Amazing to see how well Washington Sundar played in England: Rhodes
CHENNAI: Following the retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from the Test arena, Indian cricket has entered a new phase. Rohit and Kohli's contributions had long been central to the team's success in the longest format. But, in their absence, a young crop made its mark and showed promise in the India-England series. India's not-so-experienced batting line-up in English conditions rose to the challenge, with Shubman Gill leading from the front in his first series as captain. South African great Jonty Rhodes believes that India's incredible depth has both positive and negative impact. Bowled Over by Miya Magic: Mohammed Siraj shines brightest | IND vs ENG 5th Test 'I think India's biggest disadvantage is the fact that they have got so many players. It is not just the IPL, every state has its own league and it is a great platform for young players to showcase their skill. In India, it is so difficult to know when to retire. When you see young prodigious talent churned out and if you do not give them a chance, you possibly could not lose them but the frustrations will grow. It is kind of a double-edged sword. It is great to see the young players stepping up,' Jonty said, after the opening ceremony of the Asian Surfing Championships in Mamallapuram. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo One such player who made a strong impact was Washington Sundar . The 25-year-old all-rounder played a vital role with both bat and ball. 'Washington has played a lot of limited-overs cricket and it is amazing to see how he played in England. We have seen the importance of all-rounders and there are exciting times ahead,' Jonty, who is the brand ambassador of the Surfing Federation of India, added. There has been quite a bit of talk about the competitiveness in Test cricket, with matches often ending in less than five days. However, the fight in the India-England series came as a pleasant surprise, as the first four Tests went till the fifth day. 'When T20 started, everyone thought that Test cricket would be at risk. But I think we have seen the level of skill now added with this bravery and everyone talks about 'Bazball'. Rishabh Pant is getting himself into all sorts of interesting positions when he is playing and that just makes it exciting. 'If a five-match series comes down to Day 4 in the fifth Test, that is what you want to see. Every single Test in the series had its ups and downs, which kept people engaged throughout.' WTC win an incredible feat for SA After multiple heartbreaks in the knockout stages of ICC events, South Africa finally seized their moment by clinching the World Test Championship title. 'It was interesting because we did not win trophies for a long time. There was criticism from coaches and commentators, mainly the commentators asking who have South Africa played. It is fine because sadly, we do not play a lot of Test cricket. Test cricket is big business and if it is not against Australia or India or England, it is a draining business. 'It has been disappointing how little Test cricket the South Africans get to play. I think it is an incredible feat (WTC win), considering the limited time they spend in the format. Hopefully, now that they have won an ICC trophy, the shackles will be released.' For real-time updates, scores, and highlights, follow our live coverage of the India vs England Test match here.

ENG vs IND Report Card: A+ for Siraj and Gill, Karun-Sudharsan disappoint
India's tour of England came to a dramatic and thrilling end as the visitors clinched a stunning six-run win in the final Test at The Oval, levelling the five-match series 2-2. The defining moment of the tour came on the last day of the final Test, when Mohammed Siraj produced a sensational spell to snatch victory from the jaws of the series saw standout individual performances, there were also moments of collective brilliance and some tactical blunders. With its mix of drama, intensity, and unpredictability, the series has gone down as one for the ages and offers encouraging signs for India's long-term future across vs India, 5th Test Day 5 Highlights Here's a look at how the Indian players fared through the course of this memorable Nair, Sai Sudharsan – 3/10Both players had an opportunity to cement their place in the side but failed to leave a lasting impression. While they did score a fifty each, neither looked comfortable against the moving ball. Sudharsan might still have time on his side to settle into Test cricket, but for Nair, the window may be Jaiswal, KL Rahul – 7/10The opening pair were solid for the most part. Jaiswal continued to impress with his fearless strokeplay and temperament, notching up another century on foreign soil. Rahul played the senior partner's role admirably, digging in and blunting the new ball when needed, showing glimpses of the player who once scored a hundred at Lord' Gill – 8.5/10Tasked with captaincy and batting at the iconic No. 4 position, Gill rose to the occasion in grand fashion. He scored over 700 runs, led from the front with maturity, and often anchored the innings during pressure situations. His ability to play big innings is becoming a hallmark, though his returns on tougher pitches remain a point for Pant - 8.5/10What can you say about Rishabh Pant. Under pressure due to his poor outings in Australia and then in the IPL, Pant broke the shackles and scored important runs with the bat. Battered and bruised, he simply refused to give up, even batting with a fractured toe in the Manchester Test match. Dhruv Jurel – 6/10Jurel, though not given much time to prepare put in a braveheart of a performance behind the stumps. At Lord's he was shaky due to the slope, but he made up for that with his scintillating performance at the Thakur – 3/10The comeback wasn't ideal for Thakur, who looked off-colour with both bat and ball. Despite good domestic performances, he failed to replicate that form in English conditions, struggling to make any impact across the Reddy – 4.5/10Reddy showed glimpses of promise with the ball, particularly during the Lord's Test, but his batting fell short of expectations. He is still adjusting to the demands of Test cricket, and while this series may not have gone his way, he remains an exciting Sundar – 7/10Brought in to deepen the batting, Sundar fulfilled his role well, especially in the Manchester Test. His innings helped India stay in the game. His spell at Lord's also raised questions about whether he should've been used more with the Jadeja – 7.5/10Jadeja silenced critics with five successive 50+ scores, asserting his value as a dependable batter in the middle order. However, his bowling was less effective, possibly due to the conditions, though questions remain about his tactical use of angles and fields. advertisementBowlersJasprit Bumrah – 5/10While Bumrah remains India's premier pacer, this series was below par by his high standards. Limited to just three matches due to workload management, he failed to pick up key wickets in crunch moments. Whether this is a dip in form or fatigue remains to be Krishna – 5/10Krishna showed he can handle pressure, especially during the comeback in the final Test. Though he lacked consistency, the raw pace and bounce he generated hinted at potential that, if nurtured, could serve India Deep – 6/10While his bowling still needs refinement, Akash Deep impressed with his gritty half-century in the final Test. He has the ability to tie one end down, but India will need him to develop into a more attacking bowler to be a long-term Siraj – 9/10India's hero of the series. Siraj played all five Tests, bowled the most overs, and ended as the series' leading wicket-taker. His spell on the final day at The Oval will be remembered as one of the defining moments of the series. He wasn't always consistent, but his aggression, spirit, and belief made all the difference. Without Bumrah by his side in crucial phases, Siraj took the lead and proved he is now among the world's top fast 2-2 result in England is not just a reflection of grit but also of depth. Even without senior stalwarts like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ashwin, the team found ways to fight back and match England blow for blow. The rise of young stars, the emergence of new leaders, and Siraj's relentless fire have left Indian fans with much to look forward to in the coming years.- EndsMust Watch
