IND beat ENG at Oval – Ganguly, Sehwag hails India: With the conditions good enough for batting, England openers got off to a decent start, with both scoring fifties. However, Shardul came into the attack and got rid of Burns in his first over of day 5.
Shardul Thakur, who was part of the Indian quartet in scoring more than 50 runs in the second innings, again dazzled as he sent back Joe Root to the pavilion. Hosts were still in the game until just after lunch on Day 5 when Jasprit Bumrah produced a glorious spell to give India a real shot at victory.
“This is a very special Test Match win. After being 127/7 on the first day, not many teams can make a comeback and win a away test the way Team India have done. That is why this is a very special Indian Team. Congratulations to everyone for playing their part in a memorable win,” wrote VVS Laxman.

“What an amazing win team India @BCCI against @ECB_cricket. Perfect team play under @imVkohli. The way team came back from down under in 1st innings makes it very special and would be etched in history as one of the finest test wins. Well played boys !” Treasurer of BCCI, Thakur Arun Singh tweeted.
India now leads the series 2-1 and will go to Manchester full of confidence.
As “spectators” of Test Cricket, just stop worrying about team selection and other nonsense and start appreciating the competition, passion, skill and patriotism unfolding in front of your eyes. You’re missing a good game!
