\"MdShubman Gill-led India pulled off a thrilling six-run victory over England \u2013 their narrowest ever in Test history \u2013 in the fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at The Oval, drawing the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy and levelling the series 2-2. Fast bowler Mohammed Siraj starred with a magnificent five-wicket haul, including three on the final day, as England were dismissed for 367 while chasing 374. In a tense finish, Chris Woakes was forced to bat with a dislocated shoulder.<\/p>\n

The newly-instituted Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy delivered high drama throughout, and the fifth Test was no exception. India held their nerve superbly on Monday to secure a famous win in front of a packed Oval crowd.<\/p>\n

The undoubted hero was the valiant Mohammed Siraj, whose spirited spell of 5\/104 sealed a victory for the ages. With 35 runs to defend and four wickets to claim, Siraj took three in 4.1 fiery overs, while Prasidh Krishna (4\/126) claimed the final scalp.<\/p>\n

England captain Ben Stokes, who was sidelined from active play due to injury, acknowledged the intensity of the contest. \u201cDifficult when you can’t participate,\u201d he admitted. \u201cAnother hard-fought game. Both teams have put in so much effort\u2014amazing to be a part of. Bitterly disappointed we couldn’t go over the line but very proud of the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stokes also praised teammate Chris Woakes, who batted despite a dislocated shoulder. \u201cThere was never a question in Woakes’ mind about batting. We’ve had guys go out with broken foots, fingers\u2014just shows what it takes to play for the country,\u201d he said. Reflecting on the broader series, he added, \u201cThe whole series has been awesome. There’s always going to be moments where emotions come out. No one will be going to bed crying about what was said.\u201d<\/p>\n

On his own performance, Stokes was optimistic. \u201cI felt good, happy with how I went with the ball. Hopefully, all the injuries are behind me. Rehab starts now and the big one’s coming in a few months.\u201d<\/p>\n

India\u2019s stand-in captain and Player of the Series, Shubman Gill, echoed the sentiment of mutual respect and intensity. \u201cThe way both teams played was great. Coming into the final days not knowing the result shows both teams brought their A-game,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen you have bowlers like Siraj and Prasidh, captaincy looks easy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gill praised his side\u2019s self-belief under pressure. \u201cWe were confident, even yesterday. We knew they were under pressure and wanted to make sure it stayed that way. Siraj is a captain\u2019s dream\u2014he gave it his all every ball.\u201d<\/p>\n

On being named best batter, Gill said, \u201cIt\u2019s very rewarding. My aim was to be the best batter this series, and getting there is very satisfying. Technically and mentally, it\u2019s always a matter of sorting things out\u2014they\u2019re correlated. One big learning from the last six weeks: we never give up.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Player of the Match, Mohammed Siraj, delivered a stirring account of his mindset and preparation. \u201cI feel amazing because we fought hard from day one till now. My plan was to hit my areas consistently and build pressure\u2014everything from there was a bonus,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen I woke up today, I thought I could do it. I downloaded a picture from Google saying \u2018believe\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reflecting on a crucial dropped catch of Harry Brook, Siraj noted, \u201cI thought the Brook drop was a game-changing moment. If it had been taken, we might not have come out today. But the way he attacked\u2014hats off to him.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also credited teammate Ravindra Jadeja for emotional support after a setback at Lord\u2019s. \u201cJaddu bhai told me to back my defence and remember my dad\u2014and do it for him,\u201d Siraj added.<\/p>\n

The Oval victory marked not just a historic win for India but also a celebration of resilience, belief, and unyielding spirit from both sides in a series that will be remembered for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
