The India vs England Test series has commenced. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill have already struck centuries. Jaiswal has created a record, while Gill may have broken a major ICC rule. Sai Sudharsan has found a connection with Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, and Virat Kohli. Speaking of Kohli, he won’t be missed, says an ex-England captain. Jasprit Bumrah should be even if not 100% fit as another ex-England captain. And two speedsters, Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, might just play in the series.

What a way to make your Test captaincy debut for India. Shubman Gill has scored his maiden Test century in England and a first in SENA countries. Taking over Virat Kohli’s number four position, Gill ended the day unbeaten at 127. However, he might have broken an ICC rule during his incredible knock. A piece of clothing may get Gill into trouble. It might be a hefty fine or perhaps even more. Click here to find out more about it.
Jaiswal become Headingley Hero
Yashasvi Jaiswal has become the first batter in Test cricket to score hundreds in Australia and England in his first match. Jaiswal scored a hundred in Perth last year and with his incredible 101-run knock in Headingley, he’s achieved this feat. Having made his debut in 2023, three of Jaiswal’s five hundreds have come away from home.
Virat Kohli’s average in England
Former England captain Michael Vaughan reckons that Shubman Gill’s Team India wouldn’t miss Virat Kohli that much. He justifies his statement by saying that Kohli averaged a mere 33 in England. From purely a batter’s perspective, not having him won’t hurt Team India. But Vaughan thinks Gill will miss his presence in the dressing room.
