India Women Make History with Record-Breaking Victory in Test Cricket

In a landmark moment for women’s Test cricket, India’s triumphant display against England Women resulted in a historic 347-run win, marking the largest victory in this format. Led by captain Harmanpreet Kaur, India showcased remarkable prowess after a nine-year home Test hiatus.

Deepti Sharma’s stellar performance, with figures of 4/32 in the second innings, solidified India’s dominance. Despite Shubha’s unfortunate absence due to a fractured finger, India’s debutants—Satheesh, Rodrigues, and Renuka—shone, contributing to this monumental win.

This emphatic victory breaks a 15-Test winless streak against England and sets an inspiring precedent for the upcoming clash with Australia. India’s bowlers, notably Sharma and Pooja Vastrakar (3/23), dismantled England for 131, securing a resounding win.

India’s comprehensive performance underscores their readiness despite a two-year Test absence, reaffirming their position as a formidable force in women’s cricket.
