MUMBAI – Indian cricket’s future looks brighter than ever, according to head coach *Gautam Gambhir, who touched down in Mumbai today after the thrilling five-match Test series against England. Speaking to reporters, Gambhir didn’t hold back in his praise for skipper *Shubman Gill, whose monumental performance was instrumental in securing a hard-fought 2-2 draw. Gambhir confidently declared that Gill is set to shine for many years to come.
Gill, who led the team from the front, had a series for the ages, racking up a jaw-dropping 754 runs, including four magnificent centuries. The young captain’s leadership and form were widely credited for galvanizing the squad against a formidable English side. When asked about his skipper, a visibly pleased Gambhir said, “I think Gill has done a fabulous job, that’s all I can say, and he will keep doing well for Indian cricket.”
Despite the team’s heroics, which saw India claw their way back after a difficult start to the series, Gambhir remained humble, refusing to take any credit for the tactical decisions that played out. Instead, he showered praise on the team’s resilience and fighting spirit. “We are really happy. I think the boys deserve every bit of it because the way they fought for the last two months in all the five Test matches. They deserve all the plaudits,” he stated.
While pacer Mohammed Siraj has been singled out for his standout bowling, Gambhir insisted that the entire team deserved recognition. The coach mentioned that it would be unfair to highlight just one player, as many stepped up to make a significant impact at different times. “Look, he (Siraj) has been really brilliant, not only him, the entire team has performed brilliantly, and it is really difficult for me to mention one name,” Gambhir said. “Be it Shubman, be it Siraj, Jaddu, Washi, Jaiswal… I can stand here and talk for the next 20 minutes about the individual performances. I think the boys have been brilliant in the last two months.”
