    Why England’s win over India proves Test cricket delivers the best sporting drama

    July 22, 2025 - By 

    Test cricket, the longest and most traditional format of the game, has often faced criticism for being slow or outdated in the era of T20 fireworks and franchise leagues. But every once in a while, a match comes along that reaffirms its timeless magic. England’s dramatic win over India did just that. It wasn’t just about the result—it was about the battle, the strategy, the suspense, and the emotional rollercoaster spread over five days. This wasn’t just a game. It was theatre.
