From Setback To Comeback! Mohammed Siraj’s Helps India level The Series 2-2 Against England News24 –

The oval match became one of the most interesting and thrilling matches in the history of Test cricket, in which India bounced back from the brink of defeat to register a historic win. Mohammed Siraj’s charismatic bowling on the last day helped India beat England by just 6 runs at The Oval. With this thrilling win, the series was leveled at 2-2 and India retained the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.

The final Test match between India and England became historic as it resulted in the narrowest victory in the history of Test cricket.

On the last day, England needed only 35 runs to win, and they had three wickets left, which made it seem that victory was close to them. But Siraj bowled a brilliant spell and took three important wickets on the last day, including Woakes, Atkinson, and changed the picture of the match.

Fast bowler Mohammad Siraj, who played five consecutive Test matches, performed the best in the last Test. After the match, Siraj said, “I tried to stick to the plan made earlier and implemented the same strategy on the fifth day today. I did not think that dropping Brook’s catch would change the picture of the game so much, but he batted brilliantly and put us under pressure. The conditions were not easy, but I am happy that we won the match. I am sure that no matter what the conditions are, I can make my team win. I believe in myself and I never give up.” Siraj took a total of 9 wickets in the Kennington Oval Test, out of which he took 3 wickets on the last day. Siraj bowled over 180 overs in the 5 match test series.

Prasidh Krishna also contributed a lot to Siraj’s performance. He took four wickets in the innings, and on the fourth day late in the evening, he dismissed set batsmen like Joe Root and Harry Brook and halted England’s victory pace. With these setbacks, the English innings started falling apart.

By the fourth day, it seemed that India was heading towards defeat. Root and Brook were moving towards the target with ease. But the Indian fast bowlers’ tremendous comeback in the final session and then Siraj’s brilliance on the fifth day completely turned the game around.

Another special aspect of this victory was Shubman Gill’s captaincy. This was the first time he led India in an entire Test series. Despite heavy pressure, he used the bowlers calmly and strategically and led the team to a great comeback.

England’s final innings ended at 367, which became a symbol of how close they were to victory, and then how quickly they fell. After 6 wickets for 331, they lost four wickets in the next 36 runs, this was the result of India’s pressure.

The series was tied 2-2, but India emerged psychologically stronger. They did not let England win the series at home and showed that they can win matches even in difficult conditions.

This match played at The Oval will remain a memorable example for cricket lovers of the depth, excitement of Test cricket and the growing influence of Mohammed Siraj.

Despite England having earlier led the series 2-1, this final Test saw India bounce back strongly. The result not only salvaged pride for the visitors but also highlighted the depth and promise within the young Indian squad, even in the absence of several senior players.
