He Has Ability To Rattle The Opposition...: Sachin Tendulkars Special Praise For THIS Indian Star After His Heroics In England
Legendary Sachin Tendulkar lavished praise on veteran India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja for his impressive performance in the recently concluded 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy against England. As per Tendulkar, Jadeja is the one player who manages to rattle the opposition. During the series against England, ICC No.1 Ranked Test all-rounder Jadeja scored 516 runs at an average of 85 while batting exclusively at No. 6 or lower down the order, making him the first Indian to score over 500 runs in a Test series at these positions. Apart from his runs, Jadeja also took seven wickets, including a four-wicket haul in the fourth Test at Manchester. "He (Jadeja) has the ability to rattle the opposition either through his fielding or batting or bowling and can make something happen in every match. He has an organized gameplay, knows what to play when and uses his experience brilliantly," said Tendulkar in a video interaction on Reddit. "He is right up there as my crucial player in the series, was amazing with the bat throughout. Simple game, great results," he added. The former India batter was also in awe of Washington Sundar's ability to switch gears and his contribution towards the team whenever he was given the chance. "The series was alive when he was getting his maiden Test century and it was fine that they (Sundar and Jadeja) continued to bat. They didn't come in to bat thinking they will score hundreds, they came in to bat with the mindset of drawing the Test. Bowling (Harry) Brook wasn't his (Sundar's) fault and he didn't face Brook when he started to bat," said Tendulkar. "They also had to tire out England players going into the last match since the series didn't have a result yet. In the last Test, he accelerated, giving India crucial runs to defend. So he knows when to bat slowly and when to accelerate, not to forget his wicket-taking abilities during vital moments," he added. After the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy in England, India will next play Test cricket against West Indies in October, followed by a two-Test series against South Africa in November.

Injury substitution in cricket: Big no from Stokes, Ashwin calls out karma
The 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy between India and England came to a close on Monday with one of the most dramatic finishes of all time, where India pulled off a perfect Stone Cold 'Stunner' on England on the final day of the match and series, orchestrated by Md Siraj, to win the match by just six runs to end the series on level terms of 2-2. The series had been home to some extraordinary moments of cricketing action and also of determination. From Rishabh Pant coming out to bat with a fractured toe in Manchester to add a crucial 17 more runs to his total in India's first and ready to do it all over again in the second innings if required, to Chris Woakes' entry at the Oval with his arm tucked inside his sweater to keep England's hopes of winning the series alive—this was a series where emotions and grit were put on the highest pedestal. But these instances also call for a big question to be asked, i.e., should ICC allow player substitution for all types of injury instead of restricting it only to head injuries? While many believe ICC should, the English skipper Ben Stokes believes otherwise. Stokes, who ended up on both the giving and receiving end of the injury replacement question in the post-match press conference at the Oval, quoted a British idiom called Sod's law, which means if something can go wrong, it will go wrong—and usually at the worst possible time—and outwardly refused to support the idea of injury replacement in cricket. I don't see it being a thing: Ben Stokes Stokes, who almost mocked the idea of injury replacement in cricket after the Manchester Test where India were left struggling after their best red-ball batter of the last five years, Rishabh Pant, suffered a fractured toe, found himself surrounded by the same question after the Oval Test—after his team lost a game they might have won if the rule of player substitution for any kind of injury existed. Stokes, after the match, said that teams would continue to find loopholes around the rule if made, which will be unfair. Stokes, who himself was ruled out of the final Test due to a shoulder injury, further added that if the rule existed, he could have made himself available for the match, taken a chance, and would have simply replaced himself with someone else if it didn't work out. Stokes did acknowledge how his team suffered due to Woakes' injury in a similar fashion to how India struggled due to Pant's injury, but he simply dismissed the idea of substitution by saying we all need to just deal with the injury and rules as they are and move forward. While Stokes quoted Sod's law, his current situation can more perfectly be described by Murphy's law post his comments on Pant's injury, as the law states: whatever can go wrong will go wrong. Stokes was given karma treatment: Ashwin Former Indian off-spinner R Ashwin, while talking on his YouTube show 'Ash Ki Baat' after the Oval Test, called out Ben Stokes while mentioning Woakes' situation for them as karma and said, 'As you sow, so shall you reap.' Ashwin called out Stokes by saying that the English skipper was joking about the idea of player substitution after Pant's injury but karma hit him, and his team found themselves in a similar situation with Woakes. Although the off-spinner did not shy away from commending Woakes' effort and said that he is in awe of the English all-rounder who put his life and career on the line to almost help England walk away with the match, he simultaneously urged some serious discussion around these types of situations and asked teams to have some empathy towards the opposition. I am all for it: Gautam Gambhir India's head coach Gautam Gambhir voiced strong support for the introduction of injury replacements in cricket, especially in high-stakes Test series after the Manchester Test. According to Gambhir, if the umpires and match referee determine that an injury is serious and clearly visible, teams should be allowed to bring in a substitute. He believes this would be a fair move, particularly in tightly contested series like the one currently underway. Gambhir emphasised that no team should be forced to continue with just ten players due to an unfortunate injury, calling such a scenario highly unfair in a competitive setting. Legends side with Gambhir's views The English skipper Ben Stokes found no support for his comments about injury replacement, as cricketing legends from India and England such as Sunil Gavaskar and Michael Vaughan also voiced their support for Gambhir's comments. Gavaskar said, 'Here, it is a clear injury; there has to be a substitute. I want some committee to take a call on this kind of injury so that teams are not left handicapped.' Vaughan's comments came after England's unfortunate situation with Woakes, but his remarks eventually supported Gambhir's ideas. During the morning session of the fifth day, while Woakes was running around with just one good arm, Vaughan said, 'If there's a genuine injury in the first innings, it affects the game and the entertainment, which fans pay money to watch. The first innings is a good cutoff to make it fair.' How does player substitution actually work in cricket For most of its history, cricket had no injury-related replacement, as if a player was unable to continue, he simply had to walk away and his team had to play with one less player. However, on August 1, 2019, the ICC made a change and introduced player replacement for head-related injuries. According to the latest player substitution rule, cricket's substitution rules are set out by the MCC in Law 24 ('Fielder's Absence; Substitutes'). Here's how substitutions work: If a player on the field gets injured or falls sick, the team can bring in a substitute fielder. This substitute can only field—they are not allowed to bat, bowl, or act as captain in the match. A substitute can keep wicket only if the umpires agree, but only as a stand-in, not permanently. A big change was made in 2019 with the introduction of the concussion substitute rule. If a player suffers a head injury (concussion) during a game, a 'like-for-like' substitute is allowed. This means the replacement can do everything the injured player could—bat, bowl, field, or keep wicket. This substitution needs approval from the match referee to make sure the swap is fair. Runners (who used to run between the wickets for injured batsmen) are no longer allowed in international cricket. Tactical substitutions—replacing a player for strategy reasons—are not allowed according to MCC Laws, except in franchise leagues like the IPL, which have their own 'Impact Player' rule. In standard cricket (Tests, ODIs, most T20s), only substitutes for injury, illness, or concussion are permitted.

ENG Players Exchange Heated Words With Yashasvi Jaiswal, Who Cruises To Century: WATCH
Last Updated: Yashasvi Jaiswal ends the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy with a century, his fourth against England. He scored 107, partnering with Akash Deep's 66 to revive India. Yashasvi Jaiswal is ending the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy much like he began it — with a century. The 23-year-old Indian opener, who kick-started the series with a ton in the first innings of the Leeds Test, brought up another commanding hundred in the second innings of the final Test at The Oval. Despite coming into the match on the back of two low scores, Jaiswal bounced back in style, reaching his sixth Test century off just 127 deliveries, once again displaying his flair and temperament on the international stage. This latest ton marked Jaiswal's fourth century in Test cricket against England, and his second on English soil, reinforcing his growing reputation as one of India's most reliable performers in overseas conditions. What made this century even more impressive was the mental resilience he displayed under pressure. Facing relentless sledging and on-field banter from English players, Jaiswal remained unfazed, showcasing composure and grit. India had slumped to a disappointing batting performance in their first innings at The Oval. But as the visitors looked to mount a second-innings revival, Jaiswal stepped up at the perfect moment. India began the day at 75 for 2, and by the lunch break had reached 189 for 3, thanks to a resilient 107-run partnership between Jaiswal and Akash Deep, who made a surprise impact with the bat. Jaiswal was unbeaten on 85 off 106 balls at the interval, while Akash Deep, typically known for his bowling, smashed a quickfire 66 off 94 balls — his highest score in first-class cricket and just his second career fifty. However, his counter-attacking innings came to an end not long after reaching his milestone. Following his dismissal, Shubman Gill and Karun Nair also fell in quick succession. Yet Jaiswal continued to anchor the innings, holding firm as wickets tumbled around him. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

ENG vs IND 5th Test Day 3: Akash-Jaiswal frustrates English bowlers at Oval
It was all India in the morning session of Day 3 of the fifth and final Test of the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy as the visitors scored 114 runs in the session with just one wicket lost to take their second-innings total to 189 for 3 and their lead to 166 runs. India will aim to keep the momentum going and bat England out of the match by the end of the day. The morning session started with India resuming their second innings at 75 for 2 with Yashasvi Jaiswal (51* ) and Akash Deep (4*) still at the crease. The batting duo wasted no time and took the fight straight to the English bowlers, needing only five overs to take India's total past the 100-run mark. They continued to march ahead with calculative shots to complete the half-century stand for the third wicket. England had the chance to get the breakthrough twice in the same over against Akash Deep, but the batter first survived an LBW appeal due to the umpire's call, then had his catch dropped in the slips the very next ball. He took full advantage of the lifeline and went on to score his maiden Test fifty in 72 balls to keep India rolling. Meanwhile, England looked completely off the mark, bowling short balls to Akash Deep while he was clearly struggling against length deliveries. Even the commentators on the JioStar broadcasting team called this out, saying, 'This is what happens when you go to Plan B without fully utilising Plan A.' Yashasvi Jasiwal (85 not out) and Akash Deep (66) then completed their 100 run stand for the third wicket before Akash Deep finally lost his wicket just before the lunch break as India finished the session with 114 runs at the loss of one wicket.
