As the tension mounted on Day 4 of the 4th Test between India and England, Shubman Gill and Dhruv Jurel emerged as the new hope for India’s chase, steering the innings after the quick dismissals of R Jadeja and Sarfaraz Khan post-lunch.
Despite a strong start led by Captain Rohit Sharma’s resilient half-century, England struck back with two rapid breakthroughs, injecting a dose of uncertainty into India’s pursuit of a 192-run target.
With India’s victory within reach, having restricted England to a mere 145 runs in their second innings, credit is due to the stellar performances of Ravichandran Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav, who shared nine crucial wickets to set up India’s chase.
However, amidst the bowling heroics, let’s not forget the earlier contributions that paved the way for India’s dominance. Dhruv Jurel’s impressive 90-run knock in the first innings stood out as a testament to India’s depth and resilience, laying a solid foundation for the team’s pursuit of glory in this crucial Test match.
