THE MANCHESTER RESURRECTION

  The Manchester Resurrection This has been a series of fight and valour from the Indian team...despite many loopholes like retirement of 3 legends and Bumrah not playing all tests they still have fought till their last breath and the last day in each and every test so far ... This test was not any different.There were evident problems with the XI selection and the bowling but India still managed to avoid a series defeat and keep them alive for a crack at the decider by batting their hearts out for 5 sessions . Gill became the Indian captain and Asian Captain with most 100s on a tour to England[4*] and the Asian batter with most runs in a test series in England[722*] Rahul became the 2nd Indian opener after Sunil Gavaskar to score 500+ runs in an away test tour[511*] . It has been a series which could go on to settle the debate for The Greatest All-Rounder in cricket with England's Stokes taking more WICKETS in this series than Prime Bumrah [17>14] and Jadeja scoring...

CRICKET:A HEARTBREAKING YET BEAUTIFUL GAME.

  CRICKET: A HEARTBREAKING YET BEAUTIFUL GAME After the 3rd test between India and England ... I was forced to realize that even if you are giving your absolute best and are on top of the game or in life,   small moments from the past and a little bit of less luck on your side can haunt you and bring you down. India being on top for 13/15 days of cricket played in this series, scoring a lot more aggregate runs than England in the 3 tests[2295>1945] , hitting 3 more individual 100s[8>5] and taking the same no. Of wickets[55] at a lower average[36.05<42.6] are still somehow 2-1 down in the series. It's ironic how everyone trolled the commentators for using the word 'Slope' a lot , but when Siraj Middled the ball off Bashir , he got bowled due to the SLOPE . This is the Review of the narrowest and most thrilling match of the Lords Cricket Ground [In terms of runs{22}] . BATTING: In the 1st innings , England started steadily with an opening partnership of 43 ...

THE CREATORS OF HISTORY: The 2nd TEST REVIEW

THE CREATORS OF HISTORY There's something about the Indian team that makes them thrive and bounce back the hardest whenever they are counted out, criticized, and considered the underdogs. Be it Gabba 2021 , Cape Town 2024 , Perth 2024 , or Edgbaston 2025 ... it seems like they have a habit of breaching fortresses . With the victory in the 2nd test at Edgbaston , India became the 1st Asian team to beat England at Edgbaston , and it was India's 1st victory ever at the ground . Shubman Gill becomes the 2nd Indian after Sunil Gavaskar to score a double hundred and a hundred in the same match and the 1st to score 200 and 150 in the same test match . He also scored a total of 430 runs in this match, which is the 2nd highest in a match ever . There were a lot of doubts over the team selection , but these questions were to be answered perfectly over the course of 5 days. A BATTER's PARADISE: It was a match where a total of 1673 runs were scored across 4 innings, making it ...
