Regarding the play of the team India test captain Gill, Yuvraj stated that it was an amazing captaincy by Shubman Gill and he batted really well. I am extremely proud of him and I am sure his father will also be extremely proud...I am extremely impressed...I hope he will continue to make a lot of centuries in international cricket.
The highlights of a total teamwork were a historic outing by skipper Shubman Gill with the bat and a ten-wicket haul by pacer Akash Deep as India broke the winless streak at Birmingham with a 336-run win over England during the second Test on the final day on Sunday.

Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep bowled wonderful. Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant batted well...I am also very happy about Akash Deep since his sister is back to health after fighting cancer. I shall hug him enormous when I see him. (ANI)
