On Monday morning, everyone felt that it would be difficult for India to win; however, by afternoon, a miracle happened. In a stunning display at The Oval on Monday, India silenced England and won a historic match, proving everyone wrong. The entire globe, not just Indians, took notice after India won the fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy by six runs.
The win immediately becomes a trending topic of discussion on social media platforms. Consequently, social media is flooded with memes. Participating in the trend, former cricketer Wasim Jaffer also grabbed attention. However, what makes his meme more special is that through the meme, he gives a befitting reply to a former England cricketer who earlier tried to troll him. So, let’s have a look at what happened:

Michael Vaughan tried to troll Wasim Jaffer in the initial hours of the match.
India set a challenging target of 374 for England on Saturday after scoring 396 in their second innings. No side had ever pursued this many runs in the fourth innings of a Test at The Oval. However, Australia came very close, as Brook and Root put together an incredible 195-run partnership for the fourth wicket in typical Bazball manner, keeping England in the running for a record victory. After Brook was dismissed before the last session, Root maintained the momentum and scored a century to put India in danger of losing the series by a likely score of 1-3.

Harry Brook’s fiery century and Joe Root’s cool hundred were in vain as England’s attempt to stage the most successful chase at the venue in 123 years fell apart in the opening session of Day 5. India tied the series 2-2 thanks to three wickets in an hour from Mohammed Siraj, who also claimed his fifth five-wicket haul in Test cricket.
