Under the leadership of Shubman Gill, India won an exciting 6 -run win over England on the last day (Monday, August 4) of the series at Kennington Oval, London. In Blue, men finished the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy on a high note as the five-match series ended in a 2–2 draw.
England resumed the last day at 339/6, with Jamie Smith (2) and Jamie Overton (0) at the crease. The domestic team started aggressively, hit the boundaries on the first two balls and reduced the target to 27 runs. However, he lost one wicket in the next over as Mohammad Siraj gave success.

Mohammad Siraj rejected Jamie Smith for 2. Smith had a delivery that went out, and Dhruv Juraral took a sharp low catch behind the stumps. Siraj almost hit again when Gas Atkinson delivered a slight delivery of KL Rahul on the second slip.

However, Siraj soon removed Jamie overton with a sharp neap-bicker, which stuck him for LBW for 9. The ball was clipping only the leg stump, and the on-next decision was with the call from the umpire, leaving England at 354/8.
Despite the magnificent centuries from Joe Root (105) and Harry Brooke (111), England were excluded for 367. Siraj took five wickets, while Prasad Krishna provided significant support with four skulls.

India could not win by rejecting one -handed Voki. It won by knocking a competent Etkinson.
Very fitting. very satisfactory.
