Oval Redemption: Siraj Fires, India Roars Back to Level the Series | The Stumps Mic Show – Episode 6

Episode 6: Siraj Saves India! | The Oval Nail-Biter That Leveled the Series | India vs England 5th Test Review
India marched into The Oval with the series on the line, carrying scars from Lord’s but fire in their eyes, and walked away with a six-run victory that will be etched in Test cricket folklore. From Siraj’s death-overs demolition to Rohit’s calm leadership and Bumrah’s relentless pressure, this wasn’t just a win — it was redemption.
In this episode, we break down every twist of the Oval epic, where Root and Brook almost broke Indian hearts, but India’s bowlers said not today.
Siraj’s stunning 5/104, a late-stage English collapse, and a crowd on edge gave us the most dramatic finish of the series. Despite England cruising at 301/3 chasing 374, they lost 7 wickets for 66 runs — unravelling under pressure, while Siraj turned pressure into performance.
Woakes walking in with a dislocated shoulder needing 17 to win? Script-worthy.
England faltered. India fought.
And the stump mic caught it all.
With panic, poise, and pure theatre, we unpack how India turned heartbreak at Lord’s into glory at The Oval.
They got Root’d. They got Brook’d. They got Siraj’d.
But in the end… England got Bazball’d.
And they definitely got Stump’s Mic’d.
