Gautam Gambhir's Fiery 'Culture' Speech After Memorable Win In 5th Test
Following the 2-2 Test series draw against England, India head coach Gautam Gambhir expressed confidence in his team's ability to dominate red-ball cricket, provided they maintain their work ethic and commitment. India concluded the five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy with a thrilling six-run win at The Oval on Monday. The win not only saved India from a third consecutive Test series defeat under Gambhir's tenure but also silenced critics for doubting the Shubman Gill-led young side. Overcoming the Test retirements of senior batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, the young Indian team played as a unit and displayed grit and resilience to deliver outstanding performance under pressure on challenging English conditions. "The way this series has panned out 2-2 is an outstanding result, congratulations to all. So remember, we will keep getting better, we will keep working hard, we will keep improving our areas - because if we keep doing that, we can dominate Test cricket for a very long period. People will come & go, but the culture of the dressing room should always be like that people want to be part of this culture, that is what we want to create. Good luck, enjoy yourself. You can take a couple of days off, and you deserve every bit of it. What you guys have achieved, you deserve every bit of it. Congratulations," Gambhir said in a Dressing Room BTS video shared by the BCCI.

"Karma Will Affect You": R Ashwin Blasts Ben Stokes' 'Joke' After India's Oval Miracle vs England
Ravichandran Ashwin 's analysis of the India vs England Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy was a pleasure to hear. While, as a player, he was always the one to have a thinking head when it came to outplaying rivals, off the field, Ashwin has shown a knack to be an eagle-eyed cricket expert, who does not miss anything. Same was the case when he analysed the memorable 5th Test at The Oval. While he had some very good things to say about the series, Ashwin also talked about the imprefection. "I want to talk about another imperfection in this series. There's a Tamil saying that loosely translates to 'Your karma will affect you almost instantly'. What you sow is what you reap," Ashwin said on Ash Ki Baat. "After the last Test, there were questions asked about the injury to Pant. Gautam Gambhir said that such injuries need a substitution. And when Stokes was asked about this response, he simply brushed it away, calling it a joke. I am a big fan of Stokes' cricketing abilities and his attitude. But he can think and then reply. " Chris Woakes walked in with his shoulder tucked inside his sweater. And was ready to give his life to win the game for his team, and almost did it too. He had the game awareness to run and give the strike to Atkinson Hats off to Chris Woakes. Remarkable attitude, and a remarkable way to step out for your team, and put your body on the line putting his body on the line" Ashwin also referred to a quote by England captain Michael Vaughan in the need for rules to evolve. 'Michael Vaughan said this is one area where the game can evolve. Substitutions should be allowed. All I'm saying is: show a little empathy for the other team. Stokes should have considered what it would be like if a player of Rishabh Pant 's calibre was in his team and got injured. Wouldn't you want a substitution? Wouldn't that be fair? You are free to share your opinion — but using words like 'joke' and 'ridiculous' isn't respectful. Think before you speak. Karma hits instantly," he said.
