On August 6, just 57 minutes into the fifth day of the fifth Test match between India and England, fast bowler Mohammed Siraj bowled a searing yorker that shattered Guy Atkinson’s stumps, sealing a thrilling six-run win for India – the narrowest Test victory margin in the country’s cricketing history.
In the post-match analysis, one perspective put forward was that this is a new India, which is used to emerging victorious from the jaws of defeat.
