ICC reveals historic records from England vs India 2025 Test series

The entire seven weeks of the five-match Test series between England and India had been incredibly fantastic. There were several moments where one went up and the other came back to pull them down. At the end, it was the fitting finish with Mohammed Siraj breaking the stumps of Gus Akinson to end the series on a 2-1 margin.

The ICC has revealed a few records from the five fixtures. India’s six-run victory at the Kennington Oval during the fifth clash is their smallest victory by runs in the longest format. It overtook India's 13-run win over Australia in Mumbai 21 years ago when they defended 106. In over 2600 games of men’s Test matches, it’s the seventh narrowest win.

The five games saw 7187 runs being scored across the two teams, which is the most in a five-match Test series. It has been bettered by only the 1993 Ashes series in the United Kingdom when 7221 runs were smashed. India’s Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, and KL Rahul became the sixth trio in Test history to pass 500 runs in the same series.

Only four other series have ever had three matches with the first innings gaps under 30 runs, including the last Ashes 2023. There were 45 bowled dismissals in the series, which is the most in any men’s Test series since 1984, and the most in a series held in England since 1976. Jasprit Bumrah, despite playing just three of the five games, claimed 10 wickets via this route.

The teams went through all the scheduled days of the series, with Mohammed Siraj bowling 18 of those 25 days. The last five-match Test series to go through all 25 days was the 2017/18 Ashes down under, with the tourists ending on a 4-0 defeat.

It was only the fourth time since 200 that a five-match series has seen all five clashes go to the five days, with the other instances being England’s tour of South Africa in 2004/05 and South Africa’s tour of West Indies 24 years ago.
