Harbhajan Singh hailed India’s six-run win in the 5th Test against England as a defining moment for the team. He praised the young Indian side for their resilience and launched a sharp attack on Michael Vaughan for doubting their potential before the series began.
India’s stunning comeback at The Oval helped them end the five-match series in a 2-2 draw. The squad, led by Shubman Gill, proved critics wrong despite missing several key senior players.
“These Youngsters Are True Warriors,” Says Harbhajan
“I feel there is a big win hidden for India here. Yes, the scoreline shows 2-2. Michael Vaughan and many others predicted that it would be 3-1 or 3-0. I would tell them to look towards their side a bit and where England cricket stands. Our warriors have shown the level of Indian cricket,” Harbhajan said on his YouTube channel.
He lauded the team’s approach, calling the performance bold and historic.”Unbelievable Test match and the way India have played the series, they deserve praise. When the team went to England, many people said it was young and there were no seniors. But see how the young team created history,” he added.
Siraj and Krishna Deliver Under Pressure
With only 35 runs to defend and four wickets to claim, India faced a near-impossible task. England got off to a flying start on Day 5, hitting two early boundaries.
But Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna rose to the challenge and turned the tide with relentless pressure. Siraj sealed the win by uprooting Gus Atkinson’s stumps with a brilliant yorker.
This victory not only silenced critics like Vaughan but also validated Shubman Gill’s leadership in his first Test series as captain.
