The Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy between India and England ended in a 2-2 draw, with the visitors securing a narrow six-run victory in the series-decider at The Oval.

This outcome meant that England have now failed to beat India in each of the last two home Test series.

England's failure has been highlighted by former Australia skipper Michael Clarke, who stated that a 2-2 draw is a disappointing result for the Ben Stokes-led side.

"This England team, I think, 2-2 draw in your own backyard, if I'm captain of that team, I'm disappointed with that result," Clarke said while speaking on his YouTube channel.

"I want to win, especially in my own conditions. I think they would've come into the series expecting to win," he further said.

When the Shubman Gill’s men landed in England, no one gave them a chance following the retirements of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin. But the team in transition proved everyone wrong as they gave the hosts a run of their money in all five Test matches.

Speaking on the same line, Clarke said: "I'm not taking India lightly, but I think they've overachieved, particularly with the lead-up to the series."

"If India lost the series, people would've respected and understood that. New captain, two of their most senior players not playing Test cricket, the best bowler in the world playing only three of the five matches - I think England would've gone into the series expecting to win," he added.

"India have overperformed. To level the series 2-2, that's definitely a win for India in my opinion," Clarke remarked.

England had a great chance of clinching the series 3-1 at The Oval. On the final day, the hosts needed only 35 runs to win the match, with four wickets in hand.

However, an inspirational spell from Mohammed Siraj, who was equally supported by Prasidh Krishna, saw India pull off a dramatic six-run win to level the series.
