After the centuries of KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, it was felt that India would bat on the fourth day and the target would give more than 400.

Dinesh Karthik made fun of Team India?

Dinesh Karthik, referring to a viral meme, targeted the lower order batsmen of Team India. He said, “I saw a meme on social media, in which Team India’s batting lineup was described as Daburman Dog. Because the head of that dog is fine, the middle part is also correct but not ask.” After this, everyone starts laughing.

Indian team has a chance to create history

In the first Test against England, Rahul got a chance to start the innings with Yashasvi Jaiswal. He scored 42 in the first innings and 137 runs in the second innings.

What did KL Rahul say?

He was sent to batting at some sometimes to start innings and sometimes for batting at 3 and sometimes 6. This made the question whether Rahul was not happy with changing his batting order earlier, but after that he said that whatever responsibility I was given to me. This gave Rahul a chance to challenge himself. Rahul said, “I am enjoying my role as an opener in the last few series.”

KL Rahul has spoken about his batting position many times before, he has said that he does not make much difference from the batting position, he just wants to play, no matter what position.

India vs England will be exciting for the fifth day game

Today, June 24 is the last day of India vs England Leeds Test. England need 350 runs to win and the Indian team 10 wickets. Rahul said about this that this will be an interesting day. It will be like a blockbuster film. The wicket seems to be difficult than before and we will try to create as much pressure as we are.

India vs england 1st test: Today is the last day of the first Test being played at Leeds’s Headingley Cricket Ground. England cricket team needs 350 runs to win and the Indian cricket team needs 10 wickets. England has never played a draw on this ground since 2018, he has won all the matches. But Shubman Gill and Team can create history, Jasprit Bumrah will have all eyes because they can collapse English batting. Know which are the 3 things that Indian players will have to do to win today.

India scored 371 in the first innings and England scored 465 runs. In the second innings too, the lower order batsmen of the Indian team collapsed. There were 4 wickets at 333 and the next 6 wickets fell within 31 runs. India’s second innings ended at 364 and England got a target of 371 to win. England have scored 21 runs and now they need 350 runs to win on the fifth day. The whole is now on Indian bowling.

Jasprit Bumrah needs other bowlers

Bumrah had also given a great start in the first innings, took wickets but no bowler was supporting him from the second end and that is why England’s innings also reached 465. But today Bumrah will also have to support the famous Krishna and Mohammad Siraj. If they could not get these wickets, Shubman Gill will have to give the ball to Shardul Thakur quickly, in the last innings, only 6 overs were given to him. The famous and Siraj proved to be very expensive in the previous innings, he would have to stop the runs and take wickets. It will be difficult to win on the strength of Jaspreet Bumrah alone.

Fielding improvement

India’s biggest weakness has been its fielding, in the previous innings, India would not have a gain of at least 100 runs but if the fielding would have been good. Indian fielders had left 5 catches that innings, which also proved to be very expensive. Such a mistake should not be made in the second innings, the fielding level will have to be improved. Not only good catch but also doubles will have to be curbed.

Wickets in the first session

The first session will be the most important on the last day of India vs England Test. The one who won it, as if he matched him. India should definitely take at least 3 wickets in the first session. The bowlers can support the weather there because according to the report, the leads will be cloudy today and there is a possibility of drizzle. Although yesterday, KL Rahul batted carefully in such a situation, but Bumrah-Siraj should not allow the top order batsmen to last.

Jack Croli was struggling in front of Bumrah yesterday, so there is a possibility that the Indian bowlers will soon dismiss him. Oli Pope, Joe Root and Ben Stokes will be the most important batsmen today, they will have to be dismissed as soon as possible.

Let us know what will be the strategy of India on the fourth day today?

Bumrah took 5 wicket hall for 14th time, Brook missed a century

Jasprit Bumrah completed his 5 wickets with the last wicket of the innings. This was the 14th time in Test cricket when Bumrah took 5 or more wickets in an innings. Bumrah took the wickets of Jack Croly, Ben Docket, Jo Rut, Chris Woakes and Josh Tung. Although Indian fielders left many catches on their balls, otherwise the situation would have been different and India would have a lead of at least 100 runs.

India’s poor start in second innings

In India’s first innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed by scoring 4 runs, he was caught by Bridan Cars. After this, Sai Sudarshan was a victim of Ben Stokes after scoring 30 runs, although earlier he got life on the score of 24. On Josh Tung’s ball, Ben Docket left his catch, but he could not take advantage of this life and after adding 6 runs and catching Caruli on the short mid -wicket.

What will be the strategy of the Indian team on the fourth day?

India vs England is very less likely to rain in the fourth Test, this is very good news for Indian batsmen. The pitch of the headingley will be favorable for batting, but India will want Shubman Gill, KL Rahul play carefully, avoid taking risks.
