In the first Test match in Leeds, the Indian team has made an infamous and unwanted record, becoming the first team to lose a Test despite scoring 5 centuries in the match.
In the Leeds Test, India scored 471 and 364 runs, while England scored 465 in the first innings and 373/5 in the second innings. England achieved the target of 371 runs for the loss of 5 wickets.
At Leeds Headingley, the Indian cricket team did what no one else has done in the 150-year history of Test cricket, but still no Indian cricketer can be proud of this feat, and may even face embarrassment.
After losing the match by 5 wickets to England, India became the first team in the history of Test cricket to fail to save the match despite scoring 5 centuries. In the first innings, Yasushi Jaiswal scored 101, Shubman Gill scored 147 and Rishabh Pant scored 134 runs for India. In the second innings, Rishabh Pant scored 118 runs and KL Rahul also scored 137 runs. But despite these five centuries, India lost the match.
Previously, the most centuries scored by a losing team in a Test match was 4, and this event also took place almost a century ago. In 1929, 96 years ago, the Australian team failed to win the match against England in Melbourne despite scoring 4 centuries.
