Watch viral video: Suniel Shetty's energetic celebration from The Oval following India's thrilling Test win against England

Indian fans across the world were ecstatic after a thrilling six-run win against England at The Oval to level the five-match Test series 2-2 on Monday.

It was no different for celebrities, with several film stars taking to social media to celebrate team India's success overseas. Opener KL Rahul's father-in-law Suniel Shetty was in the stands in the stadium and a video of his lound roar post the win has gone viral on social media.

The Bollywood star was earlier seen waving the Indian flag cheering with all his heart, a moment recorded by his son Ahan Shetty that quickly set the internet ablaze.



Pacer Mohammed Siraj starred for India with a stunning five-wicket haul as England felt agonisingly short of the 374-run target.

The Shetty family’s celebration was a wholesome highlight amid the intensity of the game.

Ahan Shetty shared photos and videos from the stadium, captioning them: “2 incredible days at The Oval! What a game and what a win! Come on India, always my India!”

'Will rank it at the top'

Meanwhile, Rahul said that the series "will rank right at the top" among the biggest moments of Indian cricket as it was pulled off by a team that "wasn't given a chance" in the absence of giants like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

"We have seen India lift the World Cup, I mean nothing compares to lifting the World Cup. But so many doubts, so many questions from everybody about whether Test cricket will stay or not. I think both the teams and the way we've played in this series, I think we've answered that question," Rahul said at the post-match press conference.

"For us as a team, that wasn't given a chance in this series. And for us to fight back and to fight in every game and to get a result which is 2-2 might seem like a drop. But for us and for Indian Test cricket going in the future, I think this will rank right at the top," he added.

He said that this is just the beginning and that the team will win many series "outside of India and the whole team deserves it."

"For the start of the series, we had Virat Kohli retiring, Rohit Sharma retiring, we had Ashwin retiring. So three big names out of the roster in India's team," he pointed out.

Post their retirements, it is Rahul himself who is one of the senior players. He did not disappoint and was among India's top performers, scoring 532 runs across the five Tests and forged a fine partnership with the younger Yashasvi Jaiswal at the top.

"Yeah, I think it hit me when I joined the team. I was here about two weeks earlier playing India A's and it didn't hit me back then. But once I joined the team and I looked around and I didn't have Rohit and Virat and Ashwin who I played all my cricket with...

"Just to look around and not see them felt a bit weird. But yeah, that's when it hit me that everyone else is looking at me, coming to me to ask about English conditions, what they need to do, how they need to prepare."

Rahul said he relied on his experience to do his bit in not just performing but also steering the younger lot.

"And that's when it hit me that, okay, I've stepped into a different role now and it's time for me to help the younger guys. Use all the experience I've had of playing Test cricket and international cricket over the years and really put my hand up and stand up for this team.

"This moment almost feels like this is a young team that's going to stay there for a long time.
