Sunil gavaskar on ind vs eng test series: The five -match Test series between India and England ended on 4 August. But even after the end of this Anderson-Tendulkar series, questions are being raised on the England Cricket Board. Indian legendary cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has raised questions on ECB. In a conversation with Star Sports, Gavaskar openly said that when the series was played for the first time in the name of Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson, why both the players were not invited to give the trophy there.

Sunil Gavaskar raised questions on ECB

Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar said that no one was called from the Pataudi family there at the time of presentation. The England Cricket Board had said that the captain of the team that won the series will be given the Pataudi Trophy, but if the series became equal at 2-2, this decision had no meaning. Gavaskar further said that if such a series continues to end on par, then there is no use of this medal. It would have been better decided that this Pataudi Trophy would have been given to Man of the Series.

Sunil Gavaskar targeted the ECB not only on this matter but also for not calling Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson in the presentation. Gavaskar said that this was the first series called Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. As far as I know, both players were present there during the series. It would have been good that he would be called in the presentation ceremony. After all, why did he not be called.

Drew India-England series

The five-match Test series between India and England was drawn at 2-2. England won the first Test and the third Test match. At the same time, India won the second and fifth matches. The fourth Test match was drawn between the two teams.

Former England captain Nasir Hussain believes that despite performing well with the ball in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, Mohammad Siraj will be remembered to successfully catch Harry Brook’s catch on the fourth day of the ‘The Oval’ test.

On the first ball of the 35th over, Brook got a big life for 19 when Siraj, who came back to the ground after a short time, tried to take a catch in Deep on the famous ball, but Siraj’s foot touched from the boundary line while taking the catch. Despite good bowling in the entire series, Siraj can be remembered for this catch.

Hussain said on Sky Sports, “That was a match -changing moment. If the brook was out at that time, it could have been difficult for England.”

This proved to be an expensive mistake for India as Brook played a fast innings of 111 runs. This was Brook’s tenth Test century.

Hussein praised Brook, saying, “He kept his speed perfect, so that the route can play at the other end. The Brook has the strength, as well as the speed of his hands, so that he hits the ball easily. He pounces on any wide ball. He has scored 10 centuries in 50 innings, which is incredible and his future is bright because it is fleshing.

Former England captain Hussain also praised Joe Root. He said that Root played like a route. Anger barely played a shot. I do not know that I have ever seen him playing as well as a good cover drive, which is a big thing. That cover drives very well.

Joe Root also scored a 39th century of his Test career. He scored 12 fours off 152 balls and scored 105 runs.

Former cricketer and coach of the Indian cricket team Sanjay Bangar has said that Yashasvi Jaiswal lost his wicket of stump due to missing a direct ball while covering the stump. Yashasvi Jaiswal started the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy with an impressive century, but, since then his performance has been simple. In the first innings of the fifth Test of the series being played at The Oval, he was out lbw by scoring just 2 runs off the ball of fast bowler Gas Atkinson.

On Jaiswal’s wicket, Sanjay Bangar said, “Generally, it is believed that when the bowlers come to the round the wickets, the batsmen cover their stump all the time. Now, if you miss the ball then the mistake of mistake is very low. I believe that you can reach the middle stump A.”

Bangar said, “If you start with off stump and try to cover it constantly and miss the direct ball, then you do not have any chance. The same thing happened to Jaiswal.”

At the same time, former fast bowler Varun Aaron said on the wicket of KL Rahul, “Rahul was batting well, the ball he was out, he had a chance to score runs.

The fifth Test of the series between India and England has started at The Oval. India is 1-2 behind in this series. In such a situation, it can be equaled in the series only by winning this test. Captain Gill and Coach Gambhir would have expected a big and strong partnership for the wicket before Jaiswal and Rahul, but both could not do so. Jaiswal 2 and Rahul were dismissed for 14 runs.

A thrilling match between India and England is starting from today at The Oval ground. Shubman Gill & Team is 1-2 backward in the series, so Team India needs victory in it. England will win the series with the draw. In the absence of Ben Stokes, Oli Pope is commanding the England team. Know how the record of the Indian team has been on this London ground, which Indian batsman has scored the most runs and who has taken the most wickets.

Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly praised wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant for a brilliant and adventure in the ongoing Test series in England. However, he is out of the final Test decisively due to a fracture in the leg of 27 -year -old Pant.

Pant emerged as one of the best players in India on this tour. He scored 479 runs in seven innings, including two centuries in the first match of the series in Handingley and a 74 -run adventure in the Lord’s Test despite an injury to the Lord’s Test. His form and firmness became an important feature of India’s campaign, as he struggled to equalize the five-match series, in which England is currently ahead 2–1.

Ganguly said, “He is a very good Test player. He is injured and fractured his leg; he will take time to recover. He has batted brilliantly in the series.”

Pant was hurt during India’s first innings of the fourth Test, when a dangerous yorker of England fast bowler Chris Woakes was on his leg. The ball hit his bat and got into his boot, causing fracture and he had to retired. After this, he returned the next day and played a brilliant half -century of 54 runs despite being in trouble.

Sourav Ganguly also appreciated the team’s efforts, where India batted for more than 140 overs and draws the match. Referring to the centuries who saved the matches of both all -rounders, Ganguly said, “India played good cricket and saved the Test match after batting for more than 140 overs. Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar really performed well.”

Indian fast bowler Mohammad Siraj told whether fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah will play in the fourth Test match starting in Manchester from Wednesday. Given the workload of Bumrah, before the series started in the team management, it was decided that this fast bowler would play only three matches in the five -match Test series.

This news is a great relief news for those Indian fans, who were saddened by the injuries of fast bowlers Akash Deep and Arshdeep Singh. Due to the injured players, the Indian team had to call Anshul Kamboj as a cover.

India is 1-2 behind in the five-match series, in such a situation, he naturally went to Bumrah, which is being handled carefully and will play only in three Tests. Bumrah played the first and third Test matches and India suffered defeat in both matches. Now Team India is expected to return to the important fourth Test match.

Siraj said in a press conference on Monday, “Jassi Bhai will play, as far as I know.” He said about his fellow fast bowler, “Akashdeep has a problem in the waist, he bowled today and will now see the physio, the combination is changing, but we need to bowl in good areas. The plan is simple, bowling in good areas only.”

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday confirmed that all -rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy was out of the remaining matches of the series due to left knee injury.

Nitish, who did not play in the first Test, who played in the second and third Tests, will return home. This all -rounder did not perform well in Birmingham, but he contributed significantly to both bat and ball in Lord’s. In his absence, the way for the return of Shardul Thakur, who played the first Test, may open.

At the same time, left -arm fast bowler Arshdeep Singh was injured while bowling on the nets in a training session at Bekenham and was out of the fourth Test. The medical team of BCCI is monitoring their progress.

Kuldeep Yadav is included in the Indian team for 5 Test matches on England tour. He has not got a chance to play in the first 3 Tests. Kuldeep Yadav’s coach Kapil Pandey has said that India is to win more important than Kuldeep’s playing.

Talking to IANS, Kapil Pandey said that playing Kuldeep is not as important as the country to win. Team India is doing well. Initially it was thought that Kuldeep would get a place in the playing XI, but, the fast bowlers performed well and took out the wicket. Therefore, they have not been able to get a chance yet.

He said that Kuldeep is in the best form. His performance in the Champions Trophy, World Cup was excellent. I think Kuldeep is not getting a place due to batting, but, so far the team has lost the matches due to the batsmen in the series. The bowlers have performed well. You cannot expect 100 runs from Jaspreet Bumrah or Kuldeep Yadav.

Kapil Pandey said that he had a conversation with Kuldeep. They are advised to stay fit and to play, play and perform their best whenever they get a chance. Kuldeep is currently the best spinner in the country.

Kuldeep Yadav is counted not only among the best spinners in India but also in the world. In every format, he has done well for the country. He has got very little a chance to play Tests. Kuldeep has played 13 Tests so far, taking 56 wickets.

Kuldeep Yadav has also worked on his batting in recent times, but, as a spinner and batsman Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, they are not getting a chance.

Team India is playing five -match Test series in England itself

Team India is playing a five -match Test series in England under the captaincy of Shubman Gill. There have been three matches. India lost by 22 runs in the last Test, after which it is 2–1 in the series. Now the Indian team would like to return to the fourth Test to equalize the series.

IND vs Eng: Indian captain Shubman Gill hoped on Monday that wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant will fit to play in the fourth Test to be held in Manchester as there has been no major injury in his finger in the scan (investigation).

In the second session on the early day of the recently concluded the third Test against England, Pant had to leave the ground after an injury to the left index finger. Gill said in a press conference after the match, “Pant went for a scan. There is no major injury, so he should be cured for the fourth Test in Manchester. ”

Gill did not even say whether Jasprit Bumrah will be available for the next Test starting after a gap of nine days. In the 34th over of England’s innings, Pant was groaning in pain after hitting the left off of Jasprit Bumrah to the left. He did not take wicketkeeping after this. Dhruv Jurael took the front behind the wicket in his place.

Pant, however, did not look comfortable while batting in India’s second innings. He was dismissed by scoring nine runs. England are ahead 2–1 in the five-match series and its fourth Test will be played from 23 July.

Team India’s defeat in third test

In order to win the third Test, the Indian cricket team got a target of 193 runs, in response to which Team India’s innings was reduced to 170 runs on the fifth day.

Rocky Flintoff, son of former captain Andrew Flintoff, scored 93 runs but England’s under-19 team could only manage 239 for five wickets till the stumps against the Indian team on the second day of the four-day youth Test here on Sunday.

With a 152 -ball innings of Flintoff, the domestic team ensured that it would not be completely shattered in front of the huge score of 540 runs in India’s first innings. He is still 310 runs behind the visiting team.

Thomas Rev was playing three runs till the stump while Eknath Singh did not open the account.

Rocky got an ideal partner as captain Hamza Sheikh (84 runs) after the early dismissal of Archie Vaughan, son of former England captain Michael Vaughan and former England opener Jaydon Denley. He added 154 runs for the third wicket to England’s score to 191 for two wickets, but Vaibhav Suryavanshi dismissed Sheikh with a spin bowling.
