'Reminds Me Of A Young Sachin Tendulkar': Ravi Shastri's Massive Praise For India Star

Former India head coach and ex-international player Ravi Shastri was all praise for young India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal following his terrific performance against Engalnd during the third Test in Rajkot. Jaiswal, who failed with a run-a-ball 10 in India's first innings, scored big in his next opportunity. He crafted a beautiful 104-run knock before an injury forced him to retire hurt mid-way. As soon as Jaiswal raced to his third Test century on Saturday, Shastri compared his skills to that of cricket great Sachin Tendulkar. Notably, Jaiswal later returned to batting on Sunday and ended with 214 not out as India declared their second innings at 430 for 4, setting a 557-run target for England

England Great Trolls Stuart Broad For Questioning Ollie Pope's Dismissal Via DRS By India

During England's first innings in Rajkot Test, India took a DRS against Ollie Pope when Mohammed Siraj, deployed on short-ball tactics, pitched a fuller one to hit the pad of the English batter. Umpire Joel Wilson was unmoved but he had to overturn his appeal with the replays confirming that the ball was hitting the leg stump. Pope's entertaining knock thus ended at 39 off 55 balls. Commenting on the dismissal England pace great Stuart Broad wrote on X: "Looks high to me for 3 reds!"

Updated World Test Championship Table After India's Historic Win Over England In Rajkot

India made a mockery of England in the third Test of the five-match series, smashing the visitors by 434 runs in Rajkot on Sunday. This is their biggest win in terms of runs in their 577 Test history, and also the first time that they've won by a margin of 400 runs or more.

Biggest In 577 Tests: India Achieve Historic High By Drubbing England Cricket Comprehensively

Yashasvi Jaiswal's sensational double hundred found harmonious co-existence with the stunning craftiness of five-wicket man Ravindra Jadeja as ruthless India demolished wasteful England by a record 434 runs on the fourth day of the third Test in Rajkot on Sunday. England resisted their desire to play 'Bazball' but the Indian bowlers led by Jadeja (5/41) were an irresistible force, as they hustled out the tourists for 122 in their second innings while chasing an improbable 557-run target. India, now, lead the five-match series 2-1.
