'Royal Hammering': Fans and Former Players Relish India's Record Win Against England in Rajkot

Team India registered a record 434-run win over England at Rajkot on Sunday as the hosts moved ahead of the tourists in the ongoing five-match series.

Yashasvi Jaiswal starred with an unbeaten 214-run knock in the second innings while Ravindra Jadeja picked up a five-wicket haul to fold England for a paltry 122. The hometown hero made a ton in the first innings as he put up 112 runs on the board to support skipper Rohit Sharma’s 131-run stand.

Fans took to social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to express their delight at the historic triumph over the touring English side.

BCCI Secretary Jay Shah posted, “Team India smashes an exhilarating triumph in the 3rd test against England, clinching a monumental victory by an unprecedented 434-run margin! Led by @ImRo45 , fueled by @ybj_19 , @ShubmanGill , debutant Sarfaraz, alongside the stellar performance from @imjadeja and @mdsirajofficial , who have etched their names in cricketing annals! Heartiest congratulations on this historic feat!”

Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan shared an update that read, “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”

One fan shared a post that read, “Team India beats the England by 434 and it’s Biggest win for Team India. When Sir Jadeja decided to bat, You can’t do much. Complete Team effort, almost thrashed England in every Department.”

One user posted, “But when they fail it’ll be spectacular. Also, the discourse should primarily be how brilliant India were after 33-3. Almost the perfect test barring those 35 overs of Bazball. England wouldn’t be trolled for this too much if it wasn’t for the chatter”

Another fan wrote a scathing review of England stating, “This is not just a defeat, this is an insult to England‘s Bazball by captain Rohit. Captain Rohit has humiliated unstoppable Bazball with India‘s C side. Bhai ye to Rank Turner bhi nhi thi socho agar Rank Turner hota to kya hota . Greatest Captain Ever! @ImRo45”

Another user posted, “Royal hammering for England. Terrific performance by India, recovering from a stuttering 33-3 on the first morning to win by 434 runs. Brilliant batting by Rohit, Gill, fantastic debuts by Sarfraz and Jurel and a sublime all-round display by Jadeja. Who’s your MOM?”

Team India leads the five-match series 2-1 after the conclusion of three games, as the action moves to the JSCA International Stadium in Ranchi for the fourth fixture of the series.
