IND vs ENG: ‘It was very fitting for Siraj to get the final wicket..’ Nasser Hussain hails Indian fightback led by pacer

With India winning the last test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at The Oval, it means that the newly introduced trophy was shared by Indian captain Shubman Gill and England captain Ben Stokes. With England needing 35 runs to win the Test and win the series 3-1, Indian pacers Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna made sure that the Shubman Gill led Indian team did not lose the series and India tied the series with a six-run win. With Siraj being the leading wicket-taker of the series with 23 wickets and Gill being the highest scorer in the series with 754 runs, the series saw both the teams giving their best. Former England captain Nasser Hussain has termed it a ‘travesty’ had England won the series 3-1 and has hailed India’s effort in the Oval Test.

“It would have been a travesty had England won the series 3-1. India deserve to make to 2-2 for the amount of good cricket they have played in this series. The final scoreline was well and truly deserved by India, and it was very fitting for Siraj to get the final wicket,” Hussain told Sky Cricket.
