After India’s victory at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, head coach Gautam Gambhir made a big statement about Shubman Gill. Gambhir praised Gill, saying that he has passed his toughest test as captain in England and no one has done him any favor by appointing him as Test and ODI captain.

Let us tell you that under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, India had leveled the five-Test series in England, whereas now it defeated West Indies in both the matches. Gill has now been made the captain of the ODI team in place of Rohit Sharma, which will start with the tour of Australia.

When Gambhir was asked how he handles the new captain as a head coach, he said, “By allowing him to maintain his natural approach. I think nobody has done him any favor by making him Test or ODI captain. I think he deserves it. I believe he has worked hard. He has already passed the toughest test in the England tour as a captain. The England tour was really quite tough because we faced foreign players.” Was from a strong team under the circumstances. Gill led from the front and earned respect for himself among the players.”

Gambhir is currently focusing on the present and is not worried about whether India will play the final of the 2027 World Test Championship or not. He said, “I am not thinking that far ahead about what will happen in the final of the World Test Championship in 2027. I want to remain in the present. It is important for us to win every series. We have a very busy schedule and hopefully we will get favorable results in the future as well.”

The Indian cricket team defeated the visiting West Indies by 7 wickets in the second test played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. India won this match on the fifth day. After Team India’s victory, head coach Gautam Gambhir raised questions on the Delhi pitch. Gambhir expressed disappointment about the Delhi pitch.

Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir said after winning the two-match Test series 2-0, “I believe that we could have got a better pitch here. We got the result of the match on the fifth day, but I feel that after taking the edge of the bat, the ball should have reached the wicketkeeper or the slip fielders.”

Emphasizing the importance of Bumrah and Siraj, Gambhir said, “I know we keep talking about the important role of spinners, but when you have two great fast bowlers, you want them to make important contributions in the match.”

Usually the pitch in Delhi is helpful for spinners, but against West Indies, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar did not get any help. The batsmen were easily playing the slow balls of the spinners on the backfoot. Gambhir said, “The pitch should have some pace and bounce. But there was nothing like that in the pitch here, it is disappointing.” He further said, “We can use better pitches in future, because it is the responsibility of all of us to save Test cricket.”

India won Delhi Test by 7 wickets on the 5th day

It is noteworthy that the Delhi pitch proved helpful for the batsmen. Team India declared the first innings at 518 runs. After this, Kuldeep Yadav opened his claws and the West Indies team could score only 248 runs in the first innings. India followed on. After this, West Indies scored 390 runs in the second innings and gave India a target of 121 runs, which Team India achieved by losing 3 wickets in the first session on the fifth day.

IND vs WI Test Series: The Indian cricket team performed brilliantly by winning the Test series against the West Indies, but what was more talked about than this victory was captain Shubman Gill’s breaking of Dhoni’s tradition. Former Indian captain MS Dhoni had started a tradition that whenever Team India won a series, the trophy was handed over to the newest player of the team. Its purpose was to increase unity in the team and confidence of new players.

Gill broke Dhoni’s tradition

After winning the 2-0 series over West Indies, BCCI shared the video of Team India’s celebration on social media. The video showed that captain Shubhman Gill took the trophy from BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla and handed it over to vice-captain Ravindra Jadeja. The fans were surprised to see this, because everyone expected that this trophy would be given to a new player, as has been happening since the time of Dhoni. Fans raised questions on social media whether Gill ended the Dhoni tradition, this was the culture of the team.

Rohit and Virat also followed this tradition

MS Dhoni had started this beautiful custom during his captaincy tenure that whenever India won a series, he used to hand over the trophy to the new player of the team. Captains like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya also continued to follow this tradition, but Gill’s move seemed different from this tradition for the first time.

However, later the video showed that after Jadeja hoisted the trophy in the air, it was handed over to N Jagadeesan. In this way the tradition was not broken, but was followed in a slightly changed form. First respect to the senior, then opportunity to the new player.

VIDEO: Team India’s star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is known for his calm nature on the field, but during the Delhi Test, he expressed his displeasure over a controversial decision of the umpires. In the ongoing match between India and West Indies, Bumrah expressed his frank opinion in front of the on-field umpire, and his words were clearly captured in the stump mic. Now this video is going viral on social media, in which Bumrah is heard saying to the umpire, “You also know it is out, but technology cannot prove it.”

What was the whole matter?

The incident happened during the innings of West Indies batsman John Campbell. A fast ball from Bumrah landed directly on Campbell’s pad in front of the stump. Bumrah was sure that the batsman was out LBW, but the on-field umpire gave him not out.

The umpire suspected that the ball might have hit the inner edge of the bat, so he ruled in favor of the batsman. Dissatisfied with this decision, Bumrah and captain Shubman Gill immediately appealed to DRS.

The third umpire watched the replays again and again

The third umpire watched the replay several times to check the decision. The ball was seen hitting the stump, but it was not clear whether the ball had touched the bat before the pad or not. Due to technical limitations and lack of clear evidence, the third umpire gave the “benefit of doubt” to the batsman. The result was that the on-field umpire’s decision was upheld and Campbell was not given out.
