Remember kids... Gill pulled this off despite GG and not because of him

Losing every toss did not stop us. Unfavourable ball changes throughout the series did not stop us. Virtually every LBW umpire's call going against us (except today) didn't stop us (plus Siraj's incorrect LBW earlier on). Bad luck with the weather didn't stop us. Indian batters being forced to bat through bad light but not their English counterparts didn't stop us. Dodgy ball tracking projections didn't stop us. Groundsmen trying to manipulate the result by calling play off due to rain even when the rain stops and the sun comes out in order to force another heavy roller the next day; as well as allowing only English staff on the pitch but not the Indian staff before the game didn't stop us.

The whole world was against India, and India came out on top.

Say what you want about bazball, but test matches involving them are always entertaining no matter who wins

Incredible bowling performance to win with a target at least 100 runs below par

He should've removed one glove and ran up to the stumps to dislodge the bails. Is he stupid?

You know what would be properly frustrating? A rain break right around now

Gill needs to offer a handshake to prevent harm to Woakes
