The Indian team put up a score of 471 in their first innings, courtesy of three centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant in the ongoing ENG vs IND 1st Test at Leeds. However, for India, it would be a slightly underwhelming to end with a total below 500, especially after three of the top five batters made centuries
Stats further expose that the Men in Blue have the lowest team total when three players in a side have hit tons.
Lowest all-out totals to include three individual centuries
For the unversed, India were at a dominant position at 430/3 and from there, went to being bundled out for another 41 runs. The tail comprising Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna registered scores of 1, 0, 3*, 1 respectively.
