After the important wicket of England’s skipper Ben Stokes at day 5 in Hadingley, an unusual but recreational incident with KL Rahul added a mild moment to an in -depth test match. After Stokes, Sharadul Thakur fell and Shubman Gill celebrated the catch with passion, Jamie Smith went to bat. However, before he could take a strike, Root’s bat and helmet left on the pitch, attracted KL Rahul’s attention. The Indian opener took a walk, raised the bat of the root, and even copied some shadow shots, drew the chakli from the online fans and the crowd alike. Umpire Chris Gaffaini had to take steps to ensure that the proceedings continued smoothly, asking Rahul to return the bat. At the age of 33, Rahul’s solid knock will lead a long way to help India on the five -match Test series prepared to play till August 4. Rahul, who was opened to India in this examination, made valuable contribution in both innings. He scored 42 runs out of 78 balls in the first and followed it with an important 137 off 247 balls in the third innings, anchoring India’s attempt from 140 with Rishabh Pant’s explosive 118.His efforts brought India to 364 in 96 overs, although the tail was uprooted under tireless pressure from the English bowlers 4 days late.
England chased 364, have done a mild target of a difficult target operated by Ben Docket’s magnificent 149 and Zak Crowlie’s fluent 65. The pair dug up their names in record books with the highest opening stand by an English pair in Headingley, a commanding final day from the hosts.
