The third Test is currently being played between India and England at Lord’s. However, Shubman Gill’s Team India has broken a big record in three Tests. Team India’s second innings has not been batted in the third Test. In half the journey itself, India has broken a big record of teams like New Zealand and West Indies. The Indian team has become the most six -hit team in a Test series on a foreign soil. India has so far batted five times in the series and has hit a total of 36 sixes.
Earlier, New Zealand and West Indies had the record for the highest sixes in a Test series on foreign land. Kiwis hit 32 sixes in UAE against Pakistan in 2014/15. The UAE was then seen as Pakistan’s domestic ground. New Zealand hit 32 sixes in the three -match Test series. At the same time, West Indies hit 32 sixes on the Indian tour in 1974/75. A five -match series was played between the two teams. At the same time, India has hit 36 sixes in half the journey in the current series against England.
England won the first Test played in Leeds by five wickets. At the same time, India won the second Test by 336 runs. The second match was played at Edgbaston, Birmingham. It was winning the first Test on this ground of Team India. The first win of any Asian team on this ground. Now the Indian team would like to take an edge in the series by winning Lords. When Team India came on this tour under the leadership of Shubman Gill, almost all the cricket pundits valued the team.
However, what a befitting reply the Indian team has given. Gill is also in great form and is currently the highest run -scorer in the series. He has so far scored 601 runs in five innings of three Tests. At the same time, Rishabh Pant, the vice -captain of the Indian team, is in second place with 416 runs. England’s Jamie Smith is third with 407 runs. Shubman Gill, Pant, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal have scored centuries for India so far.
