Shubhman Gill Needs Batsman Like Vengsarkar I ‘Colonel’ buried the flag, became ‘Chhava’ and fought alone in 1986

New Delhi. The tour of 2025 will begin from the Leeds ground where India last defeated England and won the series in 1986. In this match, a batsman, known as ‘Colonel’ in Team India, played such an innings which is one of the best innings played on this ground. This innings was also special for this because this century was made in the third innings of the match. Now the big question is whether any such ‘Colonel’ is with Shubman Gill who can win the team alone.

England scored 294 runs at the grounds of Lord’s Mecca, which is called the Mecca of Cricket. India took a lead of 47 runs by scoring 341 runs in response. Dilip Vengsarkar played an unbeaten innings of 126* runs, which included 16 fours. This was his third Test century at Lord’s, and he became the first foreign batsman to score a century in three consecutive Test matches. The 1986 tour of England is a milestone in Indian cricket history. Dilip Vengsarkar’s brilliant batting gave him the status of ‘Hero of Series’. His technical mastery and restrained sports helped India win the Test series for the first time in England. This series became an inspiration for Indian cricket and today when we are dreaming of winning the series again after 19 years, we need a batsman like ‘Colonel’ in the team to fulfill it.
