Historic Run-Scoring Frenzy Opens India-England Test Series
Something remarkable is happening between India and England on the cricket field: 3365 runs have been piled on in just the first two Tests of their 2025 series. That’s not just a flurry—it smashes a world record set about 100 years ago. For age-old fans, it’s staggering. The series is tied at 1-1 after India’s emphatic 336-run win at Edgbaston, a contest that saw records tumble and reputations made.
Shubman Gill’s knock of 269 (India’s seventh-highest in Test history) stood out like a beacon. Only a handful of Indian batters ever go beyond 250, especially on English turf where swing usually does the talking. Gill turned the game into his own showcase, holding off a world-class English attack that just couldn’t find a way around him. Then there’s Akash Deep, whose 10-wicket haul—unmatched by any Indian in England—has experts buzzing about his sharp seam and relentless accuracy.
India Crosses 1000 in a Single Test, Lord's Awaits Fresh Drama
India took things even further by becoming the first side ever to notch over 1000 runs in a single Test during this record-breaking start. It’s the kind of stat that makes you double-check the scorecard. Long days in the field for bowlers meant plenty of action for the batsmen, but India’s batters made the most of it. Experts are debating if this was flat pitches, tired bowlers, brilliant batters, or all three wrapped into a cricketing storm.
The buzz is shifting to Lord’s—the ground known as the Home of Cricket, carrying its famous slope that throws a curve each session. The venue has seen its fair share of legends, heartbreaks, and comebacks. This time, England will be itching to reclaim control after a confidence-hit, while India hits the capital with the wind in their sails. The pressure is on both, but all eyes are glued to see if the next act at Lord's continues the story of record runs—or swings back to ruthless bowling spells.
Expect tactical tweaks, possible changes in both lineups, and another set of individual battles grabbing the spotlight. With the series in the balance, fans are ready for another round of high-octane, record-chasing Test cricket.
