London: India won the dramatic Oval Test by 157 runs. After trailing by 99 runs in the first innings, Team India scored one of the best and most successful comebacks in cricket history. Playing a smart, disciplined, yet sharp cricket, the key to India’s victory was to take all 10 wickets at England’s home on the last day. In addition, 50 years later, India won a match at the Oval against the English.
Virat Kohli & Co. have now taken a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. After 17 long years, India now has a chance to win the series on English soil. India last won the series in 2007 in England. Joe Root’s team is set to be in a do or die situation in the fifth and final Test in Manchester starting on the 10th of this month.
On the other hand, Rohit Sharma, who scored a brilliant 127, was considered the best player of the match.
