[Watch] ENG vs IND 2025: Sunil Gavaskar grooves to ‘Meri Desh Ki Dharti’ after India’s historic Oval triumph | CricTracker

Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar was spotted vibing to the patriotic classic ‘Mere Desh Ki Dharti‘ following India’s six-run win in the final Test of the series between England and India. This result ensured India retained the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy as they levelled the series 2-2.

Gavaskar was cheered along by Cheteshwar Pujara and the others from the broadcasting team as he showcased his dancing and singing skills with the people surrounding him. The seasoned cricketer looked delighted while celebrating the victory along with his colleagues. The video of the same has been doing the rounds on social media, and is yet another indication of the love and respect for the nation Gavaskar possesses in himself. 

Speaking of the proceedings on the final day, England required 35 runs with four wickets in hand at the start of the fifth day’s play. It looked highly improbable for India to claim victory from that situation. However, Mohammed Siraj (5/104 in 30.1 overs) and Prasidh Krishna (4/126 in 27 overs) ensured the English fell six runs short of their target.

Siraj was named the Player of the Match for his career-best 9/190, while skipper Shubman Gill (754 runs in 10 innings) and Harry Brook (481 runs in nine innings) secured the Player of the Series award. Siraj (23 wickets in nine innings) finished as the leading wicket-taker across both teams.

India’s victories in the seires came at Edgbaston (336 runs) and The Oval (six runs) while thew heroically drew the fourth Test in Manchester to keep the series alive. Their losses came at Headingley (five wickets) and Lord’s (22 runs).
