The high-stakes India tour of England, 2025, ended with a dramatic 2-2. In the final Test of the series, India registered its narrowest ever margin of victory by six runs. In the absence of India’s best bowler, Jasprit Bumrah, and vice-captain Rishabh Pant, India’s batting and bowling departments rose at the right time and delivered one of India’s most memorable test wins.
Apart from performances, this series will be known for the determination of Rishabh Pant and Chris Woakes, who batted with a broken foot and shoulder, respectively.
In this series, both teams broke multiple records; let’s read these records in this blog.
