India's latest batting sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal advanced towards a top-10 spot in the ICC rankings for Test batters by climbing three spots to 12th while his compatriot Dhruv Jurel leapfrogged 31 places to 69th on Wednesday. Jaiswal, who started the series in 69th position, continues his ascent to the top after scores of 73 and 37 in the fourth match of India's ICC World Test Championship series against England in Ranchi.
There was a massive controversy surrounding Joe Root's LBW dismissal during the fourth Test match against India in Ranchi with several ex-cricketers even criticising the technology for what they thought was a erroneous DRS review. During England's second innings, Ashwin's delivery crashed into Root's pads but the umpire was not convinced about the LBW shout. India went for a review and the replay showed that although it seemed like the majority of the ball pitched outside the leg-stump, the technology deemed it fair and gave it out. Some experts and fans were not happy with the decision but Paul Hawkins, the founder of HawkEye, provided an explanation regarding the controversial decision.
The Indian cricket team sealed a memorable series win against England with a five-wicket victory in Ranchi in the fourth Test. Despite top stars like Jasprit Bumrah missing from action, the young guns under Rohit Sharma galvanised into a pack of powerful performers. Though England looked in control in phases of the game, India were able wrest control with youngsters like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel stepping up in the series. India's performance has put a question mark on England's Bazball strategy, as they have now lost the first series since the ultra-aggressive approach by coach Brendon McCullum.
Rohit Sharma's disappointment was visible as Yashasvi Jaiswal ended up gifting his wicket to Joe Root on Day 4 of the fourth Test match between India and England in Ranchi on Monday. Jaiswal played brilliantly and was off to a great start when he miscued a simple shot off Root's bowling and James Anderson pulled off a good catch to end his stay at the crease after scoring 37 off 44 deliveries. Rohit was upset with how Jaiswal got dismissed despite getting a great start and the India skipper even slammed his bat on the pitch in frustration as the youngster made his way back to the dressing room.
A young wicketkeeper batsman playing just his second match showed that there is still room for old-fashioned gritty batting in Test cricket as India held their nerves to seal a five-wicket win in the fourth Test against England in Ranchi, to take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the series.
Despite conceding a 46-run lead in the first innings, Team India have managed to turn the tide on England on the third day of the ongoing fourth Test in Ranchi. India rocked England's batting order, with Ravichandran Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav inflicting the damage. Ashwin got the ball rolling with the wickets of Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope and Joe Root, after which Kuldeep sparked an England batting collapse. The left-arm spinner refused to take India captain Rohit Sharma's advice, dismissing a well-set Zak Crawley on the very next ball.
After recent criticism, England batter Joe Root regained his magical touch in the fourth Test against India in Ranchi, smashing an unbeaten century to lead the visitors' charge. Root had come under the scanner for throwing away his wicket on too many occasions prior to the fourth Test. He was harshly criticised for playing a reverse-lap shot that led to his wicket in the first innings of the third Test. However, Root silenced his doubters with an unbeaten 122 to help England post 353.
India captain Rohit Sharma was a frustrated figure after England tried to claim a grassed catch of Yashasvi Jaiswal on Day 2 of the fourth Test in Ranchi. The incident happened on 20th over of India's innings after England were bowled out for 353 in the morning session. Jaiswal seemed to have edged Ollie Robinson's delivery behind to the keeper Ben Foakes. The on-field umpires, however, weren't too sure about the catch being taken cleanly and referred the decision to the third umpire.
