India took on England for the fifth Test match at the Oval. After winning the toss, England elected to bat first and asked the visitors to bowl. It was Jasprit Bumrah who snapped the first wicket of Keaton Jennings. However, England was in a stronger position post lunch with Cook and Moeen Ali going strong for England. However, ahead of the third session, Cook and wickets kept falling one after another bringing the visitor to a stronger position. Needless to say that this sent the Indian fans at the Oval into a frenzy and the silent crowd begun celebrating each moment of the game. The fans started playing dolls and danced to its beats.
Shikhar Dhawan who was at the boundary also could not stop himself from shaking his legs to the beats of the dhol. His performance gave a wave of joy amongst the Indian fans. One of them even recorded a video of the same. Check it out below:
