During the press conference, after The Oval Test, where India won a thriller by a 6-run margin, skipper Shubman Gill and Mohammed Siraj shared a hilarious fact behind Chris Woakes' missed run-out opportunity, which led Siraj to fume over the keeper, Dhruv Jurel. Gill and Siraj informed them that they made a plan to trap Woakes and England through a wide yorker.

To accomplish the blueprint, they had to communicate with Jurel too. Before Shubman discussed their plan with Dhruv, Siraj started to run, and Gill found no time to tell Jurel about the plan. According to the discussion with the captain, the pacer delivered a wide yorker, which the batter on strike failed to connect with, and went to steal a bye.

Jurel, with both gloves on hand, did not get the chance on time to throw the ball to the wicket. India missed the opportunity to run out Chris Woakes, whose left arm was tucked in a sling inside the sweater. If Gill had informed Jurel about their plan, the keeper would have kept one palm without a glove so that he could pick the ball with quickness. When they failed to utilize their plan, Siraj asked Gill, "Nahi bola tu? (You didn't tell him?)"

It was fortunate for Team India that the missed run-out opportunity did not harm them, as they eventually went on to win the match. Mohammed Siraj produced his career-best Test figure in the process by taking a total of 9 wickets; 5 came in the second innings, and in total, he wrapped up by leading the wickets column by scalping 23 wickets in nine innings.

Shubman Gill, the newly appointed captain, emerged as the leading run-getter of the series for scoring 754 runs in 10 innings.
