IND vs ENG: 'Bazball dead,' Twitter goes crazy after India win by 434 runs in Rajkot test

India hammered England by 434 runs in the third match and registered their biggest win by runs in test history.

The Rohit Sharma-led India dismantled Ben Stokes-led England with a huge 434-run win on day 4 of the third test match at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot on February 18, Saturday. With this win, India lead the ongoing five-match series 2-1. Chasing a huge total of 557, the Three Lions were bowled out for a paltry 122 in their second innings.

Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who smashed a brilliant century in the first innings, took 5/41 with the ball while defending the target, which dismantled the English batting lineup. Apart from Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav also chipped in with two wickets. Jasprit Bumrah and Ravichandran Ashwin picked up one wicket each in the fourth innings of the Rajkot test match.

With this huge victory over England, the Indian side registered their biggest test win in terms of runs (434 runs) in test cricket history. The previous record was a 372-run victory, which came against New Zealand in December 2021.

After this huge win over England, here’s how cricketing fraternity celebrated this historic win:

Outstanding win for Team India. From 33 for 3 inside the first hour to triumph by 434 runs is a tribute to the tremendous belief. A host of heroes with bat and ball, starting from Rohit and Jadeja. No praise can be too high for Jaiswal, Gill, Siraj, Kuldeep and the two debutants,… pic.twitter.com/KzWBPBsUIw

England lost the last 18 wickets for 234 inside 75 overs .. a warning sign to them in tough conditions against a good side that if you give them a sniff things can escalate very quickly .. India have been brilliant this last 2 days .. #INDvENG

Phenomenal performance by India to play this well with all the absentees that have impacted their team in this test series. Shout out to Yashasvi Jaiswal. The way he has started his international career is very impressive.

What a wonderful victory. Yashasvi, with the beginning he has had if he keeps his feet rooted , then SKY is the limit with his ability. Brilliant all-round performance by the whole team and a proper hammering for England. pic.twitter.com/XOlwnKH1Ty
