The top -order batsman Oli Pope, who scored a brilliant century in England’s first innings, said that after failing to fail in the Test series played against India against India last year, he helped him return to return.
England vice -captain Pope made a brilliant start in the first Test against India last year by scoring 196 runs in Hyderabad but after that Jasprit Bumrah and Indian spinner did not delay in revealing their weakness. He was able to score only 40 runs in the next four matches so that there was a discussion about his place in the team.
The Pope, who scored 106 runs in the first Test against India here, said after the third day’s game ended, “I have tried not to affect these discussions.”
He said, “I am just trying to make sure that my game is as much as possible and when I get into the field for batting, I should try to take full advantage of the opportunity. I did not pay attention to the discussions happening outside and focused on strengthening myself mentally and improving my game. ”
The Pope has tried to change his mindset, so that he does not feel too much pressure to reach his first 30 runs and then he is ready to play a big innings.
He said, “This is an attempt to make your game a little better. It is associated with the process, which I want to move forward with full pleasure. I do not want to show any hasty to score runs. It is my endeavor that my defense should be as good as possible. ”
Regarding his century innings, the Pope said, “It was definitely an innings that I really enjoyed.” I am very happy with the way I was playing and I am also happy with the level of my game.
