"Test cricket needs a certain amount of balance."
England, and Stokes in particular, have shown huge faith in Shoaib Bashir, a 21-year-old off-spinner unable to hold down a regular place in a county side but who has now taken 68 wickets in 19 Tests at 39.
Bangladesh are placed fifth, with just four points and a points percentage of 16.67%.
"There are moments like this when you feel the journey is worth it," Gill said at the post-match press conference.
"People keep asking if Test cricket will survive, but what we saw over these five games is the answer."
Fast bowler Mohammed Siraj was India's hero.
The fifth and final Test of the enthralling five-match series between England and India will reach its climax on Monday.
The seasoned England batter, featuring in his 69th Test, is now the leading run-getter in WTC history, having participated in all four editions of the tournament.
Jadeja also became just the second visiting player after Sobers to record 1,000-plus runs and 30-plus wickets in Tests played in England.
