IND vs ENG: The recently concluded Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series was one great endorsement of Test cricket. From tense moments to high-quality cricket, the series was peppered with everything, and the Oval Test in particular will go down as one of the greatest games of cricket to be ever played on English soil.
The series might have ended in a 2-2 draw, but the manner in which India played the series is something that indicates towards their bright future.
The series also had a significance of its own as India were starting their World Test Championship 2027 campaign. After Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Ravichandran Ashwin’s Test retirement, nobody had really given Shubman Gill’s India a chance to fight. India are currently on the third spot of the current World Test Championship standings and are only behind Australia and Sri Lanka.
