Overview

  • He reflected on a three-Test stint that included a 10-wicket haul at Birmingham, a crucial 66 at The Oval, and series returns of 13 wickets and a half-century in India’s 2–2 draw.
  • He described unexpectedly benign English pitches with little swing or seam and said he focused on hitting the right areas rather than overthinking conditions.
  • He praised bowling coach Morne Morkel for a simple, individualized approach centered on small technical tweaks.
  • He characterized Gill’s captaincy as calm and non-impulsive and said Gambhir’s messages elevated his self-belief.
  • He called Jasprit Bumrah a match-winning seamer, lauded Mohammed Siraj’s sustained intensity across the series, and said he will return for the West Indies home Tests in October.
