The discussion started after Pant’s injury and people in the cricket world had different opinions. India’s coach Gautam Gambhir felt…

Karthik said that initially after the 4th day of play, Brendon McCullum, the England coach, was favouring Shubman Gill for the award. McCullum apparently told Mike Atherton, the English broadcaster who was going to host the presentation, that Gill would be the man of the series if the match ended on Day 4. Preparations were already in place, including questions for Gill. On Cricbuzz, Karthik said if the match had ended on…

Overall it was a series for the record books with Indian batters leading the way and bowlers proving their worth. Let’s look at what happened over the last month and a half.
