On Friday, India and England faced off in the fourth Test of their five-match series at the JSCA International Stadium in Ranchi.
Bet here on India vs England and other cricket matches!
England elected to bat first, but were rocked early as Bengal pacer Akash Deep took three wickets in the morning session on debut, to leave the visitors reeling at 112/5 at lunch. R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja took a wicket each in the morning as well.
Thereafter, it was all England as Joe Root played a superb, if sedate, knock. In the company of Ben Foakes (47) and Ollie Robinson (31*), he shepherded England to 302/7 by the close of play, himself unbeaten on 106.
What does the pinky finger gesture mean?
Root’s innings was the 31st century of his Test career, and tenth against India. As he struck Akash Deep through the covers for four to reach the three-figure mark, he celebrated in unique fashion. Root removed his helmet and acknowledged the crowd, before he and captain Ben Stokes exchanged gestures of the pinky finger at each other.
However, this is not the first time the two players have celebrated in this manner. In July 2022, when Root scored a century at Edgbaston again India, they did the same. The gesture comes from the film, ‘Elvis’, a biopic of rock star Elvis Presley.

When Stokes took over the England captaincy in 2022, he wanted his team to ‘play like rock stars’, and so the gesture was a tribute to Elvis and the film.
