After levelling the series with a memorable win at the Oval, the Indian cricket team chose to skip celebrations and quietly dispersed. Less than 24 hours after the victory, several players, including Mohammad Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, and Shardul Thakur, boarded flights back to India on Tuesday morning.
The team members arrived in Dubai on Tuesday evening and then took connecting flights to their respective homes. Mohammad Siraj, the hero of the Oval Test, will travel to his home in Hyderabad after reaching Dubai.
Meanwhile, other players have decided to stay in London for some rest. Arshdeep and Prasidh Krishna were seen spending time with their families in the city, while Kuldeep Yadav, who did not play in the series, was spotted roaming with former Indian spinner Piyush Chawla. Jasprit Bumrah, who missed the deciding match due to workload management, was released by the BCCI and had already returned to India.
A BCCI source told PTI, “There was no celebration last night. It has been a long and tiring series. The players spent time with their families or alone. Most of the players are returning to India, some are going elsewhere.”
India’s performance in the series showcased resilience. The team lost the first match of the 5-match Test series against England, then after a loss in Leeds, bounced back with a win in Birmingham to equalise the series. England secured a victory in the Lord’s Test, taking a 2-1 lead. The result of the Manchester Test remained undecided, bringing the series down to the final match. In the Oval Test, India clinched a thrilling victory on the last day, thanks to Mohammad Siraj’s lethal bowling, concluding the series in a 2-2 draw.
