New Delhi, Aug 5
India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah said that he will take back great memories from the highly competitive and enthralling five-Test series against England.
India won the fifth and final Test by six runs at The Oval on Monday to level the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2-2. Bumrah missed the series finale as part of his workload management. However, Mohammed Siraj took the responsibility on his shoulders and received ample support from Prasidh Krishna to give a fighting performance on the final day of the tour.
Siraj bagged five wickets while Krishna got hold of four scalps to script a historic win for India in London.
On the other hand, Bumrah played three Tests of the tour - Leeds, Lord's, and Manchester - and clinched 14 wickets, including two five-wicket hauls, before being released from the fifth Test squad.
India all-rounder Washington Sundar, who was named India's Impact Player of the Series, reflected on his successful tour and called it a "blessing" to represent the country.
"Somehow, in all the grind, you start figuring out who you really are. What a blessing to play it," Sundar wrote in an Instagram post.
The left-handed batter wrapped up the series with 284 runs, highlighted by an unbeaten match-saving 101 at Old Trafford in Manchester. He also claimed seven wickets across the four Tests during the remarkable tour.
