DYK? In the 86 Test matches played at Old Trafford, Manchester, since 1884 - spanning 141 years - Team India became the first side to score 350+ in each innings (358+425/4) of a Test match at this ground! #IndvEng #IndvsEng #ENGvIND #IndvsEngTest

In recent times, Team India has lost eight of their last 12 Tests since 16 October 2024. However, they won two (at Perth & Birmingham) and had drawn two (at Brisbane & Manchester), which are said to be four of its toughest venues. #IndvEng #IndvsEng #ENGvIND #IndvsEngTest

Despite losing at the Oval, England has recently been the best chasing side in Tests. In the last six years, since 2019, England has chased 350+ targets on three occasions. Amazingly, before 2019, they could not do this even once in the first 142 years of Test cricket! #INDvsENG

DYK? After winning the Hockey Gold medal for India at the 1948 London Olympics, Leslie Claudius & teammates went to The Oval to watch Don Bradman bat for the final time in England. However, their excitement was short-lived when Don was dismissed 2nd ball from leggie Eric Hollies!

We all know how good Cheteshwar Pujara is in the game's longer format. However, it is a surprise that he has appeared in only five ODIs for India despite having a fantastic List A career with over 5000 runs at a batting average of just over 57, including 16 three-figure scores!

DYK? Cheteshwar Pujara is the only cricketer in history to score a triple century in an A-Test match (first-class games between 'A' sides from Test-playing nations). He scored an unbeaten 306 at Hubli in October 2013, while captaining India A against the West Indies A.
