'Maza Aa Gaya Dekh Ke': Shikhar Dhawan Lauds India’s Fight After Oval Thriller
World Test Championship: Former India opener Shikhar Dhawan was full of praise for the Indian team after its incredible six-run win over England in the fifth and final Test at The Oval. The result helped India level the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2–2 and kick off their World Test Championship 2025–27 campaign with a much-needed boost.
“Siraj & Prasidh, amazing stuff with the ball. Your attitude and playing with calm was brilliant, sab kuch perfect tha! Shubman Gill, your leadership was on point, and there's more to come. Maza aa gaya dekh ke. Proud of you boys,” Dhawan told IANS.
The win was one of India’s narrowest in Test history. England began Day 5 needing only 35 runs with four wickets in hand. But Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna produced sensational bowling performances to script a dramatic turnaround. Siraj finished with 5 for 104, while Prasidh took 4 for 126 — the duo sharing all four wickets to fall on the final morning as India bowled England out for 354.
