Gill, India's youngest Test captain, addressed the media with assuredness, outlining his strategic vision to lead the team to success in foreign conditions.

Underlining a philosophy inherited from senior players over the past decade, Gill affirmed, 'The blueprint that we have received from our seniors in the past 5-10 years is that we can win anywhere.' He emphasized this approach, aiming to cultivate a supportive team environment that enhances performance.

Gill stated the importance of maintaining a positive team culture where players feel secure, confident, and clear about their roles.
