India vs England Live Score: Captaincy debuts - A look at Indian Test captains' first matches in charge

As Shubman Gill begins his Test captaincy stint with a five-wicket defeat at Headingley, here’s a look back at how the last 10 Indian Test captains fared in their debut matches as leaders:

Jasprit Bumrah (2022, Birmingham vs England)
Bumrah became the first fast bowler to captain India in Tests in decades. He picked up five wickets in the match, but England chased down 378 to win by seven wickets.

Rohit Sharma (2022, Mohali vs Sri Lanka)
Rohit began his captaincy tenure in style, leading India to an innings and 222-run victory. Though he scored only 29, it was a dominant team performance in his debut Test as skipper.

KL Rahul (2022, Johannesburg vs South Africa)
Rahul scored a gritty 50 in the first innings but couldn’t stop India from slipping to a seven-wicket defeat. His brief stint as stand-in captain showed promise but lacked a result to match.

Ajinkya Rahane (2017, Dharamsala vs Australia)
Rahane led from the front with calm assurance, guiding India to a comfortable eight-wicket win. His knocks of 46 and an unbeaten 38* helped seal the series.

Virat Kohli (2014, Adelaide vs Australia)
Kohli’s captaincy debut was a memorable one. Taking charge in Adelaide, he scored centuries in both innings — 115 and 141 and almost guiding India to a dramatic win. Though India lost by 48 runs, Kohli made a powerful statement as leader and batter.

MS Dhoni (2008, Kanpur vs South Africa)
Dhoni’s Test captaincy began with a win. He made 32 in his only innings and India chased down a small fourth-innings target with ease.

Anil Kumble (2007, Delhi vs Pakistan)
India’s legendary spinner had a dream start as captain, taking 7 wickets in the match and helping India to a six-wicket win in a closely contested Test.

Virender Sehwag (2005, Ahmedabad vs Sri Lanka)
Sehwag had a forgettable outing with the bat with the scores of 20 and 0 — but India won by 259 runs, thanks to strong performances from others.

Rahul Dravid (2003, Mohali vs New Zealand)
Dravid’s captaincy debut ended in a draw. With the bat, he managed only 13 and 5, in a match dominated by New Zealand’s big first-innings total.

Sourav Ganguly (2000, Dhaka vs Bangladesh)
Ganguly began with a commanding win against Bangladesh. He scored 84 and watched his side chase down a small target with ease, kickstarting a significant leadership era in Indian cricket.

It's all over! SIX – England Bazball their way to victory!

Jamie Smith launches Ravindra Jadeja into the stands to seal the win, and the celebrations begin.

A broad smile lights up Smith’s face as he walks over to Joe Root — the duo embrace, beaming with satisfaction.

England have chased down 371 in true Bazball fashion, outplaying India on the final day at Headingley.

22:56 (IST), Jun, 24

22:51 (IST), Jun, 24

India vs England Live Score: Fifty for Root!

FOUR!

Thick outside edge and it flies past the outstretched right hand of the diving gully fielder. That’s a fifty for Joe Root, and the crowd erupts with a loud “Roooooot!”

A full outswinger outside off from Mohammed Siraj, Root walked into the drive, but the late movement took the edge. It flew at pace, gully moved sharply to his right but couldn’t get there.

England 355/5, need 16 more to win

22:48 (IST), Jun, 24

India vs England Live Score: New Ball Taken!

The second new ball is due, and India have opted to take it right away.

The fourth umpire runs out with the fresh cherry. Rishabh Pant has a quick word with captain Shubman Gill, and it’ll be Mohammed Siraj to bowl with the new ball.

England 349/5, need 22 more to win

22:43 (IST), Jun, 24

IND vs ENG Live Score: FOUR!

Extra protection on the off-side, but Jamie Smith pierces the gap beautifully.

Full and outside off from Shardul Thakur, Smith opens the face of the bat and guides it past backward point to the third-man fence.

No chance for the fielder, and Thakur can only manage a wry smile.

England 348/5, need 23 more to win

22:30 (IST), Jun, 24

India vs England Live Score: FOUR!

Wide of the crease and tossed up full outside off from Ravindra Jadeja, Joe Root gets forward with soft hands to defend, but the thick outside edge flies past the diving Sai Sudharsan at gully. The quick outfield does the rest.

England 333/5, need 38 more to win

22:23 (IST), Jun, 24

IND vs ENG Live Score: Lead below 50 now

FOUR!

Tossed up full outside off from Ravindra Jadeja, and Jamie Smith leans forward to unleash a powerful drive. It races past cover, who dives to his right but can't get a hand on it. Crunched.

India’s lead drops below 50.

England 324/5, need 47 more to win

22:15 (IST), Jun, 24

India vs England Live Score: Tidy!

0 1 0 0 0 0 – Another tidy over from Ravindra Jadeja, keeping things tight from his end. However, India urgently need breakthroughs to shift the pressure back onto England. The hosts still have ample overs left to knock off the remaining runs.

England 313/5, need 58 more to win

21:58 (IST), Jun, 24

IND vs ENG Live Score: OUT! Stokes falls

Finally a big breakthrough for India!

The reverse-sweep proves costly for Ben Stokes. He was committed to playing that shot against Ravindra Jadeja, but this time it brings his downfall.

Slower and fuller outside off, landing right in the footholes, Stokes goes for the reverse but only manages a top-edge. It lobs straight to Shubman Gill at short third, who takes a comfortable catch and celebrates with visible relief.

A crucial breakthrough — could this be another twist in the tale? Interestingly, the field had just been adjusted for that very shot.

England 302/5, need 69 more to win

21:54 (IST), Jun, 24

India vs England Live Score: FOUR! FOUR!

BOOM! Back-to-back boundaries for Ben Stokes off Prasidh Krishna. England in full control now, and the momentum is firmly with them. The match is steadily slipping away from India.

India vs England Live Score: DRS! NOT OUT!

Big LBW appeal turned down by umpire Chris Gaffaney.

India opt for the review. UltraEdge confirms no bat, but ball-tracking shows it missing the stumps. A sigh of relief for England.

Shubman Gill looks stunned by the ball-tracking verdict. India have now lost all their reviews.

England 279/4, need 92 more to win

21:33 (IST), Jun, 24

IND vs ENG Live Score: FOUR!

Risky but effective from Joe Root!

Takes the full delivery on middle-stump from Ravindra Jadeja and nails the reverse sweep, placing it wide of short third. Races away to the boundary.

England 279/4, need 92 more to win

21:25 (IST), Jun, 24

India vs England Live Score: FOUR!

Fortuitous boundary! Full and wide outside off, Stokes throws his hands at it and gets a thick toe-end. It flies off the bat and threads the gap between wide slip and gully. India’s lead drops below 100 now.

England 273/4, need 98 more to win

21:22 (IST), Jun, 24

India vs England Live Score: Rain stops play! TEA BREAK!

Off they go again! The skies darkened suddenly and the drizzle returned, prompting the umpires to call the players off.

Tea has been taken on Day 5. The complexion of the game has shifted slightly in the last half hour, with India clawing back thanks to two quick wickets.

England 269/4, need 102 more to win

20:41 (IST), Jun, 24

India vs England Live Score: DRS! NOT OUT!

Review lost! Poor call from India.

Shubman Gill looked unsure, but Sai Sudharsan was convinced and persuaded him to go upstairs. The crowd roared in approval as the first replay appeared — it clearly came off Stokes' forearm. A good length delivery outside off, it reared up sharply as Stokes leaned across attempting a reverse-sweep. The ball lobbed off his arm and straight to short leg, prompting the appeal. UltraEdge confirms there was no bat involved, though it was close to the toe end. India are now left with just one review.

England 256/4 | Target 371

20:33 (IST), Jun, 24

India vs England Live Score: OUT! Two in two for Shardul!

Two in two for Shardul Thakur!

He's barely had a role to play so far in the match, and now he's flipping the script with back-to-back wickets. Brook goes for a golden duck, strangled down the leg side. A good length delivery drifting down, Brook shuffled across and ended up reaching for it awkwardly. He gets a faint tickle and Pant does the rest — sharp take diving to his left.

Brook wears a wry smile as he walks off, having followed up his 99 in the first innings with a duck here. Thakur is fired up, the Indian camp is buzzing — this could be a turning point!

England 253/4, need 118 more to win

20:30 (IST), Jun, 24

India vs England Live Score: OUT! Duckett falls

Big Wicket! Shardul Thakur gives India a massive breakthrough.

Ben Duckett falls for a magnificent 149!

India finally cling on to a chance, and it's Shardul Thakur who provides the much-needed breakthrough. A full delivery outside off, tempting Duckett into a drive. He obliges but is a touch early into the shot and can't keep it down. The ball flies quickly to short extra cover, where substitute Nitish Reddy dives to his left and takes a sharp catch.

A top-class innings from Duckett — aggressive, composed, and nearly took the game away from India. He walks off to a standing ovation, finishing with 149 off 170 balls, laced with 21 fours and a six. Over 200 runs in the match for him — a stellar performance.

England 253/3, need 118 runs

20:27 (IST), Jun, 24

IND vs ENG Live Score: 250 up for England!

FOUR! Ben Duckett reverse-sweeps it for a four off Ravindra Jadeja. The boundary brings up 250 for England.

Duckett nailed that reverse-sweep again! Tossed up full outside off, Duckett leans forward with intent and executes the shot to perfection, placing it fine enough to beat the fielder at third man to his right. One of his most productive strokes today - precise and effective.

England 252/2 | Target 371

20:15 (IST), Jun, 24

India vs England Live Score: SIX!

Wow! Unreal - a switch-hit for six!

What a stunning shot this is. Ravindra Jadeja slides one in full on leg-stump, but Ben Duckett (143*) quickly shapes up, switches his stance, and absolutely leathers it over backward point. Incredible timing, outrageous skill - a jaw-dropping stroke under pressure.

England 246/2, need 125 more to win

20:09 (IST), Jun, 24

IND vs ENG Live Score: FOUR!

BANG! Crunched through cover!

Full and in the slot outside off from Prasidh Krishna, Ben Duckett gets a big stride forward, drops his back knee and smashes it wide of the diving fielder at cover. Timed sweetly and placed perfectly into the gap.

England 233/2, need 138 more to win

19:56 (IST), Jun, 24

India vs England Live Score: FOUR!

Trademark Joe Root!

Back of a length outside off from Jasprit Bumrah, and Root gets on the back foot to punch it with an open face. He directs it nicely into the ground and past backward point. No stopping that - it races away to the fence.

England 219/2 | Target 371

19:41 (IST), Jun, 24

IND vs ENG Live Score: OUT! Prasidh strikes again

Bowled! The nip-backer does the trick!

Sharp delivery from Prasidh Krishna, aided by reverse swing with the shiny side inside. It jagged back in sharply, stayed a bit low, and snuck through Ollie Pope’s defence - flicking the pad before crashing into leg stump. A fist-pump from Prasidh as India break through again.

Right after the wicket, India huddled up with KL Rahul leading the charge. As the senior-most player in the XI, he rallied his teammates with words of encouragement - a crucial moment to lift the energy.

England 206/2 | Target 371

19:38 (IST), Jun, 24

India vs England Live Score: 200 up for England!

FOUR! Ollie Pope cuts it hard towards deep backward point for a boundary off Ravindra Jadeja. And it brings up 200 for the hosts.

Short and skidding through just outside off, Pope rocks back and nails the cut. No one at backward point, and it races away to the boundary. Cracking shot.

England 201/1, need 170 more to win

19:30 (IST), Jun, 24

IND vs ENG Live Score: FOUR & OUT!

Prasidh Krishna gets rid of Zak Crawley (65).

Finally a wicket for India! Caught by KL Rahul at slip!

Prasidh Krishna, not known for full-length deliveries, goes fuller this time and it pays off. Zak Crawley looks to drive but gets a thick outside edge that flies to KL Rahul at slip, who takes a sharp catch. Crawley departs after a well-made 65 off 126 balls (7 fours).

This after Crawley hit a four in the previous delivery off a short, pace-less ball outside off. Crawley had all the time in the world to rock back and nail the pull. He hit it with such power that even a full-stretch dive from Bumrah at mid-off couldn't stop it.

England 188/1 | Target 371

19:25 (IST), Jun, 24

India vs England Live Score: Welcome back!

It was only a brief interruption, with no overs lost. England still have 55 overs left in the day to complete the 371-run chase.

19:23 (IST), Jun, 24
19:22 (IST), Jun, 24

India vs England Live Score: GOOD NEWS!

The covers are coming off, and the Indian players are back out on the field. Play is set to resume shortly at Headingley.

19:21 (IST), Jun, 24

IND vs ENG Live Score: Rain halts play at Headingley

Rain interrupted play in the second session of the final day of the first Test between India and England at Headingley, with the hosts in a commanding position at 181 for no loss, chasing 371 for victory.

Openers Ben Duckett (105*) and Zak Crawley (59*) have laid a solid foundation, leaving England needing just 190 more runs to go 1–0 up in the five-match series.

Duckett brought up his sixth Test century with a commanding knock, peppered with 13 boundaries. The left-hander was given a reprieve on 98, when Yashasvi Jaiswal failed to latch on to a mishit pull at deep backward square leg off Mohammed Siraj.

Crawley, more measured in his approach, survived a chance earlier in the day when Jasprit Bumrah couldn’t hold on to a sharp return catch in his follow-through. The right-hander has struck six fours in his 119-ball stay.

19:05 (IST), Jun, 24

India vs England Live Score: RAIN!

Rain stops play at Headingley.

Oh dear, the players are going off as the rain intensifies. Umpire Paul Reiffel signals for the covers, much to the crowd’s disappointment. Duckett and Crawley sprint off the field, shielding their bats from the rain, while the Indian players take their time heading back.

The hover cover is swiftly in place. It’s overcast, but not particularly threatening — hopefully, just a passing drizzle blown in by the breeze. Still, the rain must stop completely before the umpires can consider a resumption.

England 181/0, need 190 more to win

18:57 (IST), Jun, 24

IND vs ENG Live Score: Hundred for Duckett!

FOUR – Century for Ben Duckett!

His sixth in Test cricket, and what a moment to bring it up!

Tossed up full and just outside off from Ravindra Jadeja, Duckett leans in and nails the reverse sweep once again, threading it perfectly through backward point for four. He jogs across, removes his helmet, and raises his bat in a calm, composed celebration.

Duckett had looked promising in the first innings but couldn’t convert — this time, he makes it count in style.

It’s the first century by an England opener in the fourth innings of a Test since Alastair Cook’s unbeaten 109 vs Bangladesh in Mirpur in 2010. It’s also Duckett’s first-ever second-innings ton in Test cricket.

England 176/0

18:56 (IST), Jun, 24

India vs England Live Score: DROPPED!

Oh No!

Dropped by Yashasvi Jaiswal running in from deep backward square-leg!

Mohammed Siraj bangs in a sharp short ball that hurries Ben Duckett, who miscues the pull. Jaiswal charges in but can't hold on — tough chance, but one India needed.

Siraj is livid, visibly frustrated, while Gambhir watches on with a stoic expression. A key moment missed.

England 168/0 | Target 371

18:51 (IST), Jun, 24

IND vs ENG Live Score: Big one for England!

0 4 0 4 0 1 – Jadeja under pressure as Duckett sweeps him away!

Ravindra Jadeja returned to the attack, but Ben Duckett (95*) greeted him with two identical sweeps for boundaries — both timed to perfection behind square. Nine runs came off the over as England continue to cruise in their pursuit of 371.

England 165/0, need 206 more to win.

18:48 (IST), Jun, 24

India vs England Live Score: STATS!

156* is the highest opening partnership in the fourth innings of a home Test for England, surpassing 154 between Geofrrey Boycott & Mike Brearley vs Australia in Nottingham in 1977.

18:41 (IST), Jun, 24

IND vs ENG Live Score: 150 up for England!

FOUR! Fortune favours Ben Duckett and England.

A thick edge flies between the keeper and the lone slip — just wide enough to evade KL Rahul’s reach, who signals that it dropped well in front. The ball races away to the boundary.

Meanwhile, a light mizzle continues at Headingley. It’s not heavy enough to halt play, though the umpires keep glancing nervously toward the western terrace.

England 150/0, need 221 more to win

18:37 (IST), Jun, 24

India vs England Live Score: Fifty for Crawley!

Zak Crawley completes his half-century, off 111 balls, with a single off Mohammed Siraj.

Fullish delivery on middle, Crawley leans forward and drives it smoothly in front of mid-on for a comfortable single. Raises his bat to acknowledge a well-made fifty - composed and assured knock from the England opener.

This is the first instance of both opening batters hitting 50+ scores in the fourth innings of a Headingley Test.

England 140/0 | Target 371

18:32 (IST), Jun, 24

IND vs ENG Live Score: FOUR!

Four off Jasprit Bumrah!

Glorious on-drive. Full and just outside off, Ben Duckett strides forward with elegance, presents the full face of the bat, and times it beautifully past mid-on. Poised and precise - a textbook stroke.

Runs are coming quite freely for the hosts.

England 133/0 | Target 371

18:24 (IST), Jun, 24

India vs England Live Score: UPDATE!

The drizzle is starting to intensify at Headingley, but play continues for now.

Meanwhile, England openers remain resolute at the crease, showing no signs of discomfort as they steadily chip away at the target.

18:21 (IST), Jun, 24

IND vs ENG Live Score: PROBING!

Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj began the post-lunch session with probing spells, testing the batters with tight lines and movement.

But India are still searching for the all-important breakthrough to shift momentum.

As things stand, England remain in control of their steep chase.

India vs England Live Score, 1st Test Day 5: Ben Duckett’s fluent 149 set the tone as England completed a thrilling five-wicket victory over India in the first Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series at Headingley on Tuesday.

Chasing a daunting 371-run target, the hosts reached 373/5 in just 82 overs, thanks to a dominant top-order effort and an unbroken 71-run partnership between Joe Root (53*) and debutant Jamie Smith (44*).

England began the final day at 21/0 and added 96 runs in the morning session without losing a wicket. Although India struck four times in the second session, including the key wicket of Duckett, England remained ahead in the chase.

India’s bowlers, led by Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja, toiled without sustained impact. Root’s calm presence and Smith’s aggressive strokeplay ensured a smooth finish.

England now lead the five-match series 1-0. The second Test is scheduled to begin on July 2 at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
