Shubman Gill speaks on playing cricket in New Zealand: I came here for the U-19 World Cup. Made my ODI debut here in 2019. Good to comeback (to New Zealand), feels good. Definitely, I have fond memories coming back to NZ. When get to know that I'll be going to NZ, it brings a smile. I have been able to execute a few things I have been practicing (about his success in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy). I have always felt hitting sixes is not about power, it's about timing. If I am getting that right, I know I can hit sixes. It's always about me looking to score than look for four or six. I want to play less dot balls, I want to keep ticking, ones and twos etc. It's more about you being able to wait and swing in the line of the ball rather than swinging hard at the ball
