New Delhi: Gautam Gambhir’s situation in England reminds me of that song from the movie ‘Kashmir Ki Kali’ – ‘Deewana hua paagal, saavan ki ghata chaayi, ye dekh ke dil jhuma, li pyaar ne angdayi’. After what happened on the Oval ground in the month of Sawan, Indian cricket fan Gautam Gambhir danced as if he had gone mad. In the Oval Test, amid the changing conditions, the love of cricket fans also stretched a lot. But, the way that exciting Test ended, Gautam Gambhir climbed into her lap. What was the state of happiness of her husband, his wife Natasha herself told about it after the match.
Gautam Gambhir was so overwhelmed with the joy of Team India’s victory that he climbed on the lap of the head coach while celebrating. This celebration of head coach Gambhir took place in the dressing room, where he danced, swayed and hugged everyone. But as soon as the team’s bowling coach Morne Morkel came in front of him, he climbed on his lap while celebrating. As soon as Siraj took the last wicket on the field, this atmosphere of celebration was seen in the dressing room, the video of which is now viral.
For Gautam Gambhir, the victory at the Oval, the happiness, the series being drawn, all mean a lot. Because, it had a connection with him and his fans, the fans of Indian cricket. The victory in the Oval Test is only the third Test win for India under Gautam Gambhir’s coaching. Team India has lost 8 Tests so far under his coaching. And, perhaps this is the reason why winning at the Oval was even more important for him.
What does winning the Oval Test mean for Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir? Why did he jump on Morne Morkel’s lap in joy? This can be known from his wife Natasha’s description of his state of mind. Gautam Gambhir’s wife Natasha has shared an Instagram story in which she has written that this is a victory of her confidence. For her, the match was not over until it was completely over.
What wife Natasha said can be easily guessed from Gautam Gambhir’s expressions seen in the dressing room video.
