India will have to defeat a “world class team on a very tough ground” to emerge victorious against England in the semifinals of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on March 5.At least this is the assessment of India coach Gautam Gambhir ahead of their semifinal clash.England, unbeaten in the tournament so far, have been a strong contender for the cup along with India and South Africa in the eyes of former players and fans alike. Their ‘Bazball’ philosophy may not have given them as much success in the Tests as they would have expected but it has certainly reinvigorated their T20 ambitions.“England are a world-class team, they’re a quality team, they’ve got a lot of quality players as well and we all know that Wankhede is a tough venue. Hopefully, we can turn up and see that we have another opportunity to do something special for the team, for the country and hopefully we play a best game as well. That is going to be very important,” Gambhir said.For India to register a convincing win, the team will have to again repeat a collective performance. Opener Sanju Samson (97) turned up as sheet anchor, calmly dismantling West Indies from start to finish. But the coach believes every contribution big or small at the right time gives the team a winning edge.“Had Shivam Dube not smashed a couple of boundaries in the penultimate over, no one would have spoken about Sanju Samson’s match-winning 97 against West Indies on Sunday,” Gambhir said, adding that as long as he is the coach, every contribution will get an honourable mention.“For many years, we’ve only spoken about certain contributions. This is a team sport, and this will always remain a team sport,” he said without elaborating it further.“For me, Shivam’s two boundaries are as important as Sanju’s 97 because if he hadn’t hit those two boundaries, you won’t even have spoken about it (97-run knock). The big contribution makes headlines. The small contribution, the contribution that can help the team win, cross that line, are very important. And that’s why I say that this is going to be the philosophy going forward till I am there.”Gambhir bluntly expressed his disdain for the fuss about data among coaches and players in contemporary cricket. Cricket is played on ground, and not on laptop, he seemed to be pointing.“I don’t believe in data, honestly. I’ve never seen the data. I don’t even know what data is all about. I absolutely do not believe in it, because I feel it’s more about instinct,” Gambhir said.
