India's Gritty Fightback Stuns England in 4th Test
28 Jul
Summary
- India's fighting draw in 4th Test against England
- Shubman Gill scores 4th century of the series
- Rishabh Pant's heroic half-century with a broken foot
In July 2025, India's fighting draw in the fourth Test against England brought out the combatant spirit in the team. Under the leadership of new captain Shubman Gill, the Indian squad is determined to make its own history rather than follow in the footsteps of past players.
The team's performance in the Manchester Test has given them a psychological edge heading into the final match of the series. Despite being written off by many, India's players showed their resilience and character, with Gill scoring his fourth century of the tour and Rishabh Pant's heroic half-century despite a broken foot.
Head coach Gautam Gambhir praised the team's fighting spirit, saying they are "wanting to fight for the country" and will continue to do so. The 188-run stand between Gill and KL Rahul kept India in the match, and the unbeaten 203-run alliance between Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja earned a spirited draw for the visitors.

Gambhir believes the team's performance under pressure will give them a confidence boost heading into the final Test at The Oval on August 31, 2025. He emphasized that the squad, though inexperienced, is the best 18 players representing India and is determined to create its own legacy.
