Siraj Inspires India to Oval Test Series Draw

Mohammed Siraj played a pivotal role in India's six-run victory over England in the fifth Test at The Oval, taking three of the final four wickets and sealing the match by dismissing Gus Atkinson. Siraj, inspired by a Cristiano Ronaldo 'Believe' wallpaper, overcame immense pressure and delivered a decisive five-wicket haul, helping India level the series 2-2. Captain Shubman Gill and teammate Virat Kohli praised his resilience, while England coach Brendon McCullum called the series the best five-match Test he had witnessed. Siraj's performance marked a personal redemption after earlier setbacks in the match and his previous disappointment at Lord’s. The match was characterized by camaraderie and emotional moments among the Indian squad. The 2-2 draw is seen as a testament to belief, endurance, and the drama of Test cricket.
