When the Shubman Gill-led side had won the fifth Test match at the Oval and had leveled the series 2-2, India's star batter Virat Kohli took to his official X account and heaped praises on Siraj.
Great start from Gill
The recently concluded Test series started a new era in the Indian Test team after senior players like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma announced their retirement from the longest format. Gill performed brilliantly both as the batter and the skipper and was also adjudged as the Player of the Series award for his brilliant batting prowess.
