Ind vs eng 4th test: In the Manchester Test, the left -handed batsmen of Team India showed such a feat, which had never happened in the history of Test cricket before. Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Sai Sudarshan, Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal, these five ‘Lefty’ batsmen set a new record by playing a half -century or above innings in the same Test against England.
On the first day of this historic Test, India was trailing by 311 runs in the first innings. The Indian team was in a state of crisis and was on the verge of defeat, but the left -handed batsmen not only saved the match by showing restraint and then attack, but also pushed England to the backfoot completely.
Three ‘Lefty’ batter shines in the first innings
Yashasvi Jaiswal contributed 58 runs in 107 balls with the help of 10 fours and a six.
Sai Sudarshan played a concrete innings of 61 runs in 151 balls with the help of 7 fours.
Rishabh Pant scored 54 runs in 75 balls despite a broken thumb.
Two centuries ‘Lefty’ shone in second innings
Ravindra Jadeja scored an unbeaten 107 in 185 balls.
Washington Sundar played an unbeaten 101 in 206 balls.
Together these two players played an unwavering 203 -run partnership for the fifth wicket and brought the match to a draw. India batted continuously for the fourth and fifth day and played all three sessions on the last day.
Story of Team India’s return
The foundation of India’s return was laid by captain Shubman Gill (103 runs, 238 balls) and KL Rahul (90 runs, 230 balls) by a strong 188 runs for the third wicket, but the story of Jadeja and Sundar reached the story. The century of these two also ended the last expectations of England’s victory.
This happened for the first time in history
This is the first time in Indian Test history when five left -handed batsmen have scored a half -century or more in a single Test match.
Now India is behind 1-2 in the series, but the fifth Test is to start from July 31 and India will have a chance to equalize the series.
