London: England head coach Brendon McCullum commented on the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025, a five-match series between the Three Lions and India that concluded in a 2-2 tie, stating that it was the finest five-match series he had participated in and seen.
In a remarkable humdinger of a match, inspired spells from Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna helped India tie the five-match series against England, denying the hosts a series win. They won by six runs while defending 374 runs in a thrilling encounter at The Oval on Monday.
With this victory, the Shubman Gill-led Team India has begun a new chapter with great hope, tying the series 2-2.
According to Sky Sports, McCullum spoke about the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 between England and India, describing it as the finest five-match Test series he had ever been a part of or seen. It just oscillated so much over the six weeks, and I thought it had everything. I observed animosity at times, camaraderie at times, excellent cricket at times, but also poor cricket owing to the stress they were under.
We knew it would be difficult entering the season; we knew they would push us physically and mentally. I believe it tested both teams more than we anticipated. It was a wonderful series to be a part of, and while I was sad when Siraj took the final wicket, I respected him and the struggle he had as a cricketer, as well as his ability to do what he did. I believe 22 was a true reflection, the 43-year-old remarked.
