Shubman Gill Hits Century but Ben Stokes Fires England's Attack with Early Wicket Against India
- On July 27, 2025, at Old Trafford in Manchester, Shubman Gill reached a century for the fourth time in the series, while England's Ben Stokes secured a vital wicket during the fourth Test against India.
- Stokes faced fitness issues from a recurring hamstring injury that limited his bowling on previous days, leading to uncertainty about his bowling role on the final day.
- Despite his injury, Stokes returned to bowl early on the last day, breaking the partnership between KL Rahul and Gill by trapping Rahul LBW, while showing visible stiffness and limited mobility.
- Stokes scored 141 runs with 11 fours and three sixes and claimed 16 wickets this series, while Rahul fell for 90 and Gill was dismissed for 103, ending an unbroken 174-run partnership.
- England leads the series 2-1 and hopes to secure an unassailable lead as their assistant coach Marcus Trescothick expressed optimism about Stokes' recovery with rest and physio treatment.
