Ind vs Eng 5th Test: On the second day of the fifth Test of Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, the Indian innings was reduced to 224 runs, after which India also made a brilliant comeback and stopped England to 247 runs in the first innings and he got a lead of only 23 runs. Siraj and the famous Krishna maintained the team in the match with 4-4 wickets. After this, Yashasvi Jaiswal handled India’s second innings by scoring a half -century.
By the end of the day, India have scored 75 runs for 2 wickets and took a lead of 52 runs. There are three days left in this Mahamukabale, but the big question is whether India will be able to win this match even after giving the lead in the first innings? If this question is revolving in your mind, then tell that India has done so before.
There have been many memorable opportunities when the visiting teams have won the Oval after losing the lead in the first innings. One of these most famous anecdote is in August 1971, when India defeated England by 4 wickets despite trailing by 71 runs. India made a comeback and achieved the target thanks to Ajit Wadekar’s best batting performance and strong bowling.
Apart from this, in September 2024, Sri Lanka also surprised England by winning by 8 wickets after trailing by 62 runs. The West Indies did this in 1963 and 1988, respectively when they defeated England by 8 wickets after losing 29 and 22 runs. Australia also won by 7 runs in 1882 after trailing by 38 runs.
India made another comeback in 2021, when India won by 157 runs despite being 99 runs behind. In such a situation, there is no reason for such a reason that India can win this match by batting well on the third day of this match, but for that they will be expected to perform well from their batsmen.
