The 2025 Test series between India and England has etched its place in cricketing history as a gripping and record-setting five-match battle that concluded in a dramatic 2-2 draw. The event, known as the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, was characterized by high drama and exceptional performances, underscoring the astonishing level of competition over the weeks, according to Wisden. India's triumph at The Oval was not merely a hard-won victory; it marked a historic moment. Securing a six-run victory, India registered its narrowest win in Test history by runs, surpassing their previous record against Australia in 2004.
The series finale at The Oval saw Mohammed Siraj emerge as the match-defining hero, securing the final wicket and topping the charts with 23 wickets in the series. Siraj's 9/190 at The Oval was the best by an Indian on that ground, breaking long-standing records. Alongside Prasidh Krishna, Josh Tongue, and Gus Atkinson, Siraj's exceptional performance resulted in a unique instance of four bowlers claiming eight or more wickets in a single Test at The Oval for the first time in history. Their collective effort delivered a historic performance where India's pacers dominated, as they claimed all English wickets in the last innings.
In the batting department, Shubman Gill shone with the bat, accumulating 754 runs, breaking Garry Sobers' record for the most runs by a touring captain in a Test series. Gill's remarkable achievement is second only to Don Bradman's record. The 2025 series wasn't just about individual brilliance but was a record-breaker for run totals and centuries. A record 7,187 runs were scored, surpassing previous series records, cementing its place in cricketing history.
