Rishabh Pant's spectacular twin centuries at Headingley, though insufficient to secure an Indian victory, have garnered widespread acclaim, with Michael Vaughan highlighting his "game-changer" status and deep cricketing intelligence. Despite Pant's heroics, India's fragile lower order and inconsistent bowling led to a five-wicket defeat for India.

Following their Headingley defeat, the Indian cricket team has commenced preparations for the second Test against England in Birmingham. Despite Jasprit Bumrah's presence, he refrained from on-field activities, while Prasidh Krishna was also absent from bowling drills. Coach Gautam Gambhir engaged in discussions with pacers, and players participated in net sessions.
