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.

BCCI slammed for India being put in same group as Pakistan in 2026 Women's T20 World Cup: 'Nationalism has a cost'

The BCCI was expected to boycott Pakistan in the aftermath of the Pahalgam Terror Attack as well as the recent armed conflict between New Delhi and Islamabad. The board, however, has not raised objection to the Jay Shah-led ICC putting India and Pakistan in the same group in next year's Women's T20 World Cup in England. read more India and Pakistan are set to face each other in Edgbaston, Birmingham in next year's Women's T20 World Cup in England. AFP India has not played any form of bilateral cricket with Pakistan since January 2013, with the two arch-rivals facing each other only in ICC and Asian events due to political tensions as well as cross-border terrorism. And after the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam in April that was followed by a military showdown between the two nuclear-armed nations, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was advised to completely boycott Pakistan for some time. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The BCCI, therefore, is facing heavy criticism for India and Pakistan being placed in the same group in the Women's T20 World Cup that is set to take place in England next year. This despite the fact that it's the ICC and not the BCCI that is responsible for organising all global events including the Women's T20 World Cup, and has been ensuring at least one Indo-Pak face-off in every tournament to cash in on their fierce rivalry. However, what is interesting to note is the fact that the Dubai-based world governing body is currently led by former BCCI secretary Jay Shah, who also happens to be the son of Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Meaning the Group 1 fixture between India and Pakistan, which will take place at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Sunday, 14 June could not have happened without his approval. Netizens slam BCCI for allowing India-Pakistan fixture to be confirmed Here are some of the reactions to the India-Pakistan fixture in next year's T20 World Cup: BCCI's nationalism has a cost. I thought the cost was India v Pakistan matches at Men's ICC events given the revenue it generates, but the cost of BCCI's nationalism is much lower. — Gurkirat Singh Gill (@gurkiratsgill) June 18, 2025 Heard That @BCCI Had Asked @ICC To Not Put #India & #Pakistan In The Same Group in #ICC Tournaments, then why are India & Pak Women's Team grouped together ? @BCCI @BCCIWomen was it all drama or you care to take any concrete actions or have you shamelessly forgotten April-May… — Utkarsh Vashistha 🇮🇳 (@UtkarshV_BJP) June 19, 2025 STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Come on @BCCI for once come out of your gold coffers and think of the nation. Understand the sentiment. Instead of blocking Pakistan from world cricket, you decided to play them? All that power and can't arm twist when needed? — Shreya (@shreyamatsharma) June 16, 2025 So its not even been 2 months since Pehalgam attack which almost caused an all out war with Pakistan and here BCCI again didn't opposed ICC for putting India in same group with Pakistan???? I still remember there was news after Pehalgam attack that India will tell ICC to not put… — Rajiv (@Rajiv1841) June 18, 2025 Ok,I understand India and Pakistan are playing together in the ODI World Cup because of Round-Robin format,but why the hell have they been placed in the same group in T20 World Cup @BCCI ?It's proved that Star Sports and BCCI only care about money and not national interest! — Delhi Capitals Fan (@pantiyerfc) June 18, 2025 STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD India vs pakistan reallllllyy, people forgot things too quickly — shantanu Kumar (@shantanu_k98529) June 18, 2025 Before the T20 World Cup, India and Pakistan will also face each other in Colombo on 5 October during the upcoming Women's ODI World Cup. Pakistan's matches have been moved to Colombo as a result of the 'Hybrid Model' that saw India play its' matches in the UAE during the Champions Trophy earlier this year. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD And unlike the T20 World Cup, the ODI World Cup will be played in a round-robin format in which each of the eight teams will be the remaining seven sides before the knock-outs, meaning it was impossible to separate India and Pakistan in such a tournament. The ICC, however, is yet to announce the schedule for the Men's T20 World Cup, which will be jointly-hosted by India and Sri Lanka and will be taking place in the months of February and March – before the women's tournament.

2026 Women's T20 WC: India grouped with Pakistan, scheduled to play on June 14

CHENNAI: Days after the 2025 Women's ODI World Cup schedule was announced, India and Pakistan are slotted in the same group for the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup (England) as the fixtures were released on Wednesday. In the ODI World Cup as well, India are scheduled to play Pakistan on October 5 at a neutral venue (Colombo). These announcements comes about a month and a half after the cross border tensions between India and Pakistan. The two countries have not played bilateral cricket since 2013 and only play each other in multi-team tournament. Whether it is Asia Cup or ICC events, they have been grouped together since 2014 as India-Pakistan is perhaps the most-anticipated and watched contest. However, following the terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22, tensions rose between the two countries which led to escalations along the border. This led to speculations over whether India would play Pakistan in multi-tournament events. There have been calls of boycotts as well with some former players supporting it. Though the ODI World Cup will be played in the round robin format which means every team plays each other at least once, the format of the Women's T20 World Cup is different. The teams are divided into two groups. As per the existing agreement, Pakistan will not travel to India and will play all their games in Sri Lanka during the ODI World Cup. The two countries came to the understanding ahead of the 2025 Champions Trophy that neither team will travel to the other for any event and will play at a neutral venue. In accordance with that India played all their games in Dubai during the Champions Trophy hosted by Pakistan. Now, it remains to be seen whether the agreement continues. As things stand, apart from the two women's tournaments, there is a men's Asia Cup as well as men's T20 World Cup to be played in the next six months. Even though the ICC released the schedules for the games between India and Pakistan in both women's events, it needs be seen how the games go ahead. The BCCI is yet to say anything concrete as of now.
