On Oval Test Day 3, Yashasvi Jaiswal hit a brilliant century while Akashdeep contributed with a vital half-century.
The Indian team dominated the third day of the Oval Test, breaking numerous records and producing many memorable moments. Three Indian players scored more than 500 runs for the first time in a series. Jadeja also hit more than fifty runs for India in an England series.
Sundar Pichai made his commentary box debut, Gautam Gambhir smiled infrequently after Akash Deepr’s heroic fifty, and Indian ODI captain Rohit Sharma made a brief appearance to support the Test team.
Akash Deep scored more than 50 runs against England at The Oval pitch, becoming the first Indian nightwatchman to do so since 2011. Prior to him, in 2011, Amit Mishra had amassed 84 runs on the same pitch against England.
For the first time, three Indian batsmen have amassed more than 500 runs in a Test series. Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, and Ravindra Jadeja are few of these batsmen.
In this series, Ravindra Jadeja has amassed more over fifty runs six times, more than any other batsman batting at number six or lower in an English Test series. In 1966, Sir Garfield Sobers set a record of five scores of fifty or higher, which he surpassed. In a Test series (at home or away), this is also the greatest score of fifty or more by an Indian batter ranked six or lower. VVS Laxman, who scored 50+ runs five times during the 2002 West Indies tour, formerly held this record.
Akash Deep was a night watchman when he batted, but he ended up hitting his first Test fifty, and the dressing room celebration was incredible. Gautam Gambhir, the coach, couldn’t help but participate in the festivities. Alongside Harsha Bhogle, Google CEO Sundar Pichai had the chance to commentate during the game.
At the Oval, Yashasvi Jaiswal earned a well-earned century. The youngest gave the fans a heart gesture as a way to commemorate reaching his hundred.
On Day 3, Mohammed Siraj and Zak Crawley exchanged a few looks during the final over. In the end, the Indian bowler had the last laugh when he got rid of the England opener.
