Danish Kaneria: Former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria was in full praise of India's 'unbelievable' Test win against England at The Oval to level the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2-2. The veteran also credited young captain Shubman Gill for leading from the front and carrying the team on his shoulders in the absence of senior batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
Gill has not only shown his tactical brilliance but also contributed hugely on the batting front. He finished the five-Test series as the highest run-getter with 754 runs, including four centuries. He was named as India's Player of the Series, adjudicated by England head coach Brendon McCullum.
"Incredible, Test cricket at its best. Nothing matches the level of Test cricket. It is a test of physical and mental toughness of players across five days. I think it was an unbelievable performance from Team India. Nobody thought a young team without Rohit and Virat against England, under Shubman Gill's leadership, would perform like this. He carried the team on his shoulders and scored more than 700 runs in the series," Kaneria told IANS.
