Emotions Run High! Tearful Gautam Gambhir Hugs Morkel, Leads Dressing Room Celebrations After Oval Test Victory | Watch

India vs England 5th Test: India coach Gautam Gambhir, usually known for his calm behaviour inside the dressing room, shed his stoic persona as he smiled, letting his emotions take over, which sparked wild celebrations in the dressing room after India scripted a sensational series-levelling victory at The Oval against England.

The thousands of Oval spectators were at the edge of their seats with the tension inside brewing as Jamie Overton hit back-to-back boundaries to get England rolling. However, the momentum was quickly shifted when Mohammed Siraj delivered a stunning spell, dismissing Jamie Smith and then Overton in quick succession.

The 'kiss of death' was delivered by Prasidh Krishna, who shattered Josh Tongue's stumps, leaving India just one wicket shy of miraculous victory.
