India has solidified its leading position in the World Test Championship (WTC) rankings, securing a resounding innings and 64-run victory over England in Dharamsala and clinching a 4-1 series triumph. This triumph significantly bolstered India's percentage points from 64.58 to 68.51 in the ongoing WTC cycle, characterised by nine matches, including six wins, two losses, and one draw.
The series victory prompted praise from India's captain, Rohit Sharma, who lauded the maturity exhibited by the young players, showcasing their ability to handle pressure effectively throughout the competition.
In the aftermath of the series, Rohit took to his social media account to share a photo featuring Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Sarfaraz Khan, and Dhruv Jurel. The post served as a recognition of the promising youngsters' contributions to the team's success. In a light-hearted caption, Rohit referred to them as the «garden mein ghoomne wale bande.»
The phrase «garden mein ghoomne wale bande» originated during the Vizag Test when Rohit Sharma was captured by the stump microphone saying, «Koi bhi garden mein ghumega.»
While commending the young talents, Rohit Sharma himself had a stellar series with the bat, amassing 400 runs in five matches at an impressive average of 44.44. His remarkable performance included two centuries and one fifty, contributing significantly to India's series triumph.
