India grabs 17th straight series win in home Tests
India’s dominance on home soil continues as the Rohit Sharma’s team successfully defend their record for the most consecutive Test series wins at home by defeating England in the fourth Test at Ranchi. This victory secures an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series, leaving England with little hope for a comeback.
This win marks a significant milestone for India. It’s been 17 straight Test series wins on home soil since their last defeat against England in 2012-13, under MS Dhoni’s captaincy. This remarkable streak showcases India’s exceptional performance as a powerhouse in Test cricket. The series began with a shaky start for India, losing the opening match in Hyderabad. However, the team displayed remarkable resilience, bouncing back with convincing victories in the next three Tests.
Openers Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal provided a solid foundation with a fifty-run partnership for the win in Ranchi. Later, the unbeaten partnership between Shubman Gill and Dhruv Jurel ensured India crossed the finish line comfortably.
This series win displays the immense talent of the Indian team. With the final Test in Dharamsala coming up, they’ll aim to maintain their winning momentum and end the series on a high note.
