India Win by 157 Runs: Cricket Fraternity Shower Praises on Virat Kohliโs Team Following Epic Win Against England at the Oval
Having only scored 191 in the first innings, India did pretty well to bounce back with the bat in their second innings, scoring a massive 466, thereby setting England a target of 368 runs to chase and win the fourth Test match. The Indian bowlers then turned up to take all 10 wickets on the final day to secure a 157-run and take a 21- lead in the five-match series.
The Indian team on Monday, clinched a memorable win by 157 runs against England in the fourth Test to take a 2-1 series lead. The bowlers were absolutely spectacular on the fifth day, taking all ten English wickets as the hosts could only score 210. With the final Test in Manchester remaining, this result ensures that India cannot lose the series anymore. India had many heroes in this Test match, from Shardul Thakur and Rohit Sharma to Cheteshwar Pujara, Jasprit Bumrah, Umesh Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja, all of whom supported in this memorable win.ย โLordโ Shardul Thakur Funny Memes Go Viral After Indian Cricketer Shines With Bat and Ball During IND vs ENG Oval Test Match
