Bavuma, Proteas' WTC Win Rewrites Cricket's Legacy at Lord's First Sports With Rupha Ramani

Bavuma, Proteas' WTC Win Rewrites Cricket's Legacy at Lord's | First Sports With Rupha Ramani | N18G Bavuma, Proteas' WTC Win Rewrites Cricket's Legacy at Lord's | First Sports With Rupha Ramani | N18G South Africa's World Test Championship victory over Australia was more than just a cricketing milestone, it was a powerful symbol of transformation. After 27 years without a major ICC trophy, it was Temba Bavuma, a black captain once mocked for his race and stature — who stood tall at Lord's with the mace in hand. This wasn't just a win; it was the culmination of a journey through discrimination, doubt, and a deeply rooted history. From apartheid-era exclusion to a moment of global sporting redemption, Bavuma's leadership has redefined what representation means in cricket. Rupha Ramani explores the powerful symbolism of South Africa's win, its echo of India's cricketing shift in 2007 under MS Dhoni, and how this championship signals a new era — where cricket isn't just the 'gentleman's game,' but everyone's game.

IND vs ENG: From Tendulkar-Sehwag to Gill-Jaiswal! Day 1 of Leeds Test rewrites history books

Tendulkar-Sehwag and Gill-Jaiswal (Agency Photos) NEW DELHI: India's new era in Test cricket began with style, composure, and history on Friday as Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal both scored hundreds on the first day of the opening Test against England at Headingley. India ended a dominant day at 359 for 3, the third-highest first-day score by an Indian team at the start of an overseas tour. 300+ runs on the first day of a tour for India 399/3 vs SL, Galle, 2017 372/7 vs SA, Bloemfontein, 2001 359/3 vs Eng, Headingley, 2025 356/2 vs Pak, Multan, 2004 302/4 vs WI, North Sound, 2016 Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! It was only the third instance in Indian Test history where two batters scored centuries on Day 1 of an overseas tour. The other two? Tendulkar and Sehwag in Bloemfontein (2001) and Dhawan and Pujara in Galle (2017). Two Indian batters scoring 100s on the first day of a tour Sachin Tendulkar & Virender Sehwag vs SA, Bloemfontein, 2001 Shikhar Dhawan & Cheteshwar Pujara vs SL, Galle, 2017 Yashasvi Jaiswal & Shubman Gill vs Eng, Headingley, 2025 Like those iconic starts, this one may come to define a new generation of Indian cricket. Gill, leading India for the first time in Tests, delivered a captain's knock, a fluent, unbeaten 127. It was his first century outside Asia, achieved under the added pressure of stepping into a side without modern legends like Kohli, Rohit, or Ashwin for the first time in 14 years. Poll Do you think India can secure a series victory against England after this strong start? Yes, definitely! Maybe, it's still early. No, they will struggle. Jaiswal, meanwhile, struck a confident 101, becoming the first Asian opener to score a Test hundred at Headingley. His innings, marked by crisp off-side play and a flurry of boundaries, ended right after tea when Ben Stokes finally breached his defenses. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 75% off installation for LeafFilter LeafFilter Gutter Protection Learn More Undo Still, the pair's 176-run stand for the third wicket had already set the tone. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, 14, watches in awe as Yashasvi Jaiswal celebrates century England, who had hoped to exploit early conditions after India wanted to bowl first, found little movement and even less discipline. Their pacers leaked runs all day, with captain Stokes (2/43) offering the only control. Rishabh Pant joined Gill late and ended the day with a typically attacking 65*, adding to India's imposing platform. As far as Day 1 statements go, India couldn't have asked for a better one to open the five-Test series.

Last Updated: India and England players are wearing black armbands on Day 1 of the first Test which is taking place at Headingley in Leeds. India and England players are wearing black armbands in memory of the victims of the Ahmedabad plane attack on Day 1 of the first Test, which is taking place at Headingley in Leeds. More than 250 people lost their lives when an aeroplane crashed in Ahmedabad on June 12. 'Both teams will wear black armbands today as a mark of respect for those who lost their lives in the Air India plane crash. Out thoughts are with all those affected by the terrible events that took place in Ahmedabad last week," England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) tweeted on Friday. — BCCI (@BCCI) June 20, 2025 Both teams will wear black armbands today as a mark of respect for those who lost their lives in the Air India plane thoughts are with all those affected by the terrible events that took place in Ahmedabad last week 🖤 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) June 20, 2025 Indian players and members of the support staff wore black armbands before the start of the intra-squad match last week, and on Day 3 of the WTC 2025 final, Australian and South African players also wore black armbands in memory of the victims of the Ahmedabad plane crash. In the first Test of the five-match series, India will bat first. England skipper Ben Stokes won the toss on Friday and invited India to bat first in Shubman Gill's first Test as India captain. Tamil Nadu batter B Sai Sudharsan is making his Test debut for India at Headingley, and the 23-year-old cricketer will bat at No. 3. Gill will come out at No. 4, and he will be followed by Rishabh Pant and Karun Nair. Nair, who has a triple century to his name in Test cricket, last played a Test match for India in 2017.
