With Joe Root and Ben Stokes' massive centuries giving the Three Lions a gigantic 311-run lead over India, which scored 358 in their first innings, the task of achieving a win looks near impossible, with India having scored 174/2, with Gill (78*) and KL (87*) standing strong after the visito
The number three debate was once again up following a shaky start to India's second innings at Manchester. Aiming to overcome a 311-run deficit, Chris Woakes sent opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sudharsan both packing for ducks. In the previous innings though, Sudharsan had shown signs of promis
Putting the innings back on track after Chris Woakes reduced India to 0/2, just minutes after the hosts had conceded a 311-run lead, Gill-KL will be aiming to eat further into this lead by continuing their 174-run stand. The motive would be either to play out the whole day for a draw, or
Stokes, who had troubles with his left leg on day three which forced him to walk off the field, returned to bat and scored his first Test century in two years, slamming a brilliant 141 in 198 balls, with 11 fours and three sixes to take England to 669 in response to India's 358 in the first
After Team India was down and out at 0/2, conceding a 311-run first innings lead, Gill and Rahul led their side out of massive trouble, offering fans two sessions worth of old-school, restraint-filled Test cricket. Both were chanceless for the most part, piercing through the gaps for boundar
Despite these, he doesn't see it as a major concern, highlighting Sai's good batting in the first inning of the fourth Test at Manchester as a positive aspect. India went with Sai at No.3 in the series opener, but he made zero in the first innings and 30 in the second.
Shubman Gill continues to etch his name in the history books. On Day 4 of the Manchester Test, the Indian captain went past Virat Kohli's 2014-15 tally in Australia to record the most runs by an Indian batter in a SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia) tour.
India recovered after initial shocks in their second innings of the Fourth Test but the team is still in deep waters with England scoring a massive 669 in their first innings and getting an overall lead of 311 over the visitors.
Rahul achieved his feat in his outing against the Three Lions in the fourth test at Manchester. He has scored 9,050 runs in 219 matches at an average of 40.04, with 19 centuries and 58 fifties in 256 innings.
After an early jolt just before Lunch, India found stability in the second session of Day 4, thanks to a composed partnership between skipper Shubman Gill and opener KL Rahul. The duo ensured there were no further hiccups as India went into Tea at 86/2 in Manchester Test on Saturday
This is England's second-highest total against India, only behind 710/7d at Edgbaston, 2011. India had a poor start to their second innings, losing Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan in the first over for ducks each. India were 1/2 at Lunch with KL Rahul 1* and Shubman Gill 0* unbeaten on th
