IND vs ENG Test Series Review
The first test of the series was played at Hyderabad. England batted first but Indian bowlers were all over them. Bowled out on cheap, England were 190 runs behind India after the first innings. Ollie Pope’s excellent 196 proved to be a revival for England and they posted a 231-run target on the board. The Indian batting failed in the chase and lost the match by 28 runs.
The second match was played at Visakhapatnam. India got a slow and shaky start as they lost two wickets under 90 runs in 30 overs. When the entire team was struggling to hold on to the crease, Jaiswal was the man of the moment as he produced a double hundred on such a surface. India got a lead of 143 runs in the first innings as Jasprit Bumrah ramped through the England batting lineup. Shubman Gill also got some runs off the bat and scored a much-awaited hundred and India managed to bundle up England 106 runs short of the target.
The series was on equal scores now. India and England headed to Rajkot for the third test and the home team again won the toss and batted first. Sarfaraz and Dhruv Jurel were the two debutants in the match and both made their presence significant. Batting first, India posted 445 runs on the board even after falling 33 for 3 at the top. The credit goes to skipper Sharma and Number 1 all-rounder of the world Ravindra Jadeja, who posted magnificent hundreds. Sarfaraz smashed a quick half-century and Dhruv also got close to 50.
England were finding it tough to bat even on the comparatively flatter wicket of Rajkot and only Duckett cracked the code of batting on that surface. He smashed 153 runs with a strike rate of over 100 and helped England to save the follow-on. India continued with the lead of 126 and Yashasvi Jaiswal just pounded on England’s bowling unit. Gill got an unfortunate runout at a hard-scored 91, Sarfaraz bashed an amazing 68, and Yashasvi Jaiswal amassed 214 runs in the innings. Hence, India got a lead of 557 runs and there was only one visible result.
Run-out took Duckett off the park, an absolute peach from Bumrah was enough to get Crawley out of the ground. It seemed like the Englishmen had already left the chase and they were just batting as a formality. The classical spin mystery of Jadeja was all over their heads and with a fifer, Jadeja ended the match in India’s favor with a record 434-run win.

Who would have thought that in an IND vs ENG Test series, consisting of prominent names like Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Ben Stokes, and Joe Root, a young Indian southpaw would top the batting chart? But yes, he is there! Yashasvi Jaiswal is the highest run scorer of the series with 545 runs in 6 innings. He has the best batting average in the series well over 100 runs.
He has struck as many as 22 sixes in the series in just 3 matches and already he has broken the ‘most sixes in a series’ record. India have found a gem and proudly India’s cricketing future is in safe hands.
England’s Ben Duckett is next on the list. With 288 runs in 3 matches, the left-handed opener has been the standout performer from the English camp. Out of his 288 runs, 153 came out in a single innings so he scored 135 runs in 5 innings before that.
Ollie Pope is third with 285 runs in his bag and Zak Crawley is sixth with 226 runs. Only three Englishmen have scored over 200 runs in the series till now and this is the reason why the scoreline is 2-1 in favor of India.
