Team India's Test captain Shubman Gill gave a cheeky reply to an English journalist about whether England's 'Bazball' style has inspired them and what the tourists' style of play will be under his captaincy. The 25-year-old replied that they have to wait until August to see what their style will be.

The 'Bazball' style of play took birth during the 2022 edition, denoted to England's high-risk and aggressive style of playing. Although their style of play has come under scrutiny, England haven't lost a home series since Ben Stokes took charge of the side in 2022.

Answering the question from the reporter, here's what Gill said:

"I think you're going to have to wait until August to see what kind of style is that going to be."

"IPL comes every year" - Shubman Gill

When asked if winning the IPL is bigger than winning a Test series in England, Gill picked the latter as Indian captains don't get many chances to come to these countries in the leadership role. The 25-year-old stated:

"Definitely the Test series, in my opinion. You don't get many opportunities as a captain to be able to come to England. Maybe 2, if you're the best of the generation, maybe 3. IPL comes every year and you get to have a crack at it every year. So, in my opinion, winning the Test series, in England, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa are bigger."
