On a more current note, India achieved the ultimate victory in the 5th test match of the series with England. After the draw match of the fourth test, the English team led the series at 2-1, and so the last match was crucial and one of destiny. After some ups and downs, the match had reached such a stage where it seemed like England’s win was a guarantee.
But it was the Indian bowlers who turned these fortunes, and suddenly the match became a little more interesting. Finally, the last moments of the match arrived, when England needed 6 runs to win the match and India needed a wicket. The Player of the Match was Mohammed Siraj, simply for holding his nerve, taking the last wicket to seal the game. Although it is a 2-2 for both teams, overtime, I can imagine India would prevail.
The next schedule for the Indian team is the Asia Cup 2025 tournament. There has been lots of discussion of the overall topic lately in association with the India vs Pakistan match, since the Pahalgham attack.
