Ben Duckett exploded 149 to help the hosts seal a comfortable 4 -track victory, canceling the Rishabh Pant Rishabh display.
Shubman Gill’s first test as Captain of India ended with a heartbreaking loss while England took a lead in the 1-0 series in Headingley, Leeds. Chasing 350 to win the last day, Ben Duckett exploded 149 to help the hosts seal a comfortable 4 gates victory in the 1st Ind VS Eng. The Duckett Blitzkrieg defeated the work of Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah who circumvented valiant efforts.
India thus became the first team to lose a test match in which they were five centuries. Rishabh Pant scored one in each round, while Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Kl Rahul bypassed the rest. England had 2, with Ollie Pope’s Hunance in the 1st round followed by Duckett’s in the second. Harry Brook was 99 years old. It was also the second successive home test for England vs India where they hunted over 350 years. Ben Stokes and Co had driven 378 in Edgbaston in 2022 with hundreds of Root and Root. Here are the strengths of the 1st ind vs engine test:
Abandoned sockets do not win the games
India will return to this defeat and feel that it was very self-inflicted. The side of Shubman Gill dropped 8 catches in the Ind Vs Eng 1s test, most in the past 5 years. Yashasvi Jaiswal was guilty of grass 4, making him the holder of the joint record for most drops by an Indian. Duckett was the luckiest, winning a stay three times to plunder 64 and 149 in Headingley.
Calm Rishabh Pant beats records
Rishabh Pant is the India Crisis Man in Test Cricket in recent years. He has looted records to have fun in Leeds, becoming only the second window to score for two centuries in a test. What was more impressive was Pant’s ability to soak the pressure and show the restraint, striking for long hours in both sleeves. It is despite his ultra aggressive state of mind. The left-hander is a Lynchpin in the line of Indian strikers and a good tour is crucial for the chances of India to bounce back into the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy.
The upper command of India shines, collapse the lower command
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s pensions meant that India has entered with a range of largely inexperienced strikers for the India VS England series. However, these concerns were dissipated in a display of a fine striker. Yashasvi Jaiswal caressed a century during his first test in England. Shubman Gill broke his first century abroad in his first match as a captain. KL Rahul made a ton in 2nd rounds, his 3rd in England.
And while India was 5 centuries, they had two major collapses. India went from 430/3 to 471 in the first rounds. In the second round, there were 333/4 before collapsing at 364. On occasion, visitors had the opportunity to withdraw England from the competition. However, their last 5 strikers were unable to add a 65 handset from both rounds to see their fall. In comparison, the lower order of England marked 189 to reduce the first rounds of India to only 6 points.
Jasprit Bumrah – Lone Guerrier of India
The Bowling attack from India was at best dull, allowing England to make their second pursuit of all time. Jasprit Bumrah was the only warrior taking 5/83 in England 465. The Indian spearhead did not have the necessary support of Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna who were expensive. In the second round, Bumrah looked worn without a counter in his 19 Overs. Siraj and Krishna were better on the last day, but the last one still conceded more than 6.
Ben Ducket-Bazball Basher
Nothing spreads the bazball more than Ben Duckett. In what is a great year for philosophy, Duckett made a dream start. The left -hander looked most comfortable against Jasprit Bumrah, marking a flow of 64 in the first round. He went to Full Blitzkrieg in the second, breaking a superb 149 out of 170 to pin India on the ground. The 30-year-old is one of the stars of the format in England and will be crucial for them by trying to rely on their 1-0 advance in the India VS England series.
The era of the captain of Shubman Gill begins
The era of the captain of Shubman Gill began in a similar way to that of Vira Kohli when he led India to a heartbreaking loss in Adélaide in 2013. Like Kohli, Gill caressed a sparkling century and a was on the maps but slipped on the last day. As a captain, the 25 -year -old had a nervous match. He supported Bumrah with attacker fields but was often guilty of going defensive with the rest of the Bowling attack. The abandoned catches and the capricious bowling alley did not help the beginner skipper, but he would try to learn and improve quickly while India moves to Birmingham.
