Since the inception of the World Test Championship, the importance of points has been a major issue. And these points depend on over-rates too. On the final day at the Oval, the India management was informed by match referee Jeff Crowe that they are six overs behind the required over rate. But the Indian Head Coach Gautam Gambhir sticks with the idea of sacrificing points but never a win. According to a report from Dainik Jagran, Crowe passed the warning to the dressing room before Day 5 started. The Indian team even had a meeting featuring Gambhir, captain Shubman Gill, assistant coach Sitangshu Kotak and others. The initial thought was to make Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja bowl a few overs to match the count. However, Gambhir was stubborn. He was ready to lose four points, but he will not compromise with the nearing victory. And captain Gill backed Gambhir's view. Moreover, England was just 35 runs behind from the victory. Jamie Smith and Jamie Overton were on the crease and had spent enough time to hit the spinners on the next day. Without risking the situation, Gill unleashes Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj from two ends. Read also: Different Types of Bowling in Cricket India won the Test by 6 runs.
