India beat England to script a miraculous win at the Oval, turning the match around in a thrilling fashion that stunned fans and critics alike.
The Oval Test, which initially seemed to be in England's favor, witnessed a historic turnaround led by exceptional performances from India's middle order and a fiery bowling display on the final day.
After a shaky start in the first innings, India's top order crumbled under pressure, but a gritty century from the vice-captain and a solid lower-order partnership brought them back into the game. With a modest lead, the Indian bowlers, led by a rejuvenated pace attack, exploited the conditions to perfection, dismissing England cheaply in their second innings.
The chase was tense, but India held their nerve, with young players stepping up under immense pressure. This match will be remembered as one of the most remarkable victories in recent cricket history, not just for the result but for the resilience and unity shown by the Indian team.
Fans, former players, and commentators flooded social media with praise, calling it a "once-in-a-generation comeback." With this win, India strengthens its standing in the ICC rankings and sets the tone for the rest of the tour.
