'Miracle' happened under Virat Kohli's captaincy, victory on Oval after 50 years, British pride was shattered

The year was 2021 and the date was 6 September. Under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, Team India had shown that miracle on the soil of England, which big captains could not do. Kohli's army had created a new history at the Oval ground and there were many heroes of this historic victory. For the first time since 1971, exactly two years ago, Team India tasted victory at the Oval, ending a 50-year drought. Let us tell you how the pride of the British was mixed in the soil and in front of which players the English team was defeated.

The condition of Team India's batsmen was in disarray in the first innings. Everyone from Rohit, and Pujara to Jadeja and Rahane was a complete flop. Only Virat Kohli's bat could score the only half-century, due to which the Indian team somehow managed to reach 191 runs. England's batsmen played well in the first innings against India and took a significant lead of 99 runs. That is, the English team was completely dominating the match and Kohli's army was on the back foot.

After trailing by 99 runs in the first innings, the Indian team needed to bat strong in the second innings. In that match, Rohit Sharma took up the responsibility of sailing the team's boat with the bat. In the second inning, the Hitman had won hearts with his batting and played a memorable inning of 127 runs. Rohit had good support from Pujara and the batsman known as the wall of Team India played a brilliant inning of 61 runs. Kohli also scored 44 runs, while Pant also scored a fifty. Shardul Thakur had scored 60 runs in just 72 balls, due to which the Indian team was successful in scoring 466 runs on the scoreboard in the second innings.

England had a target of 368 runs and now the responsibility of saving the team's honor was on the bowlers. Umesh Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah wreaked havoc on the English batting order right from the start. Umesh took three wickets, while Bumrah took two wickets. Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur completed the task and restricted the England team to just 210 runs. History was created on the Oval ground and under the captaincy of Kohli, Team India tasted victory after 50 years.
