    New Delhi. The fourth match of the five-Test series between India and England is being played at the Oval. England won the toss and elected to bat first. But like Leeds, Indian batsmen have been seen surrendering to swing bowlers. Virat Kohli’s side were bowled out for 191 in 61.3 overs. Captain Virat Kohli played an innings of 50 runs for India. But fast bowler Shardul Tagore, who was returning to the team after recovering from injury, has scored more runs than him. Shardul made 57 off just balls.

    He hit four fours and six sixes. That is, 46 runs were scored from the boundary. Shardul completed his 50 runs with a six off Robinson. The Indian fast bowler completed 50 runs off just one ball. This is the fastest Test fifty in England. Before Shardul, this record was in the name of Ian Botham. In 1986, he made a half-century off 32 balls against 32 New Zealanders. Interestingly, both fifty came to the Oval. This is India’s second fastest half-century in Test cricket. Kapil Dev holds the Indian record for the fastest fifty in a Test.
