Test match to romp to a 434-run win, their biggest victory in terms of runs. India now lead 2-1 with two Tests to play and once again look like a force at home. For some time now the template has been to play on rank turners at home, and this has resulted in a lottery of sorts. But, with England attacking relentlessly, India returned to the old model. On a Rajkot pitch that was built to last five days, with wear and tear coming into play at the back end, India played to their strengths and pulled off a perfect home Test. Records fell along the way. Yashasvi Jaiswal, returning to the crease, creamed 12 sixes — equalling the mark Wasim Akram set in the course of his unlikely double-hundred against Zimbabwe — and became the third Indian to score back-to-back double-hundreds in a series.

India on Sunday crushed the visiting England team in the third test. In the process, several records were broken, from most number of sixes to India's biggest win in terms of runs. 1) First of all, India broke its own record for most sixes in a Test series by any team, touching a total of 48 big hits in the ongoing three-match series. The team went past its own tally of 47 sixes in three Tests against South Africa at home back in 2019, a series which had three Test matches. With two matches left, India could score a lot more sixes and outdo its previous record by a huge margin. 2) Debutant Sarfaraz Khan also created a record. He had a memorable debut in the international arena during the third Test against England, becoming the only fourth Indian to score twin half-centuries on Test debut. In the match, Sarfaraz played a highly-attacking game, taking the spinners to attack. In the first innings, he scored 62 in 66 balls, with nine fours and a six. In the second innings, he scored 68* in 72 balls, with six fours and three sixes.

England's heaviest test defeats could not shake Ben Stokes's conviction in their high-risk approach and the touring skipper believes they can still win the five-test series in India. England's bold tactics under Stokes and coach Brendon 'Baz' McCullum have revitalised test cricket and India, who have not lost a test series on home soil since 2012, were always going to be a litmus test of that philosophy. India crushed England by 434 runs, their biggest win in terms of runs, in the third match in Rajkot to go 2-1 up in the series but Stokes will not abandon 'Bazball' yet despite criticism that it borders on recklessness.
