India vs England 4th Test Day 4: A Historic Victory Led by Gill & Rahul
In a thrilling showdown at the Fourth Test, Team India
made history by defeating England with a record-breaking performance on Day
4. The match saw spectacular contributions from Shubman Gill and KL
Rahul, who both etched their names into the record books and lifted India
to a remarkable victory.
Rahul-Gill Partnership
Seals the Win
The star of the day was undoubtedly the incredible
partnership between KL Rahul and Shubman Gill, who displayed flawless
batting technique and mental strength. Together, they crafted a mammoth 213-run
partnership, crushing England’s hopes and putting India in total control.
Gill, known for his elegance, scored an unbeaten 148, while
Rahul anchored the innings with a solid 104. This was one of India’s most
dominant chases on home soil in recent times.
Strategic Brilliance by
Rohit Sharma
Captain Rohit Sharma's leadership played a crucial
role. His decision to go with a spin-heavy attack on a dry pitch proved
effective. Ashwin and Jadeja bowled tight spells to dismiss England’s middle
order quickly in the first session of Day 4, setting up the platform for an
easy chase.
England's Collapse and
Missed Chances
England began the day at 210/5, hoping to stretch their
lead. But Indian bowlers had other plans. The visitors collapsed to 241 all
out, giving India a modest target of 258. Though England bowlers tried to make
inroads, the Gill-Rahul wall proved too strong.
England missed key chances—two dropped catches and a
missed run-out—which allowed India to take full control.
