In a stunning display of dominance in the 3rd test at Rajkot, India has finally found the spark in home conditions to beat England by a huge margin that has elevated India\u2019s position in the ICC\u2019s WTC rankings. India has moved to the second spot in the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 points table following a commanding 434-run victory over England in the third Test clash at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Yashasvi Jaiswal, whose aggressive double-century in the second innings stole the spotlight, steered India\u2019s total in the second innings towards a troubling chase for England. India set an imposing target of 557 runs for Ben Stokes\u2019 led England side on the fourth day of the match. Jaiswal\u2019s record-breaking performance propelled India to a formidable total of 430 for four, leaving the visitors with a daunting task ahead.<\/p>\n
As the English batsmen struggled to find their footing against India\u2019s relentless attack, they succumbed to pressure and were eventually bowled out for a mere 122 runs. Ravindra Jadeja\u2019s stellar performance, clinching a five-wicket haul at his home ground, further cemented India\u2019s dominance in the match. England is placed in ninth position in the ranking, ahead of Sri Lanka, which will prove to be a sport of bother for Ben Stokes\u2019 led side.<\/p>\n
India\u2019s triumph marked their fourth victory in seven games within this championship cycle, consolidating their position as a formidable force in Test cricket. Meanwhile, England finds themselves languishing in eighth place after suffering their fifth defeat, compounded by the loss of 19 points due to slow over-rate offences.<\/p>\n
With Sri Lanka currently occupying the bottom spot in the points table, having suffered two losses in as many games, the competition for supremacy in the ICC World Test Championship intensifies as teams strive to assert their dominance on the global stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
