I Don’t Think Many People Gave This Indian Team A Chance: Kaif Reflects On Historic Oval Thriller
Jamie Overton LBW: Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif called “a big win for India” despite the series ending in a 2-2 draw, India pulled off one of their most sensational Test victories — a six-run triumph in the fifth and final Test against England at The Oval. From being written off before the series began to levelling it on the final day with nerves of steel and a clutch bowling effort, this Indian team showcased what Kaif hailed as a triumph “won on the field — not on paper.”
"First of all, I don’t think many people gave this Indian team a chance. They went to England without Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and R. Ashwin. Shubman Gill was a new captain, and there were questions raised about that, too. Some experts predicted a 3-1 or 4-1 loss. But this Indian team showed that matches are won on the field — not on paper," Kaif told IANS.
With England needing just 35 runs and India four wickets to force a series-levelling win on Day 5, the stage was set for an epic finale. The clouds loomed over The Oval, and a sold-out crowd added to the drama with every clap, gasp, and groan. On the field, Mohammed Siraj rose to the occasion, delivering what Kaif described as a performance that should make him “the brand ambassador of Test cricket.”
