Ravindra Jadeja couldn’t hide his joy as India pulled off a heart-stopping six-run victory in the fifth and final Test at The Oval on August 4, levelling the series 2-2 and completing a memorable comeback in England. The dramatic win not only brought the series to a thrilling end but also marked a significant chapter in India’s overseas Test journey.
As the Indian team, led by captain Shubman Gill, took a triumphant lap around the ground, players waved to fans, posed for pictures, and soaked in the applause of a buzzing Oval crowd.
Amidst the celebrations, Jadeja’s humorous moment went viral—he was caught on camera pointing toward the English supporters and playfully saying, “Goron ke muh dekh,” cheekily highlighting their disbelief after India’s dramatic finish.

India’s win in the fifth Test was historic in more ways than one. It was their first-ever victory in the final Test of a series on English soil and also their narrowest Test win by runs in history—a testament to the team’s resilience and composure under pressure.

Looking ahead, India’s red-ball calendar remains packed. The team will return to action in October, hosting a two-match Test series against the West Indies and South Africa. Matches are scheduled in Ahmedabad, Delhi, Kolkata, and Guwahati. In 2026, India is set to travel to Sri Lanka and New Zealand for two Tests each, and will host Afghanistan for a one-off Test, though it won’t count toward the WTC. The ongoing World Test Championship cycle will conclude with a marquee five-Test home series against Australia beginning January 2027.
