For Gill, this victory held deeper significance. 'We have worked very hard to be in this position. Over the past six to eight months, I know how hard it was to get a Test win, especially to do it here where we hadn't won a Test ever.
"I just want to say I'm very proud of everyone.
On Day One, we mentioned it was going to take each and every one of us to win a Test in this country, and everyone contributed.

"This is something that I would cherish for the rest of my life, probably whenever I would retire, I think this would be one of my most happiest memories
While his own double century and Akash Deep's ten-wicket haul will be remembered, Gill revealed the moment he would treasure the most. 'But the most special thing for me in this Test match was Siraj's catch on the final day,' he said, highlighting how simple moments of brilliance can define an unforgettable team victory.
The series is locked at 1-1 and the third Test will be played at Lord's, starting from Thursday.

"I'm the Achilles guy": Kevin Durant shares his insight on injury with NBA superstars like Jayson Tatum and Damian Lillard
Kevin Durant (Image via Jerome Miron/Imagn Images) If anyone knows how to make a comeback after a potentially career-altering injury, it's the newest acquisition of the Houston Rockets, Kevin Durant. The power forward suffered from a ruptured right Achilles tendon while he was with the Golden State Warriors during the 2019 NBA Finals. His injury led to a lot of speculation, and many believed that it was the end of KD in the NBA. But he proved everyone wrong, and returned to full strength in the next season, and has since proved that if you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything. And that is exactly what he shared with players like Jayson Tatum and Damian Lillard, both of whom are suffering from similar injuries currently. Kevin Durant was approached by Jayson Tatum and Damian Lillard after injury Jayson Tatum sustained a ruptured Achilles during the Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Knicks. Thankfully, the Boston Celtics star was able to undergo surgery the very next day and is currently in rehab, getting back to playing condition. Damian Lillard also suffered from a similar injury after tearing his Achilles tendon during the Milwaukee Bucks' postseason run this year. He, too, is in rehab currently and is most likely to miss most, if not all, of the 2025-2026 season. And at such trying times, both these players have turned to someone who has already gone through a similar phase in their career - Kevin Durant. Jayson Tatum and Damian Lillard (Image via X) KD recently appeared on the Mind the Game podcast alongside LeBron James and host Steve Nash, where he revealed that both Tatum and Lillard had been in contact with him since their injuries. He joked that he had become the 'Achilles guy' since his injury, and now a lot of players turn to him for advice. He said: 'Of course, you know JT and Dame hit me up — I feel like I'm the Achilles guy. I feel like a lot of guys have bounced back and become themselves again. Mine is the most popular, but I feel like a lot of guys have bounced back that I took inspiration from when I was going through my journey.' "I feel like I'm the Achilles guy." 😅 #kevindurant #injury #nba #shorts Back then, Kevin Durant's injury grabbed a lot of attention, and many believed that his injury would lead to the end of his career. But it's been 5 years since he came back, and he has made 5 consecutive All-Star appearances, and is not looking to stop anytime soon. Lillard is also currently in a similar position, with him being waived by the Bucks, and now he is in free agency. With him being absent for most of the upcoming season, the chances of him making a comeback are slim. But the veteran player is not ready to give up yet, and fans will be rooting for him to come back to court once he is fully recovered.

Chris Paul could take on key bench role if Milwaukee Bucks sign future Hall of Famer
Chris Paul is in San Antonio Spurs (Image via Getty Images) According to recent rumours, San Antonio Spurs ' Chris Paul could soon be signed by the Milwaukee Bucks. When assessing the circumstances, the Milwaukee Journal claimed that it believes that if the NBA player were to join the team, it'd be practically guaranteed that he'd be a starter. Over the previous few years, the team from Milwaukee has occasionally appeared to be among the NBA's less attractive teams, according to Sporting News. Chris Paul would at least be able to help them change the status. Chris Paul could start for the Milwaukee Bucks if signed, as the team eyes veteran leadership Chris Paul is one of the most respected point guards in NBA history and a future Hall of Famer. Meanwhile, the Milwaukee Bucks took the risky decision to stretch and waive Damian Lillard at the start of free agency. It allocated the more than $100 million remaining on his deal over five years instead of the two that he had originally been contracted to get. — BucksShowYo (@BucksShowYo) On the other hand, Bleacher Report's Rik Beaston thinks Chris Paul would be a good fit for the squad because of their positional need. In a piece published on BR, he wrote: "If Paul decides to return to the court, and he signs with Milwaukee, he has the potential to be a playoff difference-maker for a team that has championship aspirations.' He continued: "He no longer has to be the guy but, rather, a complement to that player, and in a wide-open Eastern Conference rocked by a rash of torn Achilles during the playoffs that will keep stars Jayson Tatum and Tyrese Haliburton out for the entirety of next season, a Paul-assisted Bucks team would have a real opportunity to climb back into the title hunt.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Pieces of Clothing you should Ditch over 40 Learn More Undo He further added: 'Considering the frustrations its star player has experienced over the last year, and questions about the organization's championship window closing, it is a move that must be made in order to preserve the possibility that Giannis and Co. can secure a second Larry O'Brien Trophy." Chris Paul might join Milwaukee Bucks (Image via Getty Images) Meanwhile, stating the news, the Milwaukee Journal wrote: 'If he were to sign, I'm sure we'd have to get some clarity on the relationship between Paul and Giannis Antetokounmpo, particularly about their heated verbal on-court altercation during and after the Bucks' loss to San Antonio on Jan. 31.' In the end, if the Milwaukee Bucks signs Chris Paul, it could be a smart move. He may not be a star anymore, but his experience, leadership, and skills could help the team take another step toward an NBA championship.
