Cricket Waits For None : Despite No Rohit Sharma -Virat Kohli, India Vs England 2025 Test Series Shatters All Records
When Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retired from Test cricket, many wondered if a younger Indian team could still attract massive audiences for the longest format. Those doubts were emphatically silenced as the Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy 2025 between India and England not only pulled in huge crowds but also became the most‑watched Test series ever on any digital platform. The crowning moment came on Day 5 of the fifth Test at The Oval, with India chasing four wickets to win and square the series 2‑2. At that point, 1.3 crore concurrent viewers tuned in to JioHotstar, setting a new record for the highest‑ever peak audience for a Test match online. Record-Breaking Numbers for Test Cricket The excitement stretched across the entire five‑match series, which produced some staggering statistics: 65 billion minutes of live streaming over the series. 170 million+ unique viewers accessed the series digitally — the highest reach ever for Test cricket online. Every single match lasted till Day 5, keeping viewers hooked from start to finish. The data confirms that, far from fading, Test cricket still has the power to hold audiences spellbound worldwide. 'The extraordinary response to India's tour of England reinforced Test cricket's ability to forge compelling narratives in almost every session of every match. Reaching over 170 million viewers and setting new concurrency records is a testament not just to the thrilling cricket, but also to our commitment to delivering an immersive storytelling and viewing experience,' said Siddharth Sharma, Head of Content at JioStar. The Dramatic Finale: Siraj Delivers Without Bumrah The fifth Test at The Oval had everything; tension, strategy, and a nail‑biting finish. With pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah rested for workload management, Mohammed Siraj took centre stage. Captain Shubman Gill, trusting Siraj's reverse swing, chose not to take the second new ball. The move paid off , Siraj struck early, inducing a faint outside edge from Jamie Smith, and later sealed India's victory with a pinpoint yorker to dismiss Gus Atkinson. India won by six runs, levelling the series 2‑2 in England : a huge boost for a side in transition after the retirement of two modern Test giants.

Shubman Gill Overtakes Virat Kohli On India's ‘THIS' WTC Records During 5th Test At Oval
Shubman Gill continues to stamp his authority on the Test arena, surpassing former captain Virat Kohli on India's World Test Championship (WTC) run-scorers list. The milestone came during the ongoing fifth Test at The Oval, further underlining Gill's remarkable form in the England series. Most runs for India in the World Test Championship 2731 - Rishabh Pant (67 innings) 2716 - Rohit Sharma (69 innings) 2636 - Shubman Gill (68 innings) 2617 - Virat Kohli (79 innings) 2348 - Ravindra Jadeja (67 innings) Dominating the England Series Gill's performances in the Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy 2025 have been nothing short of extraordinary: Scored over 722 runs in the series so far, with an astonishing average close to 90. Registered four centuries, including a record-breaking match haul of 430 runs at Edgbaston, making him only the second captain after Allan Border to score 150+ in both innings of a Test. Surpassed Virat Kohli's tally for most runs by an Indian captain in a Test series against England, a record previously held by Kohli since 2016. His purple patch has seen him join legends like Sunil Gavaskar and Don Bradman, equaling their record of four centuries in a single series. Impact Beyond the Numbers Gill's form has had a defining impact on the series. Alongside senior batter KL Rahul, who also crossed 500 runs in the series, the duo became the first Indian pair in more than 50 years to achieve the milestone in an away Test series. While bowlers have struggled in batting-friendly conditions, Gill's consistency has kept India competitive. In the ongoing fifth Test at The Oval, India reached 204/6 on Day 1, with Gill contributing 21 before being run out in a tense passage of play. A New Era of Indian Batting Leadership By overtaking Virat Kohli on the WTC runs chart, Shubman Gill has firmly established himself as the torchbearer of India's batting unit. His ability to adapt in challenging conditions and lead from the front with the bat has drawn comparisons with some of India's finest captains. As India pushes to level the series, Gill's performances will remain central to their fortunes. His record-breaking spree in England has not only etched his name in history books but has also signaled the dawn of a new era in Indian cricket.
