Team India put together an excellent effort on Day Five of the fifth Test at The Oval as they won the match by six runs and drew the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025, 2-2.
Head coach Gautam Gambhir, who was under scrutiny regarding the team’s performance in the red-ball format since his arrival, now breathes a sigh of relief and believes this win was only possible because of the collective effort shown by the team.
In a recent video posted by the BCCI, Gambhir said that the team rose to the occasion and met expectations, making them deserving winners of The Oval Test.
“It’s going to be the ideology of this Test team, where it won’t be about individual-centric, it will be about the team. The way the boys have fought. I’ve always been a big believer that you should always get what you deserve, not what you want. And I think the guys deserved it,” he said.
