India’s looking good so far. Shubman’s leading well, and it’s good to see the team stepping up after Rohit and Kohli’s exit.

Yes, it is a good sign. England tour can be tough but the youngsters are living up to the challenge so far.

Shubman Gill, as a captain and in his first test match as the captain joined the list of Indian captains who scored a century in their 1st match as a captain.
This list has Dilip Vengsarkar, Sunil Gavaskar, M.A.K Pataudi and Virat Kohli!
Virat scored 100s in each innings !

The next match starts on 2nd July in Edgbaston in Birmingahm.
Not a good ground, record wise for India and overall a lot for the Indian team to do, which is undergoing a transition.

India won the second test match in Birmingham. A great win.
India becomes the first asian country to win at this venue!

Star performances foremost by Shubman Gill followed by Rishabh Pant, Yashwaswi jaiswal, K.L.Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar and Akashdeep and Mohammad Siraj.

A number of records achieved, most by Shubman Gill (200 and 150 in the same match and as a captain !) .

India has always been good at cricket. They win most matches that they play for sure.

India has always been good at cricket. They win most matches that they play for sure.

It is not always the case. India lost two test series vs New Zealand and Australia before this one.
Yet now the Indian team is pulling in a lot of weight and doing very well.
