India Won Fourth Test: Team India won the fourth Test between India and England at Kennington Oval by 157 runs. England had a target of 368 runs in the match, but the entire team was bundled out for just 210 runs and India won the match and took a 2-1 lead in the series. After 50 years, the Indian team was able to win a Test match at The Oval.
Team India’s bowlers got a great performance in the match. Umesh Yadav took 3 wickets in the team’s memorable win, while Jasprit Bumrah, Shardul Thakur and Ravindra Jadeja took two wickets each.
England’s Middle Order Disappointed
At one point England seemed to be in a strong position. It also seemed that perhaps the team would be successful in getting the match drawn but it did not happen. Not a single player in the middle order could show the courage to stand on the wicket. England lost their 6 wickets one after the other within 52 runs. From here the Indian bowlers did not give England a chance to return and registered a brilliant victory.
Bumrah Completes 100 Wickets
Jasprit Bumrah has become the fastest bowler to take 100 Test wickets for India. Bumrah made this record in just 24 matches. Before him, the record of taking the fastest 100 wickets for India was recorded in the name of fast bowler Kapil Dev (25). Kapil is followed by the names of Irfan Pathan (28), Mohammed Shami (29) and Javagal Srinath (30).
