India England test series News

Taking to the social media platform X, Tharoor showered praise on the Indian side for their resilience and singled out pace bowler Mohammed Siraj for his match-winning performance. His efforts with the ball turned the tide in India’s favor during a tense final session in London.

Gavaskar also took issue with the sarcastic commentary directed at Jadeja and Sundar, who were both in the 80s at the time. As Jadeja and Sundar continued to bat, reaching their hundreds against these occasional bowlers, sarcastic remarks followed from the England camp. England Leads the series 2-1 going into 5th Test.

As India takes on England in the first Test at Headingley, Leeds, a new era in Indian cricket begins. Indian team dominated the Da1 finishing on 359/3. Shubman Gill scored a fine century along with Yashasvi Jaiswal.  

Interestingly, both Kohli and Ashwin will be absent from the series. Spinner made it clear that while legends like Kohli have contributed a lot for the game, nobody is bigger than game itself. The first Test will be played on June 20.

Shubman Gill is set to lead India’s Test team for the first time on their upcoming tour of England, starting June 20. Jos Buttler warned Shubman Gill of high expectations. Shubman is India's 37th Test captain.

The hosts lost six wickets in the final session to put the visitors in a comfortable position on Day 1. Ravichandran Ashwin (4/60) was the pick of the Indian bowlers taking three vital wickets of Cook, Bairstow and Buttler.
