Biggest stats as India hold England to a draw: Gill and Co register narrowest Test win; Siraj tops bowling charts

The Indian team celebrates after defeating England by 6 runs at The Oval to level the five-match Test series 2-2. Reuters

Team India celebrates Oval Test victory. — India’s six-run victory over England at The Oval is now their narrowest in Test cricket by margin of runs, surpassing their 13-run win against Australia in Mumbai in 2004. AP

England also are the first team to lose a Test by fewer than 10 runs while chasing a target above 300. AP

Mohammed Siraj — Mohammed Siraj signed off as the leading wicket-taker in the five-match series with 23 scalps to his name after sending down a mind-boggling 1,113 deliveries across the five Tests. AP

Mohammed Siraj picked the final wicket. — Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna (right) also became the second Indian pair to collect four or more wickets in both innings of a Test after the late Bishan Singh Bedi and Erapalli Prasanna. AP

Shubman Gill captaincy analysis — Shubman Gill finished as the leading run-scorer in his maiden series as Test captain, collecting 754 runs at an average of 75.40. Only Don Bradman has scored more runs than him in a Test series as captain. Reuters

Joe Root became the first batter to score 500 or more runs in a series against India on three different occasions. A total of five batters including Ricky Ponting had achieved the feat twice in the past. Reuters

Harry Brook — Harry Brook brought up his 10th Test hundred in just 50 innings, which is the fastest in the last 80 years and the ninth-fastest overall. AFP

Harry Brook and Joe Root’s 195-run partnership for the fourth wicket at The Oval is now the second-highest in the fourth innings to end in a defeat, behind KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant’s 204-run stand at the same venue in 2018. Reuters
