Gautam Gambhir is not someone who shows emotions easily. He is usually serious, even when the team wins. But after India’s close 6-run win over England at The Oval, Gambhir could not stop himself from showing how much it meant to him.
Gautam Gambhir’s Emotions Take Over After Big Win
When Mohammed Siraj got the last wicket, Gambhir jumped into bowling coach Morne Morkel’s arms. He shouted with joy and looked very happy. In a video shared by BCCI, he looked like a different person—full of emotions and excitement.
Later in the video, Gautam Gambhir had tears in his eyes. It was a very touching moment. He has always been calm and quiet, but this win was so special that he could not hold back his feelings.

The game became very close in the end. England needed only seven runs, with one wicket left. Chris Woakes, who had a shoulder injury, was at the non-striker’s end. Gus Atkinson was the last man trying to win it for England.
Gautam Gambhir looked out the window and gave some advice to his team. Siraj was bowling with full energy. He bowled a fast yorker, and it hit the stumps. That moment gave India the win and made the whole team celebrate loudly.

This win was important for Gambhir. Since the New Zealand series at home last year, things had not gone well for India. With a home series against the West Indies coming up, he will hope the team keeps doing well and builds on this big win.
