India secured a resounding victory over England by 434 runs in the third Test match held in Rajkot on Sunday, marking their largest win margin in Test cricket to date. Their previous record victory came against New Zealand in 2021, with a 372-run triumph at the Wankhede Stadium.
The victory against England was a result of a collective team effort, characterized by impressive performances from the batting unit, which posted scores of over 400 in both innings. In the final innings, the Indian bowlers displayed their prowess by dismissing the English side for a mere 122 runs.
Yashasvi Jaiswal emerged as the standout performer with the bat, clinching his second double-century in Test cricket during India’s second innings. Earlier, captain Rohit Sharma and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja laid a solid foundation with centuries in the first innings. Jadeja further showcased his versatility by claiming a five-wicket haul in the final innings, adding to his century – a feat he has accomplished for the second time in a single Test match.
In the first innings, Mohammed Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav excelled as the pick of the Indian bowlers, with Siraj scalping four wickets.
