WATCH: Sunil Gavaskar presents Shubman Gill with signed cap & shirt in heartwarming gesture after stellar batting display
Indian cricketing legend Sunil Gavaskar's love for the game is no secret. Whether it's his passionate dance when Rohit Sharma-led India won the 2024 ICC Champions Trophy or his stern remarks like the 'Stupid, stupid, stupid' comment after Rishabh Pant threw his wicket away during the 2024 Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, the batting great has been omnipresent in all the highs and lows of Indian cricket. He has repeatedly made young cricketers' days special with his heartwarming gestures. One such wholesome moment occurred on Day 3 of the fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy between India and England at The Oval in London, where Gavaskar gifted a cap and a shirt to current India Test captain Shubman Gill for his tremendous performance with the bat in the series. Gill was in sublime form in his debut series as captain, narrowly missing Gavaskar's record for the most runs by an Indian in a Test series by just 20 runs. His batting heroics, including a double century in the first innings and a ton in the second at Edgbaston, led India to a famous victory. A wholesome moment between Shubman Gill & Sunil Gavaskar 😍#SonySportsNetwork #ENGvIND #NayaIndia #DhaakadIndia #TeamIndia #ExtraaaInnings | @ShubmanGill — Sony Sports Network (@SonySportsNetwk) August 2, 2025 Gill finished the series with 754 runs in 10 innings across five Tests, including four centuries and a highest score of 269. Gavaskar still holds the record for the most runs by an Indian in a Test series, which is 774 runs in eight innings against the West Indies during the 1970-71 tour. On Saturday, Gavaskar approached Gill after the day's play and said, 'Well done! I've got a gift for you in anticipation of you going past (the record of most runs by an Indian batter in a Test series)… but at least you have something to aim for in the next series, yeah? This is just a little gift… a shirt with my 'SG' initials. Someone made it for me, but I'm giving it to you. I don't know if it will fit you or not.' He added, 'This is a little cap, which I give to very few people, with my signature. All the best, God bless—and that last move was fantastic, setting a fielder there and bowling a yorker.' India trail the five-match Test series 2-1, and with the series on the line, they need eight more wickets to win the last Test and level the series. The home team, meanwhile, need 324 more runs to make it a commanding 3-1 win.

IND vs ENG Test: Former England skipper says Mohammed Siraj brings Kohli-Rohit-like intensity to Team India - 'He lifts the team'
India's Mohammed Siraj walks off field after the third day's play of the fifth cricket test match between England and India at The Kia Oval in London, Saturday, Aug. 2, 2025. (AP Photo/Kirsty Wigglesworth) Former England captain Nasser Hussain believes Mohammed Siraj brings a unique energy to the Indian team, comparable to what Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma offer on the field. "With Chris Woakes going down injured for England, Siraj is the only fast bowler who has lasted the course of the series and put in spell after spell," Hussain wrote in his column for The Daily Mail. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "He is the sort of bloke a captain absolutely loves. He lifts the team. I always talk about Darren Gough being that sort of person when I was England captain, and Siraj is that man for India." Hussain also lauded the fighting spirit India have shown throughout the series. "I have been hugely impressed with the character and fight they have shown throughout this series," he said. India vs England Day 4 weather forecast: More rain in store for Day 4, which team will benefit? "Some people thought they might roll over after the way they lost at Headingley, but they have since shown what a tough side they are to beat. "They have won as many sessions as England, if not more. They have just been found wanting in some of the crucial moments. "It is especially impressive when you consider they lost legends Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli right before the series." Mohammed Siraj has bowled an impressive 155-plus overs across nine England innings, and not once did the thought of physical breakdown cross his mind during this marathon series. At a time when the term 'workload management' is in vogue, Siraj lasting five Tests and already picking up 18 wickets from four games is a testimony to his world-class fitness and stamina. Poll Do you believe India can win the series despite losing key players? Yes, they have the character No, it's too challenging Maybe, it depends on performance "I don't think about breaking down. I only think about the match. I love playing for the country and I want to give everything to the country. I keep my plans simple and try to give my everything, and results do follow," Siraj told Sky Sports during an interview with former India player Dinesh Karthik . Siraj, who has shouldered a lot of extra responsibility in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah—who could only play three Tests due to workload management—said he enjoys taking on the challenge. "To be honest, I love responsibility, but I also miss Jassi bhai because he is a senior bowler and leads by example in terms of what lines and lengths to bowl to various batsmen. I like that. "When Jassi bhai isn't around, you get that confidence that you need to shoulder extra responsibility, and I enjoy that. I don't take extra pressure and try to keep things simple."

ENG vs IND, 5th Test Day 4 weather: Will rain disrupt the Oval thriller?
Three action-packed days at the Kennington Oval have set up the fifth and final Test between England and India for a dramatic finale. As the series stands at 2-1 in England's favour, Day 4 is being billed as the business end of the contest — one that could either level the series at 2-2 or see England clinch it a bowling masterclass from Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna on Day 2, Day 3 belonged to India's batting grit and flair. Yashasvi Jaiswal stood tall with a masterful century, leading India's charge towards a potentially match-winning lead. The real surprise, however, came from nightwatchman Akash Deep, who shocked the English bowlers with an aggressive counterattack. Contributions from Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar in the latter half of the innings further extended India's second-innings total, setting England a daunting target of 374 vs ENG, 5th Test Day 3: Highlights Just before stumps, Siraj struck with a lethal inswinging yorker to dismiss Zak Crawley for 14 — a vital blow that tilted the momentum in India's favour heading into Day the best news from Day 3, though, was the weather — after the first two days were frequently interrupted by rain, skies remained clear.
