India celebrated their cricketers after achieving a remarkable draw against England in the fourth Test match on Monday. The team faced a deficit of 311 runs after the first innings and trailed 2-1 in the five-match series. Captain Shubman Gill delivered his fourth century while Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar remained unbeaten with hundreds to preserve the series. KL Rahul contributed 90 runs to the rescue effort. The fightback proved extraordinary after India lost two wickets without scoring on Saturday.
Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar praised the comeback on social media platforms. Media outlets described the result as feeling like victory despite the draw. Gill established new records during his maiden captaincy series by accumulating 722 runs against England. His performance surpassed teammate Yashasvi Jaiswal's previous mark of 712 runs from the 2023-24 series. Head coach Gautam Gambhir defended Gill against earlier criticism about his overseas batting capabilities.
The team added wicketkeeper Narayan Jagadeesan after Rishabh Pant suffered a fractured foot injury. Dhruv Jurel will likely handle wicketkeeping duties in the decisive fifth Test at the Oval starting Thursday.
