The intense five-match Test series between India and England concluded on Monday, August 4, ending in a thrilling 2-2 draw. Shubman Gill and his teammates secured a dramatic six-run victory in the final Test at The Oval, London.
The series was a roller-coaster, with England taking a 2-1 lead by winning two of the first three matches. However, India staged an impressive comeback by drawing the fourth Test and clinching the final match to level the series.
Shubman Gill and Mohammed Siraj stood out for India throughout the series. Gill was the top run-scorer with 754 runs and earned the Player of the Series award, while Siraj claimed the most wickets with 23, playing a key role in India’s wins at Edgbaston and The Oval
India’s white-ball series against Bangladesh, originally planned for August, has been postponed.
