The five-match Test series between England and India witnessed drama of the highest order as the excitement picked up, and the series ended up in a dramatic draw. In his debut series as captain, Shubman Gill led a young Indian side with grit and intent, carving a bold new chapter of dominance in the longest format.

Meanwhile, a mysterious tweet from Irfan Pathan has sparked discussion during the transition. Fans are now wondering if the former all-rounder indirectly took a jibe at Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. 

Did Irfan Pathan Slam Rohit And Kohli Fans?

As Team India entered into their new WTC cycle with the recently ended Test series against England, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s sudden retirement from the longest format stunned the cricket world. Questions swirled about who would step up to fill their massive shoes. But the young Indian side answered with grit and heart, silencing doubters and fighting their way to a hard-earned series draw against England.

After a dramatic 6-run victory at the Oval, the cricket world came together to praise Team India's new beginning. As cricket fans were celebrating the moment, former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan’s cryptic tweet raised eyebrows.

After the match ended, Pathan posted, "This series reminds everyone once again. CRICKET DOESN'T STOP FOR ANYONE." After that, many fans saw the post as a subtle swipe at Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma for stepping away from Test cricket ahead of the series.

Shubman Gill’s Era Takes Off

Stepping into Rohit Sharma's show while leading the country in the longest format was not easy for young Shubman Gill, but in the recently ended Test series, Gill has proved his worth. Leading the side with unreal brilliance, his bat rose high whenever the team needed him. 

Starting the series with a five-wicket defeat, Team India bounced back in the second Test. With a series of highs and lows, they faced England in the fifth Test as the series was hanging 2-2. Battling with setbacks, India delivered a stunning performance on the last day to clinch a dramatic 6-run win, bringing the inaugural Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy to an intense draw.
