In a dramatic climax to the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, former Indian cricket coach Gary Kirsten praised Gautam Gambhir and his team's effort in England. With a nail-biting finish at The Oval, India's squad leveled the series 2-2, putting on a display of nerves and skill.
Against daunting odds, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna turned the tide for India. As Chris Woakes persisted with a shoulder injury, Gus Atkinson reduced England's requirement to a mere seven runs with one wicket remaining. Siraj's decisive yorker against Atkinson sealed the draw, sending the Indian side into euphoric celebrations led by an energetic Siraj.
In scenes of jubilation, Gambhir and his team shared heartfelt moments, marking a victory lap around The Oval. Kirsten applauded their achievement, noting India's robust sports culture and expressing his admiration for their development and education systems, acknowledging lessons South Africa could learn from them.
