India truly surprised everyone with its remarkable fightback in the second innings of the fourth Test. Trailing behind England, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, and Shubman Gill stepped up and frustrated Ben Stokes with their stellar performance on the field. Their resilience not only kept India in the game but also lifted the spirits of the crowd.
Ravindra Jadeja reached a special milestone by becoming the first Indian to score 1000 runs and take 30 wickets in a foreign country. Meanwhile, Shubman Gill carved his own record as the first captain to score four centuries in an away series. KL Rahul, however, had a relatively modest outing compared to the trio of Gill, Jadeja, and Sundar.
Former cricketer Gautam Gambhir lauded the Indian team, emphasizing how they were written off by fans and critics but still fought valiantly for the country. Expressing pride in the team’s grit, he especially praised Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, saying:“If someone has the opportunity to get his first Test hundred, wouldn’t you allow him to do it? I think both those guys deserved to have their hundred, and fortunately, they got it.”
On the other hand, Ben Stokes was named Player of the Match for leading from the front and delivering his second successful Test performance, contributing with both bat and ball.
India managed to draw the match against a strong England side—an outcome that seemed difficult at one stage. With the series now standing at 2-1, India will need to avoid defeat in the final Test in London to secure the series win.
