The 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test series between England and India concluded with India securing a historic victory at The Oval, winning by a narrow margin of six runs. This win is among the lowest run-margin victories for India in Test cricket, following previous close wins such as 13 runs against Australia in 2004 and 28 runs against England in 1972. The series was marked by remarkable individual performances, including Joe Root surpassing Kumar Sangakkara with his 39th Test century and becoming the first batter to score 6,000 World Test Championship runs. Indian batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a significant century under pressure, his fourth Test hundred outside India. Bowler Mohammed Siraj was a standout, taking 20 wickets in the series and bowling more deliveries than any Indian seamer since June 2002, except Jasprit Bumrah in 2021-22. Siraj's impact was highlighted by his consistent performance in SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia) Test wins this decade, with 51 wickets in nine matches at an average of 18.92 and four five-wicket hauls, making him the only player to feature in all nine of India's SENA victories in this period. The series featured the second-highest aggregate runs (7,187) and joint-most 300-plus team totals (14) in a series, with nine batsmen scoring over 400 runs. England needed 35 runs to win on the final day with three wickets remaining, but India managed to hold on for the victory. England all-rounder Chris Woakes, despite a shoulder injury, came out to bat in the final Test. The Indian captain Shubman Gill was praised for his sportsmanship and leadership throughout the series. Following the series, India and England swapped positions in the World Test Championship points table for the 2025-27 cycle. The series was widely regarded as a display of high-quality cricket and sportsmanship, with India celebrating their win with a lap of honour at The Oval.
