India staged a memorable comeback in the recently concluded Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy as they picked up a dramatic win at the Oval in the fifth Test and drew the series 2-2.

It was a momentous turnaround for the Indian side, as at one point England were cruising towards victory in the fifth Test, with Harry Brook and Joe Root scoring a century each in the second innings.

However, it was Mohammed Siraj's heroics in the final day as he claimed a fifer and cleaned up the English tail to guide India to a memorable victory at the Oval.
