Umpire Kumar Dharmasena hailed Mohammed Siraj's match-winning delivery in the fifth and final Test against England at The Oval.

Siraj finished off the Oval Test in spectacular fashion with a ferocious 143kph yorker that shattered Gus Atkinson's stumps and powered India to a thrilling 6 run victory -- India's narrowest Test win by runs -- which helped them draw the five match series 2-2.

Dharmasena,

who stood at the bowler's end during the moment, called it a privilege to witness the magic up close.

'So lucky to witness this ball from the best seat in the house,' Dharmasena noted on Instagram.
