Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! After starting the first session on Sunday at 58/4, India needed 135 runs to win with six wickets in hand. However, the loss of crucial wickets such as that of KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant left Ravindra Jadeja the responsibility of getting India over the finish line. While the all-rounder ultimately fell short of the target, he was lauded for his marathon effort with Jasprit Bumrah and then Mohammed Siraj towards the end. His impressive 61* off 181 balls gave India hope after a turbulent and disastrous Day 5. After the game, England legend and former skipper Alastair Cook analysed India's defeat, and singled out one paricular reason why Gautam Gambhir 's men lost the 3rd Test. While the obvious reasons point to Rishabh Pant's unfortunate run out on Day 3, Cook singled out another flaw from India. "They played it in their way. It almost worked.

Rishabh Pant's run out Loss of early wickets Bowling performance of England Lack of aggressive batting strategy Jadeja's incredible resilience drew praise from the former Test captain. The 36-year-old, who is ranked as the best all-rounder in the world in the red-ball format, battled at the crease for 181 balls. "Incredible mental fortitude by Jadeja to do it. I think they'll look back and think they should have been more proactive, but its not that bit, its the batting at the top, 40-1 and cruising, to suddenly lose those four wickets there has hurt them," said Cook.

England beat India by 22 runs as Jadeja's effort goes in vain
London: Ravindra Jadeja's heroic effort went in vain as England edged out India by 22 runs on the fifth and final day of a wildly fluctuating third Test with skipper Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer playing pivotal roles here on Monday. England thus go 2-1 up in the five-match series. The day started with India requiring 135 runs and England having to pick six wickets after setting the visitors a 193-run target. The hosts got four Indian batters out before lunch but were made to work hard for the remaining two wickets in the last two sessions. India were finally all out for 170. Archer (3/55) and Stokes (3/48) were the chief architects of the English victory, even as Jadeja battled hard for India with a gritty unbeaten 61. India lost the big wickets of Rishabh Pant (9), KL Rahul (39), Washington Sundar (0), and Nitish Reddy (13) in the first session to hand England the advantage. Lead pacer Archer sent Pant's off stump for a walk with a jaffa that straightened after landing on the perfect length. Skipper Stokes rose to the occasion as he trapped KL Rahul in front of the wicket, giving the momentum back to England. The on-field umpire was not convinced by the England team's loud appeal for an lbw, prompting Stokes to go upstairs and the decision came in his favour. Jofra was on the money consistently this morning and pulled off a brilliant catch off his own bowling to send back Sundar and Chris Woakes, and then had Washinton Sundar edge one to the keeper. Their efforts paved the way for England victory. Brief Scores' England: 387 and 192. India: 387 and 170 all out in 74.5 overs (KL Rahul 39, Ravindra Jadeja 61 not out; Jofra Archer 3/55, Ben Stokes 3/48).

Former India pacer Varun Aaron joins SRH as bowling coach
Hyderabad: Sunrisers Hyderabad on Monday appointed former India pacer Varun Aaron as their bowling coach for the 2026 IPL season. Aaron will take over from former New Zealand left-arm quick James Franklin. 'A fiery addition to our coaching staff! Welcome Varun Aaron as our new bowling coach,' the SRH announced on their X account. Aaron had played nine Tests and as many ODIs for India between 2011 and 2015. Aaron's last competitive match was a Vijay Hazare Trophy game for Jharkhand against Goa at Jaipur on January 5 earlier this year. However, Aaron brought curtains down on his playing career after Jharkhand failed to enter the knockout stages of the domestic 50-over competition. The 35-year-old had burst onto the scene as a young tearawaycapable of crossing the 150 kmph mark and it earned him immediate attention from the selectors. In fact, the top brass at that time wanted to invest heavily on him and the other blooming fast bowler — Umesh Yadav. While Umesh went on to play more than 50 Tests, Aaron soon slipped largely into an onlooker courtesy frequent injuries. Post-retirement, Aaron has moved on to become a TV pundit before joining the Hyderabad outfit in his new role.
