Gill Leads From The Front With Record-Breaking Batting
Under the astute leadership of new Test captain Shubman Gill, who delivered a record-breaking performance with the bat, India showcased exceptional resilience and dominant play across all five days. Gill was named Player of the Match for his extraordinary twin centuries, scoring a magnificent 269 in the first innings and a blistering 161 in the second. This made him the first player in Test history to achieve such a remarkable feat in the same match. His aggregate of 430 runs is the second-highest by any batter in a single Test match.Akash Deep’s Sensational Ten-Wicket Haul Seals VictoryThe final day saw England resume at 72/3, chasing an improbable target of 608. However, the Indian bowling attack, spearheaded by a sensational performance from young pacer Akash Deep, proved relentless. Akash Deep, stepping in for the rested Jasprit Bumrah, was the unlikely hero, claiming his maiden five-wicket haul in Test cricket with figures of 6/99 in the second innings, complementing his 4/88 in the first for a match haul of 10 wickets. His precise line and length, coupled with subtle movement, consistently troubled the English batsmen. Mohammed Siraj also provided crucial breakthroughs, contributing significantly to England’s collapse.England was eventually bowled out for 271 in their second innings, succumbing to the sustained pressure from the Indian bowlers. Jamie Smith was the lone resistance for England, scoring a commendable 88.Captain Gill Hails Team Effort

This is a great achievement for us.”
