Team India Makes History with Test Victory Over England Under Shubman Gill's Captaincy

Historic Win for Team India

Under the leadership of Shubman Gill, Team India achieved a remarkable victory against England at Edgbaston, marking a historic moment as they became the first Asian team to win a Test match in Birmingham. Key contributions came from players like Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, Akashdeep, Mohammed Siraj, and Ravindra Jadeja. Following this significant win, congratulations poured in for the Indian team.

In a tweet, ICC Chairman Jay Shah praised Team India for their performance, specifically highlighting Gill, Akashdeep, Jadeja, and Pant. However, he notably omitted mentioning Mohammed Siraj, which sparked backlash from fans on social media, accusing him of promoting a Hindu-Muslim narrative in cricket.

Shah's post on X stated that the match showcased the depth and resilience of Indian cricket, praising Gill's extraordinary innings of 269 and 161 runs, along with Akashdeep's impressive tally of 10 wickets. He also acknowledged the valuable contributions from Jadeja and Pant that led the team to victory. Fans are now eagerly anticipating the next match at Lord's.

The tweet quickly went viral, with users commenting on the omission of Siraj's name, expressing that had he played, the team might not have taken the lead in the first innings. Many users accused Shah of bias, further fueling the controversy.
