The England cricket team defeated India by 7 wickets in the fifth test match at Edgbaston. It was a historical test win for England because it is their highest ever successful run chase in the cricket history of the England test team. England leveled the 5 match series as 2-2. It was a series full of thrilling battles.

England’s Barmy Army is one of the most popular social media accounts in cricket World. They are famous for trolling the opposition team and players in a funny banter. They posted a pic of Jonny Bairstow raising his bat with ” England win series 1-0″ written on the pic.

Ideally, the series ended as 2-2. Several Indian fans pointed out this mistake of the Barmy Army. Former Indian leg spinner Amit Mishra was quick to react to this misleading tweet of Barmy Army . Amit Mishra in his tweet wrote, “Haash! British and their habit of distorting history for their own advantage.”

 

In the end, none of the teams could claim the series win. It was such a hard bought battle. England fans are very much impressed with the performance of their team in this test summer where they defeated New Zealand by 3-0 and now won the last test against India.
