time won't be as generous.
