India vs England 5th Test: IND secured a six-run win in the fifth and final Test match of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Series at The Oval, and the cricketing fraternity has taken to social media to heap praise on the Men in Blue
Summary
India did the unthinkable during the fifth and final Test match of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series at The Oval on 4 August 2025. India’s pace attack – starring Mohammed Shami and Prasidh Krishna – restricted the hosts to 367, securing a narrow six-run win to tie the Test series 2-2.
Few gave the new-look India Test side, featuring a first-time captain in Shubman Gill, much chance of achieving anything in the away series in England. However, the Men in Blue have defied expectations, marking historic results at Old Trafford and the Oval, resulting in the latest win.
Following their latest red-ball exploits, the cricketing fraternity took to social media to heap praise on the victorious Indian side.
Test legend Sachin Tendulkar took to X after the match to praise Shubman Gill, calling the win a ‘shublime innings’. He also praised Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, and Ravindra Jadeja, with all three players key in India’s five Test matches in the series.
Virat Kohli, who announced his Test retirement this year, also praised India’s “fearless” innings.
Other former Indian Test captains – VVS Laxman and Sourav Ganguly – also praised India’s pace attack, particularly naming Mohammed Shami and Akash Deep.
Several former and current cricketers joined in the praise. Mohammed Shami, who missed out on the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series due to a lack of fitness, termed the Indian team “unstoppable”.
The Indian Test squad will next be in action against West Indies in October.
