India took an unassailable 2-1 lead after winning the Oval Test

India defeated England by 157 runs in the fourth Test at The Oval and took a 2-1 lead ahead of the fifth and final match of the series at the Old Trafford from September 10. Chasing a target of 368 runs, England choked in front of a fierce Indian bowling attack led by none other than Jasprit Bumrah.

Virat Kohli-led India stormed to a 157-run win over England on the final day of the fourth Test to register only their second Test win at the Oval and take a 2-1 unbeatable lead in the 5-match series on Monday.

ENJOY

India register their 1st ever Test Victory at Oval. Amazing come back not only in this Test but after last Test Match. They have the better team. ENG missed a chance to score big in 1st inngs even after 60 odd for 5. Rohit, Shardul, Kohli & all the bowlers star for IND.

WINNERS MENTALITY

In 2015 ODI series in Australia/New Zealand, Shastri was locked inside a lift for last 1 hour. India won that match in an otherwise forgettable tour
