They have become the first team to lose a Test match despite scoring 5 centuries in the match. In the Leeds Test, India scored 471 and 364 runs, while England scored 465 in the first innings and 373/5 in the second innings. England achieved the target of 371 runs for the loss of 5 wickets.
At Leeds Headingley, the Indian cricket team did something that no other team has done in the 150-year history of Test cricket, but still no Indian cricketer can boast of this feat, and may even face embarrassment. After losing the match to England by five wickets, India became the first team in the history of Test cricket to fail to save the match despite scoring five centuries. In the first innings, Yasushi Jaiswal scored 101, Shubman Gill 147 and Rishabh Pant 134 runs for India. In the second innings, Rishabh Pant scored 118 and KL Rahul also scored 137 runs. But despite these five centuries, India lost the match.
Earlier, the maximum number of centuries was scored by a losing team in a Test and this event has also been going on for almost a century. 96 years ago in 1929, the Australian team failed to win the match against England in Melbourne despite scoring 4 centuries. Apart from this, despite scoring 3 centuries in the match, teams failed 11 times, but like India, no team faced defeat despite scoring 5 centuries.
