Team India etched a memorable chapter in cricket history at The Oval, clinching a nail-biting six-run victory over England in the fifth and final Test. It was a day of relentless pressure and tenacity by pacers Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna that led to this extraordinary triumph.
As the fifth day unraveled, England needed merely 35 more runs to chase down a daunting target of 374. However, India's pace attack was unyielding. Siraj claimed a crucial five-wicket haul while Krishna offered substantial support with four wickets, halting England just six shy of their goal.
This remarkable win outstrips India's previous narrowest margin of victory, a 13-run defeat against Australia in 2004. It also marks India's first win in the deciding fifth match of a Test series abroad. With the series tied 2-2, the Shubman Gill era in Indian cricket begins with promise and potential. (ANI)
