IND vs ENG: Shubman Gill creates history, breaks Virat Kohli's record by...
Shubman Gill in action at Manchester Test. (PIC - PTI) New Delhi: The England tour is Shubman Gill's first Test series as captain and he has broken many records in this series. On Saturday, he created history by breaking Virat Kohli's record in India's second innings in the ongoing fourth Test at Old Trafford in Manchester. What record did Shubman Gill break? Breaking Virat Kohli's record, he has become the Indian captain to score the most runs in a Test series against England. During the India-England Test series in 2016, Kohli played a total of five matches and scored 655 runs with the help of two centuries and two half-centuries. What's happening at the Manchester Test? Gill, who scored only 12 runs in the first innings of the Manchester Test, needed 37 runs in the second innings to overtake Kohli and he achieved this by hitting a four off Jofra Archer in the 17th over during the second session of the fourth day's play. Yashasvi Jaiswal holds the overall record for scoring the most runs for India in a Test series against England. During the five-match Test series between India and England in 2024, Jaiswal scored a total of 712 runs in five matches. Gill will have to score 55 more runs in the current match to break Jaiswal's record and achieve the number 1 position. Whose record is Shubman Gill chasing? Sunil Gavaskar holds the record of the Indian captain scoring the most runs in a Test series. During the India-West Indies Test series in 1978-79, Gavaskar played six matches and scored 732 runs. To break this record, Gill will have to score at least 114 runs in the second innings of the current Test. Gill scored a double century and two centuries in the first two Test matches of the current series against England. He has scored a half-century in the second innings of the Manchester Test.

Divya Deshmukh devastated in FIDE Women's World Cup final draw against Koneru Humpy
Divya Deshmukh devastated (Screengrabs) The first game of the FIDE Women's World Cup final between 19-year-old Divya Deshmukh and 38-year-old Grandmaster (GM) Koneru Humpy ended in a tense draw on Saturday in Batumi, Georgia. But it was the emotion on Divya's face at the end, hands covering her disappointment, that told the real story of a missed opportunity. Watch: Making her debut in a major final, Divya came in with bold intent. Playing with the white pieces, she surprised many by opening with 1.d4, a move she hadn't played all tournament. It was a clear sign of targeted preparation. For the first hour, the young International Master (IM) held a clear edge, pushing Humpy onto the back foot with sharp, aggressive moves. But as the clock ticked and pressure mounted, Divya began using significant time for key decisions. The advantage slowly began to slip away. Humpy, ever composed, showed why she's long been India's top female player. She neutralised the pressure with precise calculation and calm defence, turning the tables slowly without ever forcing the issue.

Her ambition was evident, but so was her fatigue. Eventually, neither player found a breakthrough. After 41 intense moves, the game concluded in a draw through repetition, a fitting result for a match that swung both ways but never fully tipped. Poll Who do you think will win the FIDE Women's World Cup final? Divya Deshmukh Koneru Humpy It's too close to call I don't follow chess For Divya, the disappointment was visible, not from the result itself, but perhaps from knowing she had a chance to land a crucial early blow. Game 2 will see Humpy take the white pieces. With one more classical game left, and possible tiebreaks after that, this final between experience and youth is just getting started.
