“I was warning him not to do that because I was using the same bat that I used during the England series.” My bat is actually fairly old. I told him I was trying to save my bat since he was hitting it so hard. And when we were in the middle, he would remark, “No, let’s do it again,” if he didn’t get it right. I had to urge him to stop crying,” News18 cited Gill as saying.
