 India secures Historic Test victory over England in Rajkot


In a display of dominance, India clinched a historic Test win against England in Rajkot, emerging victorious by a staggering margin of 434 runs. This victory propelled India to a commanding 2-1 lead in the series, leaving England to ponder over missed opportunities.

The match witnessed a dramatic turn of events, with India initially facing trouble at 33/3 before staging a remarkable recovery, thanks to stellar performances by Ravindra Jadeja and Rohit Sharma. Jadeja's promotion to the fifth position proved pivotal as he crafted a splendid century, forming a crucial partnership with the skipper and guiding India to a formidable total of 445 in the first innings.

In response, England seemed to be in a commanding position after day two, particularly with Duckett's dazzling century and the absence of Ashwin from the Indian squad. However, India's resurgence on day three, led by the dynamic duo of Bumrah and Kuldeep, turned the tide in their favor. Siraj's exceptional bowling performance further bolstered India's position, restricting England to a modest total and granting India a significant lead of 126 runs.

As the match progressed, India continued to assert their dominance, with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sarfaraz Khan wreaking havoc with their aggressive batting display. Jaiswal's audacious innings, highlighted by an astonishing double century, left England's bowlers struggling for answers. Sarfaraz's aggressive stroke-play complemented Jaiswal's onslaught, further solidifying India's grip on the match.

In the final innings, England faltered against India's spinners, succumbing to pressure and crumbling under the weight of the daunting target. Ravindra Jadeja's five-wicket haul, coupled with contributions from Kuldeep Yadav and R Ashwin, dashed England's hopes of staging a comeback. Despite a spirited effort from Mark Wood, England's innings came to an end, handing India a resounding victory.

This triumph marks India's biggest Test win by runs, underscoring their dominance on home soil and highlighting their resilience in the face of adversity. As the series progresses to Ranchi, India will look to maintain their momentum, while England faces an uphill task of regrouping and bouncing back to salvage the series.
