NEW DELHI– India pace ace Jasprit Bumrah said he will cherish the memories from the fiercely contested five-Test series against England, which ended in a 2-2 draw after India’s narrow six-run victory in the final match at The Oval on Monday.
Bumrah, who missed the series decider as part of workload management, praised his teammates for delivering under pressure. Mohammed Siraj led the charge with a five-wicket haul, while Prasidh Krishna claimed four wickets on the final day to seal a historic win in London.
Bumrah featured in three Tests — at Leeds, Lord’s, and Manchester — taking 14 wickets, including two five-wicket hauls, before being released from the squad ahead of the finale.
“We take back great memories from a highly competitive and enthralling Test series! Looking forward to what’s next,” Bumrah wrote on Instagram.
All-rounder Washington Sundar, named India’s Impact Player of the Series, called the tour a “blessing” and reflected on the life lessons of Test cricket.
“Test cricket really is life — unpredictable, demanding, but so full of meaning. You learn something new every day, about the game, about yourself. Patience, discipline, and awareness… it brings it all out,” Sundar wrote on Instagram. “Somehow, in all the grind, you start figuring out who you really are. What a blessing to play it.”
Sundar scored 284 runs in the series, highlighted by an unbeaten, match-saving 101 at Old Trafford, and took seven wickets across four Tests. (Source: IANS)
