India lost the 1st Test to England at Headingley despite five Indian players scoring centuries — a first in 148 years of Test history. Chasing 371, England clinched victory with five wickets to spare, led by Ben Duckett’s outstanding 149 on Day 5. Shubman Gill, in his first match as India’s Test captain, witnessed a painful defeat as Rishabh Pant scored twin tons, and Jaiswal, Rahul, and Gill also contributed centuries. Yet, India couldn't defend their total, marking a historic anomaly in Test cricket. England now lead the five-match series 1-0 in a thrilling start to the summer contest. (PC: BCCI)
