Talk of Indian captain Shubman Gill
Indian captain Shubman Gill said after the match-
Both teams performed well. Every match reached the last day, which shows the performance of both teams. When the bowlers like Siraj-famous are bowling, there is no need to worry too much as captain. Both know how to act the ball.
Gill said-
We knew that there is pressure in the camp of England and we came with the same thinking that the pressure from them should not be reduced. I am happy with this performance and I worked hard before this series. It was about to improve both mental and technical and both things are connected to each other.
KL Rahul talk
Indian opener KL Rahul said on this draw series-
Drew the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2–2 in England will be at the top of India’s Test cricket achievement.
Rahul said-
No one expected our team in this series, but we fought in every match and finally got the result of 2-2. Even though it seemed a draw, it will be at the top for us and for the future of Indian Test cricket. This is where the change starts and the Indian Test team is going to win many more series abroad later.
Talk of English captain Ben Stokes
England captain Ben Stokes said after the defeat-
We did not want this result, we wanted to win the series. Everyone is very desperate and disappointed. It has been difficult for me not to play games. England-India series is always special. Everyone comes to represent their country. When one of your bowlers decreases at the beginning of the match, pressure and responsibility on other bowlers increases.
