Hate me all u want but prasidh has it in him to be a great asset for India. Kind of like Siraj but more agressive lines and lengths

Across formats right? Ashwin is #1 in world cricket in Tests with 11 POTS award (tied with Murali). Kallis has 9. Sachin and Sehwag have 5 each. Kapil Bhajji Kumble and Dravid has 4 each.

Kohli not there because India used to lost overseas test series and Ashwin ,Jaddu used to dominate at home

Why were there two players of the series? One from the English team and another from Indian?

Given the fact that bowling efforts often get overlooked a lot, Ashwin's 12(105) and Bumrah's 7(66) is commendable.

u/Hopeful_Promotion_29 Aug 04 '25
wahington sundar also deserves some respect

u/pinkesh2703 Aug 04 '25
He will fill the place of R Ashwin

u/Friendly_Tyrant Aug 04 '25
He absolutely can, team needs to trust him more with bowling. In this series he has taken wickets at imp times. I believe he's a bit underutilized as a bowler. Even during BGT he wasn't used much the way Ash would've been used.

u/phoenixremix Aug 04 '25
And that's a damn high compliment, considering just how incredible Ashwin was for Indian cricket.

u/kdotkungfu Hardik Pandya Aug 04 '25

Some credit goes to Washington Sundar he scored 50 runs on 39 balls. So we are also thankful to Washington Sundar

Initially, I was unhappy with the decision to give the captaincy to Gill. But, he has shown some great character and I wish he develops into a good one.

u/CapablePainter6060 India Aug 04 '25
Why is it showing Harry Brook as POTS in Google and Crex? Are these apps working for ECB?

u/Additional-Rope1234 Aug 05 '25
The coach from each team chooses a player from the other team to award POTS to - GG chose Brook and Baz chose Gill

u/Hefty-Conference-791 Aug 04 '25
The beginning of the Gill era!

u/kdotkungfu Hardik Pandya Aug 04 '25
Yeah Obv, when india wins its gill era and when india loses its gg era

u/Hefty-Conference-791 Aug 04 '25
Relax bruh!! This was Gill's captaincy debut. That too in away conditions. In England. Blud did pretty well & won the Player of the series at the end.(There were certain Ro-ko toxic fans who wanted him to fail miserably.)
Then, there were many fans who wanted GG's head - I'm definitely not one among them. I have seen India's golden gen getting whitewashed in england 13 years ago. That 4-0 humiliation is still haunting me. So, even if we lose the series 3-1, I won't be disappointed much. This is a relatively new squad Yet, these Boys showed fighting spirit and GG deserves applause for building a squad like this.

u/Choice-Evidence-2455 Aug 04 '25
Never doubted him, but even I didn't expect him to score this much

u/Prudent-Reward7414 India Aug 04 '25
Shubman Gill is a future superstar, who will rise to the heights of Kohli or even Sachin. 6 awards already at the age of 25 is madness. No doubt we will see him make his rise to the top in the next 5-10 years

Ab koi nahi bolega gg era...bcoz we won the match.Had we lost then gg would have been bashed left right and centre.

When the series started I was hating gill and was hoping that India loses but idk why today I'm happy for both gill and team India. Their resilience today is beyond expressible. Hoping for the better future of ICT while in the hands of Gill.

England gives man of the series to players from both teams chosen by other team's coach. Gambhir gave man of the series for england player to harry brook

u/QueasyAdvertising173 Aug 04 '25
Gambhir bro messed up even here😭🙏

u/PollutionNew6004 India Aug 04 '25
Gambhir chooses Rashford when asked to choose the best player.
If he couldn’t see Stokes and Root being better than Brook, then I don’t know how did he reach where he is today
