Sports News: The Indian cricket team has once again created history. In the ongoing five-Test match series against England, Indian batsmen have established a historic record in Test cricket with their amazing performance.

Indian Batsmen Show Their Mettle, Hit 416 Boundaries in the Series
In the first innings of the fifth Test against England, Indian batsmen hit 23 boundaries, increasing the total number of boundaries in the series to 416. This figure is the highest ever in India's Test history. Previously, this record was 384 boundaries, also set against England in 1964. Such aggressive batting performance in the long and patient format of Test cricket shows that India's batting is now focused not only on staying at the crease but also on capitalizing on opportunities.
Army of Centurions: Six Indian Batsmen Score Centuries
The strength of the Indian batting can be gauged from the fact that 6 batsmen have scored centuries in the series so far. These are:
- Shubman Gill
- KL Rahul
- Rishabh Pant
- Yashasvi Jaiswal
- Ravindra Jadeja
- Washington Sundar
All these players are not only scoring runs but also scoring them quickly, which is also increasing the number of boundaries. This performance has further strengthened India's batting lineup's claim to be counted among the best in the world of cricket.
Shubman Gill: Series Superstar
Shubman Gill has become the highest run-scorer for India in this Test series, scoring 743 runs so far. During this period, he has scored four centuries and has shown a great mixture of class and aggression in every innings. He is followed by KL Rahul, who has scored 525 runs and scored two centuries. Both these batsmen have played an important role in giving the team a b start in the top order.
- Shubman Gill - 743 runs
- KL Rahul - 525 runs
- Rishabh Pant - 479 runs
- Ravindra Jadeja - 463 runs
- Yashasvi Jaiswal - 293 runs
- Washington Sundar - 224 runs
All these players have proved that the Indian Test team is no longer just a team for spin or home conditions, but is also capable of presenting a challenge for victory on foreign soil.
61-Year-Old Record Broken
India has achieved this historic feat by breaking a 61-year-old record. In 1964, India had hit 384 boundaries in a series against England. In that era, the pace of the game used to be slow, but in today's modern cricket, where we see a combination of fitness, strategy, and aggression, this record reflects the development of India's batting. Apart from this, India had hit 361 boundaries against Australia in 1979, but complete records of that figure are not available.
