Top Run-Scorers In ENG vs IND Test

We are considering the top performers from the ongoing series

Shubman Gill – 607 Runs

Indian skipper, Shubman Gill has been batting like a dream as he has scored 607 runs in 6 innings at an average of 101.16. He set the tone early in the series with a ton and went berserk in Birmingham with a double century and a hundred. Although he had a rare set of failures at Lord’s, expect him to bounce back with a vengeance. India’s fate might just rest on his bat.

Rishabh Pant – 425 Runs

The man with swagger and steel, Rishabh Pant has stacked up 425 runs in 6 innings at an average of 70.83. He copped a blow to his finger last match but still came out swinging and smashed a fifty. His grit is unmatched and if he gets going, he can turn the game on its head.

Jamie Smith – 415 Runs

England’s wicketkeeper, Jamie Smith has lit up the series with 415 runs at an average of 103.75 in just 6 innings. After a mammoth 272-run match haul in the third Test, he smacked another fifty last time out. If Smith fires again, India will have their work cut out.

Top Wicket-Takers In ENG vs IND Test

We are considering the top performers from the ongoing series.

Mohammed Siraj – 13 Wickets

Mohammed Siraj has led the charge with the ball, picking 13 wickets in the series so far. His spell of 6/70 in the third Test was nothing short of magical. He has been India’s workhorse and will once again be their go-to man at Old Trafford.

Jasprit Bumrah – 12 Wickets

Jasprit Bumrah’s back and breathing fire. Despite playing only two Tests, he has snapped up 12 wickets and shown why he is India’s ace. His control has been as impeccable as ever. After a fifer at Lord’s he will aim to conjure up some magic in the upcoming Test.

Ben Stokes – 11 Wickets

English captain, Ben Stokes is not just leading with intent but also delivering with the ball. With 11 wickets in the series so far, he has been the man for a crisis. The last game saw him deliver long spells to help his side. Moreover, if he gets going with the bat, India will be in for a long Test.
