Jasprit Bumrah Posts Emotional Message After England Test Series: ""We Take Back..."
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.
"We take back great memories from a highly competitive and enthralling test series! Looking forward to what's next," Bumrah wrote in an Instagram post.
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.
"Test cricket really is life. Unpredictable, demanding, but so full of meaning. You learn something new every day, about the game, about yourself. Patience, discipline, and AWARENESS… it brings it all out.
"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.

Shubman Gill to compete with Ben Stokes, Wiaan Mulder for ICC Player of the Month
India captain Shubman Gill was on Wednesday named among the three nominees for ICC's Player of the Month award for July along with South Africa's Wiaan Mulder and England skipper Ben Stokes. Gill led India remarkably in the recently-concluded Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy against England as his young side emerged with a hard-fought 2-2 draw, a series in which the 25-year-old rewrote batting records. Gill scored 754 runs in the series against England with four centuries, including a double ton at 75.40 to break legendary Sunil Gavaskar's record (732) for the highest run tally for an Indian captain in a five-Test series. Gill's returns are now also the second-best behind Sir Donald Bradman (810 runs) in the all-time list for captains. 'Shubman Gill had a sensational month, amassing 567 runs at an impeccable average of 94.50 in three Tests during India's gripping series in England,' the ICC wrote on its website. 'He played a starring role in India's record-breaking win at Edgbaston, where he scored a monumental 269 in the first innings followed by 161 in the second. His combined 430 runs across the two innings is the second highest tally, next only to Graham Gooch's 456,' it added. The ICC said Gill carried the baton from 'all-time great' Virat Kohli at No.4. 'His consistency at No. 4, carrying on the baton from all-time great Virat Kohli, provided stability and flair in equal measure, and combined with his extraordinary captaincy in his debut series,' it said. In his maiden outing as South Africa captain, Mulder struck a mammoth 367 not out against Zimbabwe but declared his team's innings when he could have broken legendary Brian Lara's record for highest individual total of 400 not out against England in 2004. The ICC said, 'He scored 531 runs across the two matches at an astonishing average of 265.50, including a composed 147 in the second innings of the first Test.' 'However, his standout act came in the second Test at Bulawayo, where he smashed an unbeaten 367 in his maiden outing as South Africa's Test skipper — the highest individual score in South African Test history.' 'Mulder also chipped in with the ball, claiming seven wickets at just 15.28 apiece, including a four-wicket haul in the first Test,' it added. The ICC lauded Stokes for his all-round show against India saying, 'He scored 251 runs at an average of 50.20 and took 12 wickets at 26.33, delivering in high-pressure situations with both bat and ball.' 'His leadership proved crucial in maintaining England's intensity and belief in a closely contested series. With ball in hand, he bowled long spells, often breaking key partnerships and turning the tide in England's favour,' it added. With PTI inputs

Thank you so much sir always cheering for me. — Mohammed Siraj (@mdsirajofficial) August 6, 2025 Former England all-rounder Moeen Ali feels India pacer Mohammed Siraj's big heart and his steadfast refusal to back down in the face of adversity sets him apart from the rest and makes him a difficult proposition for any batter. With 23 scalps to his name, Siraj emerged as the highest wicket-taker in the just-concluded Test tour of England, playing a key role in India holding the hosts to a 2-2 draw in an intensely fought five-match series. "Siraj has been outstanding in the England series. The energy, aggression, and consistency he brings with the ball is world-class. He's matured into a genuine match-winner for India, and it's always a challenge for batsmen facing him," said Moeen in a release from GFS Developments. "What impresses me most is his ability to control the ball. He's got a big heart and never backs down - that's what makes him so special. Credit to him for the impact he's making," he added. Siraj played all five Tests against England and bowled a staggering 185.3 overs.
