India are happy after holding England to a 2-2 draw in the five-Test series. Now he will return home satisfied.

Till then India was trailing in the series. Victory was the only option for the team in the decisive test. India took the last 7 wickets of England's second innings by spending only 66 runs. India won most of the sessions in the final Test of the series. But England is not lacking either. England have been successful in putting up an impressive performance in the decisive session. Who are the three main characters who play a decisive role in this series? We will analyze this now. 

Gill learning captaincy

Shubman Gill has tackled the toughest job in world cricket. In the end, the Indian team will always have the hope and trust of 1.4 billion fans. Debuting India as one of the greatest captains, Gill shone with the bat.

He is just a few runs short of Sunil Gavaskar's record for most runs in a single series. Gavaskar scored 774 runs in the same series. Gill was selected as India's best player in the series. Gill, 25, replaced veteran Rohit Sharma in May. He averaged just 35 in Test cricket, this time adding 754 runs in the series. It included three hundreds. 

He was 20 runs behind Gavaskar's record against the West Indies in 1971. Everyone has seen the beauty and ease in Gill's batting. His performance at Edgbaston was outstanding. He scored 269 runs in the first innings. Then in the second innings, he was a little aggressive and played a brilliant innings of 161 runs. Gill's performance with the bat on English soil will be remembered for a long time. Gill enjoyed both captaincy and batting. 

Stokes the magical player

Ben Stokes did not play the fifth Test. He was injured in the shoulder. However, the way he played for England proved that the importance of an all-rounder like him in Test cricket remains. This English captain was 34 years old. He is still the mainstay of the English bowling attack. He bowled 140 overs and took 17 wickets at an average of 25.  His contribution from the

bat was also good. When England played a marathon innings of 669 runs at Old Trafford, Stokes contributed 141 runs. In the series against India, it was evident that there was a problem somewhere in the English bowling attack.

Meanwhile, Stokes was the only bowler who could suddenly turn the game in his favor. He has struggled to avoid injury throughout his playing career. Now the essay series is starting in November. The England team does not want to lose a player of his caliber. Fast bowler Jofra Archer is back in the team, but he also played only two Tests.

could not carry much responsibility. England wants to protect him too. Mark Wood played Test cricket after 12 months due to injury. So England need Stokes consistently.

India's main weapon Siraj

Mohammed Siraj finally proved that this player can be a decisive player for India. On the morning of the fifth day at the Oval, he took 3 wickets for 9 runs. This became the basis of India's victory. That is why he was also the 'Player of the Match'. He took 9 wickets for a total of 190 runs. He bowled a total of 185.3 overs by playing all the matches in the entire season.

He got a total of 23 wickets from that. India had already said before the series, another star bowler Jasprit Bumrah will play only three Tests. India lived up to that statement and did not really play the world's top bowler Bumrah in the final Test. But Siraj did not let him feel the lack of his absence. "When I woke up on Monday morning, I thought we were going to win," Siraj later said.
