Joe Root has been in form since leaving the captaincy, while Jonny Bairstow, who gained form from the IPL, has averaged 120 plus around 400. Scored runs. Indian coach Rahul Dravid said on Wednesday, that England has won two matches by going close to defeat. We thought of his strength Instead of thinking about it, focus on your strength. India is third (58.33 percentage points) in the World Championship table after Australia (75 percentage points), and South Africa (71. 43 percentage points).
Nine months have passed since then and the then-captain Virat Kohli left the Test captaincy while Rohit Sharma, who became the captain after him, is not playing this match after being found corona positive. Vice-captain KL Rahul is also out of the team due to surgery. In such a situation, the responsibility of captaincy has been entrusted to Bumrah, who is one of the best fast bowlers in the history of Indian cricket and will be the 36th captain of the national team. He has been the leader of the fast attack but the challenge against Ben Stokess side will be different. Kapil Dev was the last fast bowler to captain the Indian team. Javagal Srinath and Zaheer Khan were never given vice-captaincy, so no fast bowler after 35 years Has become the captain of India. Although this arrangement has been made only for one match, in the future when the Indian team will go through a period of change, the selectors want to try all their options.
In the absence of Rohit and Rahul, India will have to work harder in batting. Coach Dravid expects match-winning innings from Virat Kohli. The practice match against Leicester remained like a net session. Facing James Anderson will not be easy for Shubman Gill or Shreyas Iyer. Hanuma Vihari is a strong player but he needs support from the other end. Cheteshwar Pujara has scored runs in county cricket but needs a different approach to open the innings. Now it has to be seen whether the Indian team takes Ravichandran Ashwin or Shardul.
if we talk about the pitch of Edgbaston Stadium, then it is a high-scoring ground, which helps the bowlers. Especially if the fast bowlers are successful in getting the swing, then they are likely to get more help than the spinners. In such a situation, the batsmen will have to start cautiously. James Anderson and Stuart Broad have a tremendous record on this ground. Therefore, the batsmen of Team India will need special attention.
