'I had admiration for him...': Brendon McCullum praised Mohammed Siraj and Indian Cricket Team for...
'I had admiration for him...': Brendon McCullum praised Mohammed Siraj and Indian Cricket Team for... New Delhi: After drawing the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series 2-2 against India, England coach Brendon McCullum called it the best five-match Test series he has ever seen. He said, 'This was the best five-Test series I have ever been a part of or seen. It was full of excitement for six weeks. Sometimes it was intense, sometimes friendly spirit, sometimes great cricket and sometimes mediocre play, which happened because of pressure.' Both teams got a tough test McCullum admitted that this series was more challenging than he had thought. 'We knew that this series would be tough, and India would test us mentally and physically. I think it proved to be tougher than our expectations for both the teams. The score of 2-2 was the right result.' Siraj gets coach's honor When Mohammad Siraj took the last wicket, McCullum may have expressed disappointment, but he praised Siraj and said, 'When Siraj took the last wicket, as much as I was disappointed, I was equally appreciative of him and the fighting spirit he showed.' Playing five Tests is the toughest task McCullum described the five-match Test series as the most mentally tiring. 'Playing all five days of all five Tests is very tough mentally. We had to call new players in the last Test. This is the toughest thing in cricket because it tests you not only as a player but also as a human being – you come to know from this how much you want to achieve it.' Missing opportunities is part of the game Regarding the missed opportunities in the series, McCullum said, 'This happens throughout the series. India will also remember some missed opportunities in the first Test or the Lord's Test. Even last night, when Brook and Root were batting well, and India took 7 wickets for 60 runs – it shows that anything is possible in this game.' England will not deviate from its style England will now stay away from Test cricket for some time and will play the next Test on November 21 in Perth as part of the Ashes series. McCullum said that the team will stick to its cricket style. 'When we deviate from our style, only then does our wicket-taking ability decrease. At Lord's, we repeated our philosophy and got the benefit of it.' Players progressed as a team McCullum said, 'We also showed courage in batting when it was needed. There were many occasions in this series when we grew as a team. Even though we lost the last Test, there was an understanding in the dressing room that our own style gives us the biggest chance. It does not guarantee, but it definitely becomes our biggest hope.'

An innings to remember
India has just levelled the cricket series in England and ended a gruelling tour with a 2-2 draw. Mohammed Siraj bowled Gus Atkinson with a sublime yorker on the 5th day of the 5th Test match, on a drying, brownish pitch that had looked greenish on day one.A cricket pitch is fertile ground for rich narratives - stories that speak of grit and bravery, of last- minute dashes to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. New heroes emerge in every game - players who refuse to accept defeat. They turn crises into opportunities and deliver sterling performances. These narratives linger long after the match is over. Swami Parthasarathy of the Vedanta Academy, Pune, says three things are of primary importance if you wish to attain success in the game of cricket or in life: concentration, consistency and cooperation. You can concentrate only when the mind is with the action. It shouldn't be in the past or the future. The most intriguing aspect of cricket is that there are dry spells a player must factor into their career. A player may excel at batting or bowling, but there may come a time when they go out of form, and past glories are forgotten. Like Sachin Tendulkar, you may have hit 100 tons, but still, when you come out to bat, every game is a new game. Eventually, senior players must hang up their boots and make way for younger players. Everything about the game, therefore, is transient; nothing lasts forever, neither fame nor records. Life, too, is ever evolving, always on the cusp of change, and everything is ephemeral. Ultimately, all that remains with us is what we have learnt and how we have used it. (Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this column are that of the writer.

Viral Video: KL Rahul's in-laws Suniel Shetty and Ahan Shetty scream, celebrate team India's victory over England
Bollywood actors Suniel Shetty and his son Ahan Shetty celebrated Team India's thrilling win over England straight from the Oval stadium in London. On Monday, the father-son duo took to their Instagram handles, and shared a joint post featuring photos and videos from the stadium, witnessing the winning moment. They wrote in the caption, '2 incredible days at The Oval! What a game and what a win! Come on India, always my India'. Both the actors went to see the match to lend their support to team India's opener KL Rahul. The cricketer is married to Suniel Shetty's daughter and Ahan's sister, Athiya Shetty. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ahan Shetty (@ Team India levelled the series against England with the final Test match, as it defeated its opponents by 6 runs. After legendary pacer Jasprit Bumrah was given a rest for the final test, Siraj took over the reins of the Indian pace attack, and clinched 4 wickets in the first innings. India batted first in the innings and scored 224 runs before they were all out. Only Karun Nair managed to score a half-century for Team India as he scored 57 runs from 109 balls. India lost early wickets in the 1st innings, and continued to struggle with the momentum. While the Indian opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul fumbled in the 1st innings, England's opening pair of Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett put up an impressive performance, Zak scored 64 runs and Ben settled for 43 before they were sent to the pavilion. Harry Brook emerged as a top scorer for England with 53 runs from 64 balls in the first innings. England gained a lead of 23 runs. Team India tightened the screws for both its batting line-up and bowling attack in the 2nd innings, and Yashasvi Jaiswal , who had scored just 2 runs in the 1st innings, turned on the beast mode, as he smashed 118 runs from 164 balls in the 2nd innings. His opening partner KL Rahul, could however, only score 7 runs. This time around, team India also saw three half centuries each from Akash Deep, the Dark Knight of the Indian cricket team across formats – Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar. India nullified the lead, and went on to score 396 runs in the 2nd innings. England's opening pair was met with fierce attacks by the Indian pace artillery, Zak Crawley was sent back on 14 runs, as his partner Ben Duckett scored an impressive 54 from 83 balls. Joe Root and Harry Brook stood up to the occasion with support from Harry Brook as both of them hit tons but were restricted to a narrow margin, as India won the game by 6 runs. Siraj, who missed his seniors Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma at the slip cordon, emerged as the leading wicket taker for India in the final test match. The leveller game serves as a huge morale boost for the new generation Indian test team.
