Yashasvi Jaiswal wanted to be more consistent on his first tour of England but drew immense satisfaction from his second-innings ton on a spicy pitch at The Oval to help set a massive 374-run target in the fifth Test. Jaiswal ended the series with 411 runs at an average of 41.10 including two centuries and as many fifties. In the initial phase, he was peppered with plenty of short balls into the rib cage, before Jaiswal had his fair share of struggle against Jofra Archer at Lord's.

India pacers Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj have credited mutual trust, responsibility, and a close-knit fast-bowling unit for the team's spirited comeback against England in the ongoing Test.
