Is England’s biggest Test win ever?? – Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) December 5, 2022
While Vaughan hasn’t stopped praising Ben Stokes’ leadership in the remarkable win, not everyone on Twitter thought it was the greatest Test win. A majority of 51.9 percent voted no. Some even took it upon themselves to remind them of matches that according to them were more important.
Responding to Vaughan’s tweet, some suggested that India’s win over Australia at the Gabba in 2021 was the biggest Test win ever.
India’s win over Australia in the Gabba Test down any day!— To the point (@skejanthkar) December 5, 2022
So many strong reasons that no one will come close to an India win at Gabba One! 🙌 Quality of the opposition (I assume you are aware of this as the Ashes happened not so long ago) The leader of India’s attack was the first player in that series and his partner was a net bowler, – Joffin J ( @j_jophin) December 5, 2022

While others thought that the title should go to India’s victory over Australia in Kolkata in 2001.
