This five-match Test series, which was part of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025-27, had everything from tense finishes to breakout performances to moments fans won’t forget anytime soon.
The Indian pacer took nine wickets in the final Test match and finished the India vs England Test series as the leading wicket-taker with 23 wickets and won the Player of the Match award at The Oval.
Chris Woakes also won applause for coming out to bat with his arm in a sling during the final moments at The Oval, where he had injured his shoulder badly. In a courageous move, he stood at the non-striker’s end as Atkinson tried to protect him and win the match for England in the fifth Test.
The Oval verdict awaited as ICC rates 3 pitches 'Satisfactory'
However, the surfaces used in the next three Tests didn’t receive the same rating. Instead, the pitches at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham, Lord’s Cricket Ground in London, and Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester were rated merely as “satisfactory” by the ICC.
However, the ICC has not yet rated The Oval pitch. The journalist posted on X: “ICC pitch ratings for the India vs England series: The pitch for the First Test at Leeds has been rated as 'very good'; however, the pitches for the next 3 tests have been given a 'satisfactory' rating only. The pitch ratings for the 5th Test are not out yet. :)”

England took the early lead in the Test series with a solid five-wicket win, chasing down a challenging target of 371 runs despite India’s big first-innings score of 471 at Headingley. Ben Duckett stole the show with his game-changing knocks of 62 and 149 against India.
India bounced back in style, crushing England by 336 runs. It was a special moment, as this was India’s first-ever Test win at Edgbaston. Indian captain Shubman Gill’s record-breaking knock of 269 set the tone, and later Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep did the rest of the job.
India fought hard in the third Test at Lord’s but lost by just 22 runs. The lower order came close to pulling off a stunning chase, but Siraj’s wicket conceded England a 2–1 series lead.
India and England both fought hard in the fourth Test, but the match ended in a draw.
India held their nerve to win a thriller by six runs and level the series 2–2. Mohammed Siraj was the hero at The Oval.
