IND vs ENG: After a 0-1 loss in Hyderabad, India wins 2-1 in Rajkot. India was dominant in all departments in the Rajkot Test. This led to their largest-ever victory in history. Jaiswal scored his second double-century.

Sarfaraz Khan, a debutant, and Dhruv Jurel were both impressed. This latter also did a great job with the gloves. After the Tea, it was all Jadeja. India won the match by 434 runs, and Jadeja picked up five wickets in addition to his century.

Sarfaraz Khan and Yashasvi Jaiswal unleashed carnage as they scored their second half-century in his first Test.

The pair put on a 172-run unbeaten stand for the 6th wicket in 158 balls, helping India set England a mammoth 557 target to chase. India declared at 430/4.

Shubman Gil and Kuldeep Yadav had started the day well, but the latter was disappointed to fall at 91. Jaiswal, who had retired after being injured on the third day of play, returned to the crease and resumed his innings at 106.

Jaiswal, Sarfaraz, and others were cautious at first and then exploded in the last 30 minutes of the session to take India’s lead up to 440 by lunch. Jaiswal was one run short of 150 runs in his second successive Test.

On Day 3, Jaiswal displayed almost all aspects of his game. He made a stunning catch to remove Joe Root from the game early on in the day. This was what sparked England’s collapse.

The event changed the match. England had been dominant up until that point, but India took control of the match over the day. Jaiswal played a sombre innings in order to reach his half-century during the early innings of India.

Then he unleashed some T20 shots to reach his third test century in only his 12th innings. Jaiswal went from 35 runs off 73 balls to 88 runs off 101 balls at one point. That’s 53 runs in only 28 balls.

Jaiswal began to have back pain after scoring his hundred. The physiotherapist was eventually called, and Jaiswal had to leave. After some attention from a physio, he tried to play a few overs.

The opener decided to leave after the over, having scored 104 from 133 balls. Nine fours and five sixes peppered his innings. Rajat Patidar was his replacement but fell to Tom Hartley for a 10-ball Duck. Kuldeep then saw off 15 deliveries for three runs.

Player Of The Match: Ravindra Jadeja is awarded the PLAYER of THE MATCH award for his outstanding hundred and five-wicket haul. He spoke about his hundred in the first match when he was trying to form a partnership with Rohit.

He also says that the wicket is great for batting and that they took advantage of the chance to bat first and scored those runs. He ends by saying it is hard to pick wickets when the surface is like this. And he’s very pleased with how they bowled.
