IND vs ENG Test: Victory scenes go viral as India celebrate stunning win at The Oval – Watch | Cricket News
The Oval erupted in a wave of cheer as India’s players launched into a euphoric victory parade, celebrating one of their most dramatic Test wins in recent memory — a six-run thriller that squared the five-match series 2-2. After Mohammed Siraj’s pinpoint yorker cleaned up Gus Atkinson to seal the win, the Indian camp charged towards the fast bowler. Wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel led the race, hugging Siraj amid roars from the crowd. What followed was an emotional, spontaneous celebration — a moment etched in Test cricket history.
The post-match scenes were pure theatre. The Indian players took a lap of honour around The Oval, raising their arms, soaking in the applause, and waving the stumps in triumph. Ravindra Jadeja led the pack, beaming as he paced in front of his teammates. Mohammed Siraj, who finished with 5/104, looked up at the sky, arms aloft in a mix of exhaustion and exultation. Mobile phones were out, selfies were clicked, and chants of “India, India” rang out from the stands. Camerapersons swarmed the team, who seemed to relish the spotlight after pulling off a win that had slipped out of sight multiple times over the five days. The crowd stood and applauded the Indian team as they made their way around the boundary ropes. It was a gesture of mutual respect — the fans recognising the spirit, the fight, and the sheer drama that had unfolded over the past 25 days. This was India’s narrowest Test victory ever in terms of runs, and the celebration reflected every ounce of that intensity. The image of Siraj’s yorker splattering the stumps was already viral, but so too was the post-match image of Chris Woakes, who had his injured left arm in a sling, and bat in the other.
