4 people scoring 5 centuries in a Test match and still losing shows how little others contributed.
It also shows how poor the selection was. #INDVSENG #INDVSENGTEST #Indvseng2025 #INDVSENGLIVE #ENGVIND #Cricket @Bhogleharsha @vikrantgupta73 @BCCI– Farhan Khan (@Farhan 222) 24 June, 2025
India’s fielding is a big thick joke. #INDVSENG

Those who are saying that there is no difference in captaincy cricket. Ajinkya Rahane won the BGT with Net bowlers in 2021, a captain always makes a difference and Gill will be the Indian team’s fashion captain and he is the original copy of Babur #Cricket #INDVSENG #Pant #INDVSENG

“3 Test defeat. 3 Captain. The same result. It’s not about the leader – it’s about bowling. Test match is won by bowlers, not captaincy promotion. #INDVSENG , #BCCI pic.twitter.com/cevwzvrnlm
