Speaking after the victory, a compassion so far proud Gill said, “Especially when you are captain, I think you need to lead for example … So whenever there is another player in that situation, you can tell the player, this is what the team needs now.”He said, “If a good ball takes me out, it makes me out. But as long as I am there, I want to play for a long time as long as possible.”Paes Duo Mohammad Siraj and Akash Deep played an important role in the fall of England, while Gill’s leadership – under the addition of Rohit Sharma’s success and filling Virat Kohli’s number 4 slot, indicated a new era in Indian Test cricket.The third test begins at Lord’s on 10 July, where Gill’s India will now look at the tide to advance in their favor.
