Test captain
Shubman Gill
acknowledged his Gujarat Titans colleague Sai Sudharsan's excellent catch with the words, "Catching yaar." The footage concluded with Mohammed Siraj's celebratory leap after successfully completing a catch.
Following the retirement of batting stalwarts Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from Test cricket in the previous month, India faced a significant experience deficit. The team management responded by promoting younger players to usher in a fresh phase.
The five-Test series against England commences June 20 at Leeds and continues until August 2025. With the departure of senior batsmen Rohit and Virat from the longest format, the responsibility now rests with Shubman's reconstructed team to demonstrate their capabilities in challenging English conditions.

Pat Cummins Breaks Record Of Best Bowling Figures In Tests By A Captain At Lord's
Last Updated: Cummins dismissed six South African batters for 28 runs in his quota of 18.1 overs in the first innings. Pat Cummins picked up 6 wickets for 28 runs in 18.1 overs for Australia on Thursday (June 12) in South Africa's first innings of the WTC 2025 final currently underway at Lord's. The figures of 6 for 28 helped the 32-year-old fast bowler break the record of best bowling figures in Tests by a captain at Lord's. Before Cummins, only one captain—Bob Willis of England—ever managed to take a six-wicket haul in Tests at Lord's. During the second innings of the India-England Test played at Lord's from June 10 to 15, 1982, Willis dismissed six Indian batters for 101 runs in 28 overs of the second innings. Best bowling figures in Tests at Lord's (by captains) 6/28 by Pat Cummins (Australia) vs South Africa in 2025 6/101 by Bob Willis (England) vs India in 1982 5/35 by Gubby Allen (England) vs India in 1936 5/42 by Gubby Allen (England) vs India in 1936 5/69 by Daniel Vettori (New Zealand) vs England in 2008 Cummins opened his wicket account in the WTC 2025 final by dismissing Wiaan Mulder (6) on Wednesday and then got rid of Temba Bavuma (36) in the morning session of the second day's play. In the second session, he dismissed Kyle Verreynne (13) and Marco Jansen (0) in one over and then picked up David Bedingham's (45) wicket on the second ball of the 56th over of South Africa's innings. Bedingham top-scored for South Africa, but before he could complete his fifty, he was caught by Alex Carey behind the wickets. Cummins, who now holds the record for taking the most wickets in WTC finals as well as ICC finals, wrapped up South Africa's innings by getting Kagiso Rabada (1) caught out by Beau Webster on the first ball of the 58th over. The wicket of Rabada was Cummins' 300th wicket in Test cricket for the Baggy Greens. He is the eighth Aussie to dismiss 300 or more batters in the five-day format of the game. Cummins' super show with the ball helped Aussies bowl South Africa out for 138 runs in the first innings and take a crucial lead of 74 runs. For Australia, apart from Cummins, Mitchell Starc picked up two wickets, and one South African batter was sent back to the pavilion by Josh Hazlewood, whereas Keshav Maharaj got run out in an attempt to take two runs.
