Rahul Dravid exhibits passion during India vs England 2nd Test
Rahul Dravid, who is known to keep his composure under the toughest and even the most jubilating times, could not hide his passion during Day 4 of the 2nd India vs England Test. As Bumrah picked the prized scalp of Jonny Bairstow, which pushed England further deep in trouble at 194/6, the camera captured Rahul Dravid hurling a pulsating "Yesss." Delighted by the three reds presented by the DRS, Dravid gave the viewers a rare sight. Here's the reaction of Dravid that is going viral on social media.
IND vs ENG: India register incredible win over England
After opting to bat first, Team India had the daunting challenge of setting up a significant total in the 1st innings. Courtesy of Yashasvi Jaiswal's double ton, India put on 396 on the board. From the bowling department, Jasprit Bumrah stood up and dismantled the England innings with a 6-wicket haul. Buoyed by Bumrah's brilliance, India earned a lead of 143 runs. In the second innings, under pressure, Shubman Gill exhibited his mettle and scripted a century to power India to the total lead of 398. Chasing 398 was always going to be a tough ask for England, however, with the "Bazball" approach everything has seemingly become possible lately. Yet, the spin of Ashwin and the pace of Bumrah proved to be too good for defiant England batters. Hence, the bottom line has formed, which is that India have won the match by 106 runs. Jasprit Bumrah was adjudged the man of the match for taking a total of 9 scalps in the match.
