Indian captain Shubman Gill has advised the ICC not to tamper with Test cricket. The Indian team on Monday registered a thrilling win against England by six runs at the Oval. After this Gill spoke on this format. In fact, since the arrival of franchise cricket and T20 league, there is talk of danger on Test cricket, but the five matches of the Indo-England series continued for the fifth day and remained exciting. Gill took a pinch and said that if the Test match had been four -day, four matches of this series would have ended on a draw.
Gill said in the press conference after the match, ‘I think Test cricket should remain the same as it is the most beneficial and satisfactory format. You have to work hard to win in this and the best thing about this format is that it always gives you a second chance, which is not possible in any other format. If you continue to work in hard work and right direction, then you will always have another chance. I do not think that any change should be made in this format.
He could not play the oval test due to a shoulder injury, England captain Ben Stokes said that it was special to be a part of this series. On the question related to comparing the rivalry of this India and England with the Ashes, he said, ‘I think there has always been a huge rivalry between India and England. It is not just a name for the Ashes, but this series has always been bigger. I don’t think it will change. ‘
Stokes said, ‘It has been quite special to be a part of it. Every match continued to fluctuate and thrill. Sometimes India’s upper hand was heavy, sometimes ours. The series reminded Stokes of the Ashes at home in 2023. He said, ‘It has been very special to be a part of this series and experience such five matches. During the Ashes in 2023, we were in the same situation when we had to come here to win the match. It was also a special series of which I was part.
Gill also said that the combative Indian players have shown the identity of their team. This was a big series for Gill and his team after the retirement of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli and in the absence of senior players like Mohammed Shami. Even Jasprit Bumrah was not available for all matches so that the team had to change the bowling combination in every match.
