India scripted a landmark victory, clinching their first-ever Women's T20I series win against England with a dominant six-wicket triumph in the fourth match, led by a stellar performance from their spinners. With this win, India took an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series, with the final game scheduled to be played in Birmingham on Saturday. India had beaten England in a lone T20I match played in Derby in 2006. Since then, the 'Women in Blue' have fallen short in every women's T20I series against England, both at home and away. Spin played a starring role in India's dominant win on Wednesday as Radha Yadav (2/15), 20-year-old Shree Charani (2/30), and Deepti Sharma (1/29) combined to claim five wickets, restricting the hosts to a modest 126 for 7. Openers Shafali Verma (32) and Smriti Mandhana (31) then chased with flair, putting on a 56-run stand that laid the foundation for the win. The visitors overhauled the target with 18 balls to spare, capping off a memorable ...

England have recalled their ace pacer for the Lord's Test in hopes of regaining the lead in the series
The in-form Indian batters will back themselves to succeed on a potentially challenging surface while the bowling attack, which did not inspire confidence in the first game, will pose a tougher test to an unsettled England with the return of Jasprit Bumrah at the Lord's Test beginning on Thursday. With the series nicely poised at 1-1 going into the third Test, the narrative built around both the teams has changed significantly following India's 336-run routing of England at Edgbaston. If it wasn't for the dropped catches and lower-order collapses at Leeds, India would have been 2-0 up in the five-match series. Considering the inexperience of the Indian squad under new captain Shubman Gill, the team has not only competed but has won majority of the sessions over the course of the two Tests. England, on the other hand, were expected to steamroll the opposition following the retirements of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli but India's performance thus far has been a testament to their dept
Former England player Mark Ramprakash has hailed Shubman Gill for his stamina, skill and hunger, saying the young India batter and captain has shown he is capable of filling the boots of the 'Fab Four' of world cricket whose era is nearing an end. Gill scored 269 and 161 in the two innings of the Birmingham Test, adding to his 147 and 8 in the series opener at Leeds. He has totalled 585 runs in two Tests of the five-match series. "We have to pay testament to his stamina, his skill and his hunger not just for runs, but to set an example as the new captain of a young team," Ramprakash wrote 'The Guardian'. "We are coming to the end of a period that has been dominated by the so-called Fab Four Virat Kohli, Joe Root, Steve Smith and Kane Williamson and the search has been on for players who can take over. "Gill has shown he can fill those boots and in a wonderfully orthodox style: he plays all formats and is brilliantly adaptable, but with a foundation of classic technique." The ..
India have a great record at Lord's against England in recent times, winning two of the last three games played, including the famous 151-run victory under Virat Kohli in 2021
Shubman Gill is enjoying a "honeymoon period" as India's Test captain but there will be more pressure on him in the days to come, feels former India skipper Sourav Ganguly. Ganguly, who turned 53 on Tuesday, recalled his recent interview with PTI while stressing that Indian cricket will never be devoid of talented players. With 585 runs, Gill is now just 18 short of surpassing Rahul Dravid's tally of 602 (in 2002) for the most runs by an Indian batter in a series in England. India bounced back in splendid fashion to win the Edgbaston Test by a dominant 336 runs and level the five-match series 1-1. "This is the best I've seen him bat and I'm not surprised, Ganguly said while talking to reporters at Eden Gardens on the sidelines of his birthday celebration. "I've recently said in an interview to PTI CEO that there will always be players in Indian cricket after every generation. Whenever there's a void, players will come and fill it. "There is so much talent in Indian cricket. In eve
