India makes unwanted record in Headingley

Despite the loss, India created a unique record, becoming the first team in 148 years of Test cricket to have five individual centurions in a match and still lose.

Rishabh Pant scored centuries in both innings, while Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, and captain Shubman Gill also got hundreds against England at Headingley.

But Shubman Gill suffered defeat on his debut as India’s Test captain. Now, they will aim for a strong comeback in the second Test against England, starting on July 2 in Birmingham.
