The England-India Test series ended in a 2-2 draw, marked by extraordinary resilience from players. Mohammed Siraj excelled despite fatigue, while Shoaib Bashir and Rishabh Pant played through injuries. Controversy arose regarding whether England deserved a series win, as they performed remarkably in crucial matches that included chasing down significant targets. India displayed exceptional skill and heart, ultimately making the drawn series a fair outcome, proving the competitiveness inherent in Test cricket despite its brutal nature.
The England-India epic that ended up like two weary prizefighters trading blows will live long in the memory, a 2-2 classic deserving immense credit for players on both sides.
Not that Mohammed Siraj, still hitting 90mph on the speed gun on the 25th day, showed weariness. If anything, he could well hold the key to solving the world's energy problems.
Shoaib Bashir bowled with a broken left hand at Lord's; Rishabh Pant batted with a broken foot at Old Trafford. Test cricket is a brutal sport.
England chased down 371 to win at Headingley, defended a mere 193 at Lord's, and forced India into a remarkable rearguard at Old Trafford by sticking 669 on the board.
