Sarfaraz recently earned his India Test cap, marking a significant milestone. Mahindra praised Naushad's unwavering support, stating, "Hard work. Courage. Patience. What better qualities than those for a father to inspire in a child?" Naushad, an employee with Western Railways, ensured Sarfaraz's dreams thrived despite financial challenges, selling toffees and cucumbers in trains to making ends meet and support his son. The gift symbolizes gratitude for Naushad's pivotal role in Sarfaraz's journey to success.

After a crushing 434-run loss to India in Rajkot, England's 'Bazball' strategy faces intense scrutiny. Former captains Michael Vaughan and Nasser Hussain slammed England's performance, marking it as their heaviest defeat under Ben Stokes' leadership. Vaughan criticized the team's attitude, deeming their statements during the Test as "smug" and "disrespectful to Test cricket". He singled out Ben Duckett's claim that 'Bazball' influenced Yashasvi Jaiswal's outstanding double century. India's dominance, fueled by Ravindra Jadeja's five-wicket haul and strong batting from Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and debutant Sarfaraz Khan, underscored England's shortcomings on the field.

India's dominant 434-run victory against England in the third Test elevates them to the second spot in the World Test Championship (WTC) points table. Led by Rohit Sharma, India now holds a 2-1 series lead. Yashasvi Jaiswal's unbeaten double century and Ravindra Jadeja's five-wicket haul were pivotal in India's historic win, marking their largest-ever Test victory. The triumph surpasses their previous 372-run win against New Zealand in 2021. New Zealand maintains the top spot in the WTC with a 75% point percentage, while India secures second place with 59.52%.

Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar praises Yashasvi Jaiswal and debutant Sarfaraz Khan for their stellar performance in India's historic Test victory against England. Jaiswal secured his second consecutive double century, joining cricket legends Sir Don Bradman and Vinod Kambli in history. Sarfaraz marked an unforgettable debut with fifties in both innings. Tendulkar, though regretting not watching live, celebrates their outstanding knocks. India's record 434-run win, guided by Ravindra Jadeja's five-wicket haul, secures a 2-1 lead in the series. Jaiswal becomes the third Indian with consecutive double tons after Kambli and Virat Kohli.

India scripted history with a monumental 434-run triumph over England in the third Test match. Yashasvi Jaiswal's stellar double century, complemented by Ravindra Jadeja's all-round brilliance and skipper Rohit Sharma's century, propelled India to a commanding position. After posting a formidable lead of 556 runs, India's bowlers, led by Mohammed Siraj and Jadeja, dismantled England's batting lineup, restricting them to a mere 122 runs. This emphatic win not only gave India a 2-1 lead in the series but also marked their largest-ever victory margin in Test cricket, surpassing their previous best of 372 runs against New Zealand in 2021.

In a gripping turn of events at Rajkot's Niranjan Shah Stadium, India seized control on Day 3 of the 3rd Test against England. After dismissing the visitors for 319, India's batsmen dominated proceedings, ending the day at 196/2, securing a substantial lead of 322 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal showcased exceptional form, notching his third Test century in just 122 balls. His partnership of 155 runs with Shubman Gill underscored India's batting depth. However, Jaiswal's retirement hurt due to a back injury tempered celebrations. Despite R Ashwin's absence, India's bowling unit, led by Siraj, maintained pressure. With England trailing, India eyes a decisive victory in the series.          

England's Ben Duckett showcased a masterful performance, smashing an impressive 133 runs to steer England to a commanding position at 207/2 at stumps on Day 2 of the third Test against India. Despite trailing by 238 runs, England's aggressive scoring rate has put India on the defensive. Mohammed Siraj and Ravichandran Ashwin claimed a wicket each for the hosts. Earlier in the day, India, led by Ashwin and debutant Dhruv Jurel, responded resiliently, posting 445 runs in their first innings. Despite losing overnight batsmen Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav early, Ashwin and Jurel's partnership added vital runs. India also incurred a five-run penalty for running on the pitch. England will commence Day 3 from 5 for 0.

In the 3rd Test between India and England at Rajkot, Rohit Sharma's impressive century and Ravindra Jadeja's unbeaten ton steered India to a commanding total of 326/5 by Stumps on Day 1. Despite early wobbles with three quick dismissals, Rohit and Jadeja's resilient partnership of 204 runs anchored India's recovery. Debutant Sarfaraz Khan's brisk half-century further bolstered India's position. Facing England's strong bowling attack, Rohit's century and Jadeja's determined innings provided stability and momentum. With key milestones approaching for players like Ravichandran Ashwin and Ben Stokes, the stage is set for an intriguing battle as the Test match unfolds in Rajkot.

Debutant Sarfaraz Khan made an impressive start in Test cricket by slamming a brisk half-century during the first day of the 3rd Test against England in Rajkot. Khan, who replaced skipper Rohit Sharma, showcased his batting prowess by reaching his fifty in just 48 balls, adorned with 7 boundaries and 1 six. However, his innings was cut short at 62 due to a run-out confusion with Ravindra Jadeja. Earlier, Khan's emotional moment with his father, Naushad Khan, marked the occasion as he received his debut cap from former leg-spinner Anil Kumble. India's strong batting display, led by Rohit Sharma's century, propelled them to a commanding position in the match.

Rohit Sharma showcased his return to form with a splendid century in the third Test against England in Rajkot. Despite early dismissals, Sharma's resilient knock of 157 balls, including 11 fours and 2 sixes, anchored India's innings. Teaming up with Ravindra Jadeja, the duo's partnership of over 150 runs thwarted England's bowlers. Sharma's feat not only propelled India but also propelled him past Sourav Ganguly in total runs for India in international cricket, reaching 18577 runs, and surpassed MS Dhoni in the number of sixes by an Indian batter in Test cricket.
