What a dramatic finish to an unforgettable five-match Test series ending 2-2! The fifth Test looked firmly in England's grasp after a sublime partnership between Joe Root and Harry Brook. But once Root departed, England's momentum began to unravel. The match stretched into Day 5 due to rain and bad light interruptions, adding to the tension. And when India needed breakthroughs the most, Mohammed Siraj delivered with fiery spells, turning the tide in India's favour. His relentless pressure was instrumental in breaking key partnerships. Prasidh Krishna also rose to the occasion, claiming four crucial wickets and keeping the pressure on England throughout the innings. In a brave move, Chris Woakes came out to bat despite a shoulder dislocation, showcasing true determination. But England couldn't quite pull off the win, falling short in the final moments. Hats off to both teams for a thrilling series filled with twists, resilience, and world-class cricket. This one's going to be remembered for a long time! Mohammed Siraj is the Player of the Match for his terrific bowling performance. Harry Brook and Shubman Gill are the Player of the Series.
