India vs England: Top Performers from Previous 3 Tests to Watch in 4th Test

With the England vs India 4th Test 2025 just around the corner, all eyes are on the players who’ve already made a serious impact in the first three matches of the series. From in-form batters to relentless pacers, this series has delivered standout performances on both sides, setting the stage for an intense showdown at Old Trafford.

Here’s a complete look at the top performers in the India vs England Test series so far, with player stats, form guide, and key names to watch as the 4th Test kicks off on July 23.

Leading Batsmen in the Series (So Far)

Yashasvi Jaiswal (India)

• Runs: 298
   
• Innings: 6
   
• Best Score: 122
   
• Why Watch: Jaiswal has been India’s most consistent batter so far. His fearless strokeplay at the top has set the tone in multiple innings, and his temperament in foreign conditions has impressed experts.
   

Joe Root (England)

• Runs: 265
   
• Innings: 6
   
• Best Score: 88
   
• Why Watch: Root remains England’s backbone. Although he hasn’t hit a century yet this series, his ability to handle Indian spin and build long innings will be vital in Manchester.
   

Virat Kohli (India)

• Runs: 201
   
• Innings: 4
   
• Best Score: 96
   
• Why Watch: After returning to the squad in the 2nd Test, Kohli has looked sharp and confident. He’s nearing a big hundred—and Old Trafford could be the venue for it.
   

Zak Crawley (England)

• Runs: 210
   
• Innings: 6
   
• Best Score: 78
   
• Why Watch: His positive starts have been crucial for England’s top order. If he can convert one of those 50s into a match-winning ton, it could tilt the balance England’s way.

Top Wicket-Takers in the Series

Jasprit Bumrah (India)

• Wickets: 17
   
• Best Figures: 6/45
   
• Why Watch: Bumrah has been India’s go-to bowler. His reverse swing, pace variations, and ability to dismantle tailenders have kept England in check.
   

Chris Woakes (England)

• Wickets: 12
   
• Best Figures: 5/49
   
• Why Watch: Woakes has stepped up in English conditions, especially with the new ball. His swing and bounce could be lethal again in Manchester.
   

Ravindra Jadeja (India)

• Wickets: 9
   
• Batting Bonus: Also has 156 runs
   
• Why Watch: Jadeja has quietly delivered with both bat and ball. His control in long spells and lower-order resistance make him one of India’s most valuable assets.
   

Mark Wood (England)

• Wickets: 10
   
• Strike Rate: 33
   
• Why Watch: Wood’s pace has troubled Indian batters, especially on Day 4 and 5 surfaces. If he stays fit through the 4th Test, he’ll be a key threat.

What to Expect at Old Trafford

Old Trafford has historically favoured seamers early in the match, with spinners getting assistance as the pitch wears down. This could make it the perfect setting for Bumrah and Woakes to extend their form—and for Jadeja and Hartley to come into play from Day 3 onward.
