England defeated India by 7 wickets in the first Test.
Ind vs eng 1st test: The match in which India scored 5 centuries and a bowler has taken 5 wickets, what will you say if the team loses after this. The easy answer is that the other team showed a better game than India. But there is another answer. That is, if some players of India showed great blossom, the rest could not even perform their average performance. In this match, there were 7 players whose poor performance took away the match won from India. Whatever the image of these players, but it is not averse to say that they proved to be the ‘guilty’ of India in the Leeds Test.
Yashasvi Jaiswal scored the first century in this match. His innings gave the Indian batting the Momentum, due to which India scored 471 runs in the first innings. But after this innings, a bad time of Yashswi started. He left a catch in England’s first innings and a catch in the second innings. In the second innings, leaving the catch of Ben Docket proved to be a turning point.
2. Karun could not take advantage of the opportunity
This match will not be called memorable for Karun Nair, who returned after eight years in the Indian team. He could not open an account in the first innings. Then he scored 20 runs in the second innings. His failure in both innings snatched the opportunity from India when the team was hoping that 500 runs would be scored.
Ravindra Jadeja was the only all -rounder involved in the Indian playing XI. The team was also the only spinner. Jadeja did not live in both these roles. Jadeja scored 11 in the first innings and 25 runs in the second innings. He did not take any wickets in the first innings in bowling. In England’s second innings, he definitely dismissed Ben Stokes but expected him to perform better than that.
4. Shardul Thakur disappointed
Shardul Thakur was given preference to all -rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy. It was expected that he would bowl better than Nitish and score some runs. Shardul failed completely in Batting and was dismissed by scoring 1 in the first innings and 4 runs in the second innings. Even in bowling, he did not live up to expectation. Shardul Thakur could not take any wicket in the first innings. He took 2 wickets in the second innings.
Mohammad Siraj was the second senior pace of the Indian team and it was expected that he would lead the Indian attack with Jaspreet Bumrah. Siraj could not do this. However, he did not even get help from fellow players. Two catches were missed off Siraj’s ball. If these catchs were caught, England could have been brought under pressure. Siraj took 2 wickets in the first innings. He did not get any wicket in the second innings.
6. Krishna became a villain even with wickets
The famous Krishna was the third fast bowler of the Indian team. He took 5 wickets in the match. 3 wickets in the first innings and 2 wickets in the second innings. But he took a lot of runs in both innings. In the first innings, he spent 128 runs in 20 overs at a strike rate of 6.40. In the second innings, he scored more than 90 runs at a strike rate of more than 6.
7. Sai Sudarshan’s bat was also silent
This was Sai Sudarshan’s debut match. Sai, who scored the most runs in IPL 2025, could not open an account in the first innings against England. In the second innings too, only 30 runs came out of his bat.
