The 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test series between England and India concluded in a dramatic fashion at The Oval, with the series ending in a 2-2 draw after five Tests. The final Test saw a thrilling finish, with India securing a narrow six-run victory over England. Mohammed Siraj was the standout performer, delivering a match-winning five-wicket haul (5/104) in the final innings, which played a crucial role in India's comeback and series leveling. England's Harry Brook and Joe Root produced significant centuries and a 195-run partnership that brought England close to victory, but India's resilience, led by Siraj and supported by Prasidh Krishna, turned the tide. India’s captain Shubman Gill was the leading run-scorer of the series with 754 runs and was named India's player of the series. The series was noted for its competitiveness, with all five Tests going to the final day, and it featured record-breaking batting performances, including the second-highest aggregate runs in a series (7,187) and a joint record for the most 300-plus team totals (14). The series was widely praised for its intensity, sportsmanship, and memorable moments, with both teams displaying grit and determination. Former Indian captain Virat Kohli and England skipper Ben Stokes lauded the performances, particularly highlighting Siraj's impact. The series is regarded as one of the most gripping and historic in recent Test cricket history.
