After India defeated England in the second Test, former KKR wicketkeeper-batter Manvinder Bisla took to X and wrote, "Before the Test: Gautam Gambhir messed up the XI. After the win: Shubman Gill era begins." "Narratives change faster than the scorecard," he stated. Bisla further called the duo "leaders", adding, "Credit goes to the whole team for this famous win."
