Mohammed Siraj was India’s hero as they beat England by just six runs in the fifth Test at the Oval on Monday to end the series level at 2-2.
While commenting on the historic win, Siraj said,” Mohammed Siraj “I always believe in myself — I had a wallpaper in my phone with ‘Belief’.”
England, set 374 to win, were bowled out for 367, with fast bowler Siraj taking 5-104.
After resuming on 339-6, England lost four wickets for 28 runs on the final morning of a thrilling series.
Chris Woakes had walked out to bat wearing a sling to protect his dislocated shoulder with 17 runs still needed, and Atkinson hit Siraj for six to give England hope.
Atkinson tried to protect Woakes from the strike but Siraj produced another brilliant yorker to earn India a dramatic win.
