Despite being under massive pressure, India fought back bravely in their second innings of the Manchester Test and scored another 300+ total in the series. With their latest 300+ total, India set their new Test series record, which is very rare in Test cricket, first time since 1993. 

Visitors India started the fourth Test (Old Trafford in Manchester) of the five-match Test series (Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025) against the hosts England by trailing 2-1, and they were struggling at the end of the first innings battles, as the visitors were trailing by 311 runs before their second innings of the Test match. The situation became tougher for the visitors after falling on 0/2 in the first over of their second innings. 

While India's series-saving dream seemed over, opener KL Rahul, captain Shubman Gill, and middle-order batters Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja provided a strong fightback to save the Test match. While Rahul scored 90 runs, skipper Gill (103) scored his fourth century in the series, and both Sundar and Jadeja were batting 50+ runs at tea on the fifth day of the Test match. 

Before the tea break of the fifth day of the Manchester Test, India got the lead as they were batting on 322/4. While it was their seventh 300+ total in the Test series, it was the first time for India to score more than six 300+ totals in a bilateral Test series.

It was the first time since 1993 that a team scored 300+ totals at least seven times in a bilateral Test series. In the history of Test cricket, while India's latest achievement was the third time that a visiting team scored 300+ totals at least seven times in a bilateral Test series, it was the seventh time that any team scored at least seven 300+ totals in a bilateral Test series.
