Gautam Gambhir On India's Ideology After Historic Oval Win: 'Won't Be About...'
Last Updated: Team India celebrated a historic win at The Oval, drawing the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2-2 against England. The Indian men's cricket team erupted in celebration after securing a historic win at The Oval, drawing the fiercely contested Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2-2 against England. In what was a rollercoaster five-match Test series, India's victory in the final game was more than just a result; it was a statement of belief, resilience, and collective character. Players and the head coach revealed their emotions after the game, showcasing how much this series meant to them. The Indian Cricket Team posted a video on their Instagram account featuring star players speaking about the victory. Head coach Gautam Gambhir stated in the video, 'That is gonna be the ideology of the Test team, where it won't be about individual-centric, it will be about the team," Head coach Gautam Gambhir said in the video. 'The way the boys have fought, I've always been a big believer. You should always get what you deserve, not what you want, and I think guys deserve," he added. What Did Indian Players Say? Captain Shubman Gill, who led with the bat, expressed his elation at the squad's response to the challenge throughout different phases of the series. Gill had a stellar series with the bat, surpassing the legendary Garry Sobers' tally of 722 runs to set a new record for the most runs by a touring captain in a Test series. Gill's 754 runs are now the second-highest by a captain in any series, behind only Don Bradman's 810 runs in the home Ashes of 1936-37. For India, only Sunil Gavaskar has ever scored more runs in a single series, with his 774 in the West Indies in 1970-71. 'I'm feeling very ecstatic and high right now and very happy with the way everyone performed, very happy with the way everyone contributed throughout the series. Different people stepping in at different moments. This is what you want as a captain, and I'm very happy with the way I performed as a batsman as well," he noted. Senior batter KL Rahul, who played a guiding role through the series, called it one of the best Test experiences of his career, 'Yeah, really pleasing, really happy and proud of the way we have all played and how we have represented our country." 'Extremely special and I think right up there in terms of the best Test series that I've been part of. Pleasing, really happy, and proud of the way we've all played and how we've represented our country." Ranking third in the batting charts, KL Rahul had his most productive and consistent Test series, scoring 532 runs in five matches and 10 innings at an average of 53.20, with two centuries and two fifties. His best score was 137. Washington Sundar, who stepped up in key moments, said the series would remain etched in his memory. 'I think this series will forever be special in my life," he said. 'All five days, you need to put in different kinds of energy to be able to contribute to the team and win crucial situations. It's been a massive learning for me this season," he added. For Prasidh Krishna, who featured in the final Test, it was a profoundly humbling experience. 'The incredible effort from everybody each and everybody that's that's around the physios. Especially, I think the masseurs deserve a lot of credit, along with the team, as well. To get us in shape, to get us up and running this morning, to come back, warm up again, and get on the field was incredible. I think the credit goes to the whole team here, loving it," he said. Reflecting on the match, Krishna added, 'Siraj started off really well. That first wicket was really important for us to take the momentum towards our way, and from there, I think it was it was all it was all very close hit and miss, and I think we stood up on the right side." Mohammed Siraj, whose breakthroughs set the tone, was the Player of the Match of the final Test with match figures of 9/190. 'Every batsman, every bowler, hats off to him," said Siraj. Karun Nair spoke about the environment within the team. 'What an amazing team we have," he said. 'The bonding that we have together, the environment that's been created, it's been amazing. Just cherishing this moment, to come away to England and draw the series," he added. Young wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel admitted to feeling the nerves. 'To be honest, I'm not gonna lie. I was feeling a bit of pressure as soon as I went out because it was an overcast condition. It's not that easy to keep the ball because the ball swings after passing the wicket. So, the thought was to wait for a run-out and catch and grab the opportunity and not to give any byes, so the thought was to give them as few runs as possible because they will try something they dont have wickets and that's what happened," he added. Jurel also touched on the emotional weight of wearing the India jersey."The main thing is the dream to represent India and if we are doing it in any format, it feels good," he said (With inputs from Agencies) About the Author Ritayan Basu Ritayan Basu, Senior Sub-Editor, Sports at Has been covering domestic and and international football for nearly a decade.

Why is Brock Lesnar's WWE return stirring controversy? Janel Grant's rep reacts to the Beast's glorified comeback
Brock Lesnar's return sparks reaction from Janel Grant's rep. Image via: Elsa/ Getty Images Brock Lesnar's shocking return at WWE SummerSlam 2025 set off fireworks in the arena and a firestorm outside it. As "The Beast Incarnate" dropped John Cena with his signature F5, the MetLife Stadium crowd roared. But the backlash was just as loud. Lesnar's comeback is far from an ordinary WWE surprise moment. It comes with serious controversy, legal implications, and fan outrage linked to ongoing allegations involving Vince McMahon and former WWE employee Janel Grant. Janel Grant's rep reacts to Brock Lesnar's surprise return Brock Lesnar was publicly named earlier this year in an amended federal lawsuit filed by Janel Grant against former WWE chairman Vince McMahon. Though Lesnar is not a defendant, the lawsuit alleges McMahon used Grant as a "s*xual pawn" in contract negotiations with Lesnar in 2021. The allegations are disturbing. Grant was allegedly asked to create "personalized s*xual content" for Lesnar, and a meeting was supposedly set up for a s*xual encounter that never materialized due to Lesnar's flight changes. Following his SummerSlam return, a spokesperson for Grant issued a strongly worded statement. "For far too long, abuse was allowed to thrive under WWE's leadership. Instead of righting this wrong, WWE has done nothing to ensure those responsible are held accountable. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Signs Of Heart Attack That Shouldn't Be Ignored (Take A Look) TheDaddest Undo This attempt to sweep misconduct under the rug will backfire. We look forward to the full set of facts, including those about Mr. Lesnar, coming out in a court of law where they belong but, in the meantime, we refer you back to Janel Grant's updated complaint, which outlines, in detail, the abuse she endured by McMahon and others while employed at WWE. " Lesnar's return was epic and it gave hardcore WWE fans something to cheer for but behind the spotlight, the comeback was always at the risk of controversy. Triple H opens up on keeping Brock Lesnar's return secret Brock Lesnar F5ed John Cena. Image via: Elsa/ Getty Images WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque offered insight into how Lesnar's return was orchestrated. According to Triple H, this wasn't just a creative decision as it was personal, which was rooted in John Cena's retirement run. "This is John Cena's wish list. It's him writing the last chapter of his book," said Triple H during the SummerSlam post-show panel. "One of the very first things I said to [Cena] is, 'Who do you want? And how?' and we're working through that." To preserve the shock factor, WWE went to extreme lengths to keep the comeback secret. Lesnar was flown into a private airport a day before the event and hidden at the venue. Even WWE writers and producers were kept in the dark. The company canceled its usual post-event press conference to avoid tough questions. Reports suggest WWE's legal team cleared Lesnar four weeks before the event. Could Vince McMahon find his way back after Brock Lesnar? Brock Lesnar's return is also raising a more uncomfortable question. Is this a prelude to Vince McMahon testing the waters for his own comeback? McMahon resigned from all WWE and TKO roles in early 2024, following the original filing of Grant's lawsuit. Public trust is fragile. WWE risks undermining its credibility if it treats such serious allegations as minor PR hurdles. While Lesnar himself has not addressed the lawsuit, and no s*xual contact is alleged to have occurred, his involvement in the narrative has already fractured the fanbase. If WWE were to extend the same treatment to McMahon, the blowback could be far more severe. Also Read: Brock Lesnar ends speculation, returns to SummerSlam 2025 to F5 John Cena McMahon's WWE return chances are slim to none at this stage as his case in the lawsuit is far more intense and complicated than Lesnar's. So, it is fair to assume that WWE or TKO would not risk a PR nightmare by putting McMahon back on the throne, especially when WWE is thriving.
