 "Karun Nair reveals inside story of India-England dressing room celebration after thrilling Test series: 'Both teams were respectful'")
The recently concluded India vs England Test series had its fair share of controversies as players from both teams never missed an opportunity to gain some psychological edge, but it all ended with a friendly celebration in the England dressing room . India batter Karun Nair, who was a part of the conversation, has now revealed a bit of what happened when the Indian cricket team visited its opposing team’s locker room.
It has been a long-standing tradition in England that no matter how bloody and brutal a Test series is, the players later catch up in the home team’s dressing room at the end of the series, leaving rivalries on the pitch and forming a new friendly bond.
The India-England series also witnessed some highly-charged moments, which began with the verbal spat between England opener Zak Crawley and India captain Shubman Gill in the third Test at Lord’s. Later, Ben Duckett and Akash Deep were seen sharing some banter, Joe Root seemed upset with Prasidh Krishna, and who can forget the handshake drama between England skipper Ben Stokes and Ravindra Jadeja.
Karun Nair spills the beans on IND-ENG dressing room celebration
Making a return to the Indian team after a gap of eight years in England, Nair shared how Team India celebrated the sensational win at the Oval by six runs as they drew the series 2-2 in the final match. The Karnataka batter revealed that despite a memorable win at the Oval, Team India had a simple celebration before leaving for the England dressing room.
“Not really. We didn’t overdo anything,” Nair told ESPNCricinfo. He added that the celebrations “weren’t as much as people think.”
Talking about what transpired in the England dressing room, Nair said that players from both teams had respectful conduct towards each other as they shared their stories. He added that England coach Brendon McCullum called the series one of the greatest in “recent memory.”
