The duo ensured that India got the required four wickets to bowl out England for 367 in chase of 374.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"It would have been a travesty had England won the series 3-1. India deserve to make to 2-2 for the amount of good cricket they have played in this series. The final scoreline was well and truly deserved by India, and it was very fitting for Siraj to get the final wicket,\" said Hussain on Sky Sports\u2019.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Michael Atherton, ex-England captain, lauded Siraj for leading India\u2019s fightback on day five. \u201cCongratulations to India. They\u2019ve been competitive throughout. They looked dead and buried yesterday afternoon - the game seemed gone when Brook and Root were batting so magnificently.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"But they\u2019ve come back through that man, Mohammed Siraj, who finishes with figures of 5 for 104. Brilliant. What a series it\u2019s been. It\u2019s been fiery at times, with tension and needle, but these two teams have delivered a magnificent contest.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On the BBC Test Match Special, Deep Dasgupta, former India wicketkeeper, said India\u2019s miraculous win at The Oval, is one of their greatest away Test wins. \u201cI am speechless. This has been another fightback story. This has to be up there as one of India's greatest Test victories outside India for sure.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"But they\u2019ve come back through that man, Mohammed Siraj, who finishes with figures of 5 for 104. Brilliant. What a series it\u2019s been.
