Congratulations to India on a moral victory for this series

Winning a 2 match test series is nothing in comparison to 5 match test series. Guess your garbage team which hasn't won a test match in India & Australia even once since 1982 hasn't even played in a 5 match series:misbah
Funniest thing is when a minnow team fan always have to use other team examples. Sri Lanka did this, pakistan did that.

Imagine if india was going after Australia or England like this, but south africa just defeated you, so what if we lost?

What on earth does other teams defeating other teams have to do with it, when my own team is a minnow.

Next what, Indian team and fans will be lectured by UAE and USA fans?

Anyone can support any team. Their is no compulsion.

You guys need to get out of this habit of tying people down. First figure out your own nationality which goes hard for those indians who renounced their passport to settle in UK, Aus, Canada, USA.

This racism needs to end.
 
Their is no moral victory. Series was drawn. Indians take moral victory in everything including finding ways to view a stampede as a sick sense of victory.

Win, and win without outside factors interfering or pitch tampering and then we shall talk.
OP who spoke about moral victory is a Pakistani. Your trolling gets dumber by the day
 
But who told Bumrah to be a sissy coward? His deprivation is a self-inflicted problem. If you don’t play when you’re not injured, how is it anyone’s problem?
There are many things going behind the scenes. It is not Bumrah's decision. Decision to not play is based on advice of medical staff.

And anyone can mock anyone for their stupid points.

I don't have any issues with any people supporting any team, but it's obvious some trolls just support any teams playing against India just to hate on India.

Its very obvious for anyone with 2 brain cells when someone is genuinely supporting a team like Sri lanka vs using others just to troll and hate.

If you think Bangla fans and that fan in particular supports Sri lanka, I have a bridge to sell you. Don't be so naive in life.

Fans can have an opinion on sport regardless of the output of their own team.

I mean if we were to take this attitude then India couldn't comment on anything during 90s when they were poor from home, or a Sri Lankan couldn't comment on the sport during their initial days, South Africans can't comment on spin bowling since they themselves have never had a spinner?

It's overly restrictive, we should respect a broad range of opinions. The most passionate fan of MS Dhoni is the sadly deceased Dhoni183 who was Pakistan, we have a passionate AB fan who is Indian there are plenty of more examples it's a global game.

I repeat anyone is free to support any team regardless of reason.

Mocking someone directly is in poor taste and believe me as this is something coming from me. You dont need to go into the trolling rabbit hole yourself.

Fair enough! Criticism is fine, but one can find out blind hatred and total trolling... That's when people get irked and target their own team... A South African can criticize Jadeja's spin bowling in overseas, but he cannot mock him and call useless/worthless right? (Then its obvious that someone from India will put that question up... What spinner you have produced? And whether he has done anything at least in your own first class/domestic cricket!)

He should have every right to do it some players are just useless in some conditions.

But yes blind hatred and total trolling + setting unreasonable expectations for a side that you don't set for your own side is something I am not a fan of. As I said in some other thread, there is no way any Pakistani can mock or troll Indian team for drawing overseas, as if we get a draw when we tour next year we would be delighted with a fighting draw too.

In this series, India fought wonderfully well and there is no doubt they should be the happier of the two sides.

I don't like abusing or attacking anyone.

I only attack trolls relentlessly or racists. Please observe the behaviour of some of your indian posters that I have speficially dubbed the 🤡 gang and evaluate why I do what I do yet never seem to argue with other indian posters like kron, bhaag, and some others including you as well who I don't mind.

Indian cricketers do not deserve to be abused as they havent done anything wrong. But degenerate indian posters deserve to be.

If India didn't pretend drawing a series was like winning 10 WCs or winning Kashmir, then they would not be trolled.

The cult only bring it upon themselves.

They they demand humility and respect.

They can bore off.
 
Their is no moral victory. Series was drawn. Indians take moral victory in everything including finding ways to view a stampede as a sick sense of victory.

India retain the trophy after playing in England.. that’s basis for moral victory lol.
@Junaids whatever happened to him
 
Lol an inexperienced Indian team giving sleepless nights to few Commonwealth Pakistanis :yk yeah yeah
 
Six runs away from getting smashed 3-1 and all this chest thumping.

It’s fair enough for their level I suppose.

I seperate the team from the fans.

Team is a likeable bunch. Many of them overcame a lot to get to the top, products of sacrifices and parents hardwork and dedication too.

Some fans are awful yeah.
 
Why is this Ind team considered inexperienced? Most of the players already played quite a few matches or has been around for some time now?

A good achievement considering that even almighty Aussies with Travis Head, Cummins and co. only managed to draw in England because they were saved by the rain

Won't you name the squad for series against Pak in 2016, and in Ashes 2019, 2022 besides England squad against India

I hope things would be self explanatory then and poor Misbah only got to play 4 Tests

No anyone cannot support any team

If you are a Pakistani you support Pakistan. Even if you are of Pakistani origin and were born in uk or aus

Same with Indians born in uk or anywhere for the matter. If your ethnicity is Indian, you support India.

That’s how I feel. You can support the country you were born in but that would be a secondary option aside from the country you are ethnically connected to.

Your opinion means zilch. Their are 10,000+ football fans that support certain teams due to their favourite player being a part of them even if they aren't tied to it.

I met a German folk in UK who loved the way England and NZ play their cricket and England was his favourite team all time. He watched every single cricket game despite being German cause he enjoyed the sport and viewed it as his 2nd favourite after football.

Secondly it is extremely hypocritical to say so when majority of the indians on this forumn left India and renounced their status as Adults and clearly chose to leave since they were selfish and supposedly wanted a better life yet they claim they showcase patriotism.

Nothing irritates me more then a deserter who pretends to still be loyal to their birth country.

They are the scum of the earth.

I don’t desert the place lmao
My parents migrated here the right way. Unlike many. Australia is my home.

Besides no one except aboriginals are real Australians in Australia. So technically everyone need to get the hell out if you put it that way.

But if you are ethnically a Pakistani or Indian, you support that team. Sure you can support Australia but that should always be a secondary option.

Even if I were to live in England, I could never support England. Not even as a secondary team. Australia hell yea. I can support them as my second favourite side. But England would be entirely different due to the history.

This reminds me of some tards supporting a specific team in football because of a player. Happens in cricket team. like kohli says, defect to that country then. Get lost lol. If you like a player from another country and wish to support the team he plays for then go ahead and leave. Don’t live in your country of origin.
There needs to be loyalty.

And also Asian teams lmao. Asian teams are meant to stick with each other. Has to be an Asian block. Just like there is for sena. Yet they don’t as we have too many tards in Asia who just love to get into petty fights due to jealousy and envy. Lack of unity is the reason why Asian block teams are still 3 rd world nations

I generally agree with you. It will be impossible for me to support anyone but Pakistan. It's the same for most Asians in the UK too. Personally even if Pakistan lose 1 thousand matches in a row I would continue to support them. I find it odd when people support random teams, it's why I can't really support a franchise team, because they feel soulless and I have no connection to them.

But everyone is different we can't make sweeping judgement on their motivations. The world is more connected and multicultural.

Disagree.

You can support any team you want. I know Indians tend to be blind nationalists but other nationalities aren't blind like you guys. :inti

I support these teams in cricket --> Australia, South Africa, Pakistan, Afghanistan, England, NZ, Bangladesh, Ireland, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, and Windies. I support 11 Test nations.

You can’t and you shouldn’t

But do as you please. Don’t go back to Bangladesh then. Ever.

Denounce your citizenship.
 
It was not a moral victory for India. It was a moral victory for England. :inti

Without Siraj, India could've lost 0-5.

Wait what, you saying if it wasn't for a Muslim, team India would've been whitewashed?

No wonder Indians are bailing on their team too!

What a dilemma for the cult managed BCCI.

😂😂😂

Bumble and Vaughan said India would be the happier side, they had the best bowler of the series too and best batter of the series.

With stokes England wouldn’t have won a single test since 2018.

Religion lovers btw, India won 2 icc titles recently. Guess what? Both happened without the guy called mo siraj.

So moral of the story is use mo siraj for all test matches as he is good there. But drop him for Ko and finals.
 
India played better cricket in last 2 games. Drawing a series is like punching above thier weight.

But england is a powerful team in flat conditions

So yea good performance. India imo should have won the series

Dominated more

I don't think you can punch above weight for more than 2 tests. They actually dominated ENgland more than in every metric. India absolutely trounced ENgland in 2nd test. Two late order collapses in first test unexpectedly handed the advantage back to England. Then they fixed the lower order. Since then England took total control. Even Lords test INdia should have won easily chasing a meagre total of 192.

Roko played instead of youngster beauties.

Jurel sarfraz should have played all games

Roko playing alone cost us and shami was a massive lose on those pitches


We would have killed Aus like last time if it were a full strength team

Rohit and Kohli was asked to retire because Gambhir didn’t think they had anymore left in the tank.

Similarly, he didn’t select Sarfraz because of concerns over his ability to play overseas.

Jurel not playing was also the management’s decision.

If you don’t select certain players because you see things differently, you can’t say that you weren’t at full strength. It’s a choice that you made.

This only applies to players that you want in the team but are unavailable due to injuries. So the only player you actually missed was Shami, whose fitness concerns stopped him from playing ahead of Krishna. Apart from him, India were with what they consider their first-choice team now.

India were without shami
Jurel dint play all games cause of fat to and kohli who love to hog their spots

Due to politics they could t get rid of these 2 clowns and yes shami was a huge miss cause of injury

Just like 2018 when smith and warner supposedly not playing diminished India’s win so does this win for Australia

Again Australia never beat full strength India since 2014.

I’m not diminishing anything. My point is that you were at full-strength (minus Shami) because you left out available players for tactical reasons.

In hindsight, Kohli shouldn’t have played in Australia, but if India had gone without him and lost, the same fans would have said that Kohli would have scored tons of runs because he likes batting on Australian pitches.

Kohli averages 29 in the last 5 years

Rohit is just trash. Always overrated in test
 
Yuvraj gushes praise on India star after England heroics

The former India all-rounder lauded India’s star batter following his maiden assignment in the five-match series in England.

Yuvraj Singh couldn’t be prouder of his protege and Indian skipper Shubman Gill after he led them to draw a memorable Test series against England.

Yuvraj highlighted how the ICC Men's Player of the Month for July 2025 brushed aside the doubts regarding his overseas batting record, leading the team from the front.

“There were a lot of question marks over his overseas record. The guy became the captain and scored four Test hundreds. It's just unbelievable that when you're given responsibility, how you take it,” Yuvraj said, speaking to ICC Digital on the sidelines of the ‘50 Days To Go’ Women’s Cricket World Cup event.

“So, very proud of them. I certainly feel it's a win for us, although it's a drawn series, because it's a young team. And it's not easy to go and play well in England and prove yourself.”

Gill was named India’s Player of the Series, having amassed a staggering 754 runs, averaging 75.40 from the five Tests, which included four centuries.

Yuvraj also showered praise on all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar for a gutsy, marathon stand to draw the fourth Test in Manchester.

“The moment in the tournament was when India drew the Test series. I've never seen, in a very long time, Washington and Jadeja got hundreds and drew a Test match," he added.

“That speaks volumes. Obviously Jadeja has been there for a long time. But I think Washington Sundar, as a youngster coming into the team, I think it was incredible to do what he did.”

Yuvraj conceded that what made India’s resilient display through the five-Test series all the more remarkable was the fact that they did so in the absence of seasoned veterans in Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.

“I think it's just fantastic because I felt when you have a young team going to England, it's a lot of pressure.

“You're filling the boots of somebody like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, it's not easy. I think the guys took it head-on.”

The drawn series saw Gill and Co share the maiden Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.

I love how Indian fans now pretend that being a Muslim in India, especially in Indian cricket, makes no difference!

Pull the other one.

Maybe Bumrah should follow Siraj's diet if he wants to play 5 Tests in a row.
 
Most would have but not me cause unlike most I am smart

Kohli sucks
Inspite of Bumrah missing 75% of the SCG match Australia could seal the series only in last innings of 5th test. Pant's terrible shot when match was heading for draw. If Bumrah were fully fit on that spicy SCG pitch Australia wasn't chasing anything there. Besides i can't think of any team beating AUstralia in Australia three times in a row. Forget about winning a series, winning a test ,, even drawing a test in Australia has been difficult for some teams for 30 years.

You can support both

Country of origin or ideally the country you are culturally and ethnically connected to.

So it should be Pakistan in your case or India for devadel and me etc

But no other team

Some fodders here are supporting England and nz over their own country etc lol which is shameless. Despicable tbh

Revoke your citizenship then.

Temu boys
 
I was born in u.a.e but no way I would support that turd piece of trash of a country in anything. Only good thing about that desert trash place is money.

Great money. No tax

Earn as much as you can and then leave that backwards country.

Its a shame that we live in a world filled with cyberbullying, Hate crime, and data stealing otherwise id post a selfie kissing my 2 passports(Au and PK) every day and spam it to all indians on this forumn reminding them of my loyalty.

When did I say I dont support Both? And lol at the order shuffling 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Also no, oci =/= Passport. End of story. I refuse to acknowledge these rubbish papers. Show me a Passport end of. Until then silence.
 
We beat England 4-1 at home, then came to England and played a draw series (2-2) and retained the trophy but somehow it’s a moral victory for us.
:facepalm
 
Coming back to the thread

India actually should have won this series as they dominated more sessions.

So India should view this as a missed opportunity but great effort.

2-2 vs a strong bazzball team in their conditions is a great result. Should have done better though.
Missing players don’t help. Of course some newbies as well and quota picks had an effect too.

“I think it's just fantastic because I felt when you have a young team going to England, it's a lot of pressure.

“You're filling the boots of somebody like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, it's not easy. I think the guys took it head-on.”

The drawn series saw Gill and Co share the maiden Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.

India still bleating on about a drawn series?

Oh how low they must aim.

It was a good series and India should have won not drawn but great effort by the young team. But yea tests is the ultimate format. No amount of t20 WC or even odi World Cup will make up for away test series wins.

Granted this was a draw but this was way more satisfying than winning a champions trophy by bashing all teams or even the t20 world cup

T20 World Cup was just a relief to win a icc event after losing in so many finals due to toss and bad selections.

This test series was still riddled with bad selections and poor umpiring plus dropped catches. Yet we came back to draw so it’s a great achievement
