If Old Trafford was SCG, can India make Oval its new Gabba? As ENGvIND 2025 moves to a final showdown, the series is poised for a finish as entertaining as AUSvIND 2021

In 2021 in Australia India saved the Sydney Test then conquered the Gabba. Will the script repeat with Oval following Old Trafford ? I also revisit the drama at the end at Manchester. #INDvENG
