The joy of Gautam Gambhir after India’s win at the Oval test was palpable, leading to an exuberant celebration. The moment brought to mind a line from the film ‘Kashmir Ki Kali’, capturing the euphoria. Cricket fans were equally swept up in the changing fortunes of the match. Following the dramatic end to the test, Gambhir was seen celebrating with immense joy, even being lifted up in celebration. His wife, Natasha, shared insights into her husband’s elation after the match.
Gambhir’s celebration saw him lifted up in a moment of pure joy. The head coach’s celebration took place in the dressing room, where he danced, embraced, and mingled with everyone. As bowling coach Morne Morkel approached, Gambhir celebrated by being lifted up. The video of this joyous scene in the dressing room, captured after Siraj’s final wicket, has now gone viral.
The Oval victory held significant importance for Gautam Gambhir, as did the series draw. It was deeply connected to his supporters and Indian cricket fans. Under his coaching, the team secured only its third test win at the Oval. The team had lost 8 tests under his coaching, which might have made the Oval victory even more important for him.
Natasha, Gautam Gambhir’s wife, shared an Instagram story that revealed the victory was a result of their belief. For her, the match wasn’t over until it was completely over. The dressing room video, showing Gambhir’s expressions, mirrored the sentiments shared by Natasha.
