India Defeats England by 157 Runs at The Oval

On September 6, 2021, India achieved a remarkable 157-run victory over England at The Oval, taking a 2-1 lead in the five-match Test series, thanks to standout performances from Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah. Sharma scored a vital 127 runs, leading India to a second-innings total of 466, while Bumrah's exceptional bowling dismantled England's batting order on the final day, securing their collapse from 100 without loss to 210 all out. Additionally, Sachin Tendulkar's illustrious career was highlighted, showcasing his record 100 international centuries and memorable performances, including battling an upset stomach to score 97 runs against Sri Lanka in the 2003 World Cup. Tendulkar's duels with Shane Warne also defined an era in cricket, emphasizing his dominance over the legendary spinner during their encounters in the late 1990s. Tendulkar's meticulous preparations against Warne were pivotal in India's successes during that period. His legacy, alongside Kohli's leadership, continues to shape Indian cricket's narrative.
