In the Manchester Test, England have scored 669 runs in the first innings. Team India’s first innings was reduced to 358 runs, due to which England got a huge lead of 311 runs. Ben Stokes and Joe Root composed history by scoring centuries for the English team. Root scored 150 runs and Stokes scored 141 runs. At the same time, the most successful bowler for India was Ravindra Jadeja, who took a total of 4 wickets.

The first innings of the Indian team was reduced to 358 runs. Sai Sudarshan, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant played a half -century innings for India. When England team came to batting, Ben Docket and Jack Croi broke down on Indian bowlers. Docket scored 94 runs and Croley scored 84 runs. Oli Pope also contributed 71 runs, but the Indian bowlers succeeded in preventing all three top order batsmen from scoring centuries.

Broken 61 year old record

England have made the biggest Test score in one innings at the Manchester ground. Till now, Australia had a record for scoring the biggest score on Manchester, which scored 656 runs in a single innings against England in 1964, but now England have scored 669 runs and have made this record in their name.

Historical centuries of root and stokes

Joe Root scored 150 runs in this match, due to which he has come second in terms of scoring the most runs in the history of Test cricket. Now only Sachin Tendulkar is ahead of him, who scored 15,921 runs in the Test. At the same time, Root has scored 13,409 runs. In this match, he made a record of scoring the most Test century against India.

On the other hand, Stokes has become only the 5th player in the world to take 5 wickets in one Test and score a century. He is the first Test captain of England to do so. Along with this, he has also done the feat of scoring 7000 runs in Tests and taking 200 wickets.

The Indian team has never won a Test match in Manchester. In such a situation, England’s 311 -run lead, Team India is giving the possibility of defeat of an innings. It will be very difficult to cross this 311 -run lead because batting on the pitch has become very difficult on the fourth day.

The fourth Test match between India and England will be played from 23 July (Ind vs Eng 4th Test Date) at the Old Trafford Maidan in Manchester. After the completion of three matches, England is leading 2–1 in the series. This will be a do or die match for Team India, because it will be impossible to win his series with defeat or draw. Earlier, the fourth Test starts, let us know that India or England on the Manchester ground, whose pan is heavy?

First of all, we know how India and England have a head-to-head record in Test cricket? A total of 139 Test matches have been played between the two countries so far, out of which 53 times England and Team India have been victorious on 36 occasions. At the same time, India-England 50 Test matches are left on the draw.

How is the record of both in Manchester?

Talking about the Old Trafford Maidan in Manchester, so far 9 Test matches have been played between India and England, in which four times the England team has won and the other five matches have been missed. Team India has never won a Test match at the Old Trafford ground in the history so far. India came to this ground in the year 1974, when it lost by 113 runs to England.

India and England last clashed at this ground in 2014. In that match, England scored 367 runs in an innings. In response to this, the Indian team was soaked in such a way that they could not score 367 runs even in the innings. Finally, Team India lost that match innings and 54 runs.

Indian batsmen bad condition in Manchester

Most of the current team’s cricketers have never played Test matches at the Old Trafford ground. Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar, who scored the most runs on this ground, was 242 runs in five innings here. No Indian batsman, who made her debut in the 21st century, has not been able to touch the 200 runs in Test matches here. These figures are proving somewhere that it is going to be very difficult for Team India to win in Manchester.

First day of third test

England decided to bat first. Nitish Kumar Reddy gave India the first success, he caught the 14th of the innings and Ben Docket (23) was caught behind the wicket in his first over. After this, he also caught Zack Croly (18) on the last ball of this over by wicket -keeper Rishabh Pant.

In the third Test match against England, KL Rahul has been seen captaining Team India. Yes, the captain of the Indian team was changed in the middle of Lord’s Test. This happened when Indian captain Shubman Gill and vice -captain Rishabh Pant were not present on the ground. Recall that after Rohit Sharma’s Test retirement, Rahul was also not seen as an alternative to captaincy.

KL Rahul became captain

In the Lord’s Test, the England team selected the first batting. In the second session of the first day, Rishabh Pant suffered a finger injury while holding the ball. He was seen groaning in pain on the field, after which he went out of the field, Dhruv Jurlel replaced him for wicketkeeping for Team India. On the other hand, Shubman Gill also left the field in the middle match and went out. The reason why Shubman Gill went out of the ground has not been revealed. In the absence of Gill and Pant, KL Rahul was seen captaining the Indian team.

Rahul has been the vice -captain of the Indian team, but was removed from the post after the series against Australia in 2023. At the same time, Rahul has not played any T20 matches after the 2022 T20 World Cup. After Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s Test retirement, KL Rahul along with Yashasvi Jaiswal has taken over the opening in the Indian Test team.

England Loss Reasons Edgbaston Test: In the Birmingham Test, India defeated England by a margin of 336 runs. This is the first time in the history of Test cricket when England have lost against India at Edgbaston ground. In the fourth innings, the English team had to score 608 runs to win, but in response, the entire team of England was reduced to just 271 runs and lost the match by 336 runs. Know here what the 3 biggest reasons for England’s defeat were.

1. Choosed bowling by winning the toss

England’s defeat was almost decided before the match started. He had decided to bowl first on the pitch of Edgbaston ground. If the weather had been raining in Birmingham from the very first day, the bowlers could have dominated, but Stokes had chosen the first bowling on a flat pitch. Stokes should also keep in mind that it has always been difficult to chase a big score in the fourth innings in Edgbaston’s ground. The Indian team took full advantage of the circumstances after receiving the first batting invitation.

2. England could not understand Akashdeep

When India gave rest to Jaspreet Bumrah for the second Test, the team management was very criticized by calling this decision completely wrong. Akashdeep was replaced by Akashdeep in the playing XI. Who would have thought that for England like Akashdeep would prove to be like ‘out of syllabus question’. Akashdeep took 4 wickets in the first innings and 10 wickets in the second innings. Unlike everyone’s expectation, Akashdeep proved to be the deadliest bowler of this match.

3. Bazball was heavy

England got a target of 608 runs in the fourth innings. If there is such a big goal in front, the batsmen should have played firmly, but the English batsmen were ghosts of ‘Bazball’. Ben Docket was dismissed for playing fast. Although the Oli Pope scored 24 runs in a strict style, Harry Brook, who scored a century in the first innings, was also in a rapid way of scoring runs, but LBW was out against Akashdeep. The result of this was that in the second innings, half of the England team returned to the pavilion for a score of 80, after which she could not recover.

Sachin tendulkar on shubman gill: Tomorrow i.e. on Friday, India’s new Test captain Shubman Gill’s fire test will begin. From June 20, the first Test match will be played between India and England in Leeds. Prior to the opening of the five -match Test series, the Lord of cricket has been given the new captain Shubman Gill as Gurumantra.

Sachin Tendulkar believes that Shubman Gill, who is going to take command of the team in the difficult period of change in Indian cricket, should be given proper time and support. He also advised the new captain to focus on his strategy without thinking on the comments outside the dressing room.

25 -year -old Shubman Gill will be the captain of India in the five -Test series against England. Let us know that the fourth cycle of the World Test Championship will begin with India and England Test series. At the same time, the Indian team will land without their three most experienced players Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravichandran Ashwin who have retired from Test cricket.

In an interview given to the news agency PTI before the first Test in Headingley, Leeds, Sachin Tendulkar said, “I think he (Gill) will also have to give time. He also needs to support. I think there will be many suggestions that he should do or do like this, but what should he want to do in the team’s strategy.

Tendulkar further said, whatever decisions are being made, they are in the interest of the team or not and whom should he pay attention to. He should not pay attention to external voices, in which people will say that he is more aggressive or more defensive or similar things. People will continue to give opinion.

He said, finally it means what is happening in the dressing room and what he is doing in the interest of the team. This is important, nothing else.

Tendulkar, who has played five Test series between 1990 and 2011 in England, believes that the batsmen will have to mold themselves according to the situation. He said, you will have to bathe the situation and bat according to it. When you understand the situation, you can mentally make your strategy in that way. There cannot be a unilateral traffic that my game is like this and I will play like this.

Tendulkar said, the batsmen will have to have a flexible attitude. If you do not do so, you may have to bear heavy brunt. You should know when to play aggressive and when defensive.

Despite the challenges, India has very positive aspects. For example, batsmen like Karun Nair and Sai Sudarshan may not have played Test cricket in England, but have played county cricket for North Committees and Sarre.

Tendulkar said, they have all played in England. Even though international cricket has not been played, but has played cricket in England. They are not unaware of the circumstances here. He has played in South Africa, in New Zealand, in Australia. A lot is learned from all these experiences. If we practice all these experiences, then the result will be good.

Asked if the strategy to remove two spinners would be correct, Tendulkar said, it will depend on the pitch. There is grass on the pitch or not. If there is no grass, two spinners can be removed.

Gary kiresten on shubman gill: The Indian cricket team has to play a five -match Test series in England from tomorrow i.e. Friday, June 20. The first Test match between India and England is to be played in Leeds from tomorrow. Earlier, former India head coach Gary Kirsten has given a big statement on young captain Shubman Gill.

Former India head coach Gary Kirsten has supported the new Test captain Shubman Gill, saying that he is all set to make a mark in international cricket with the five -match series starting against England in Leeds from Friday. Giri Kirsten, who is a mentor of the Gujarat Titans, the IPL team captained by Gill, believes that 25 -year -old Shubman Gill has all the qualities of becoming a good leadership.

Know what Gary Kirsten said on Shubman Gill

Gary Kirsten told Jio Hotstar, “I think Shubman Gill will prove to be a great captain. He is a smart cricketer. He has a good mind for the game and understands his game. He is very talented and a good person who I think that is very important.”

This legendary coach further said, “One thing I like the most about Shubman Gill is that he does what he says. He is very hardworking and this is a great example for other players. I think he is ready to make a blast internationally.”

Matthew Hayden’s opinion is different

Former Australian opener Matthew Hayden said, “Gill will have to strengthen her place in Test cricket. It takes time to prepare her legacy and become legend. It is not right to compare him to Virat Kohli. We have seen him as captain and has the ability to become a good captain.”
