Possible playing XI for second Test: KL Rahul, Yashashvi Jaiswal, Sai Sudharshan, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, Karun Nair, Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Reddy, Kuldeep Yadav, Prasidh Krishna and Mohd Siraj. ( Bumrah rested)

It would not be a bad idea if Team India gives the new ball to Nitish Reddy. He has the ability to swing the ball and can be more effective with the new ball than being used in a Test match as a third/fourth seamer. In the eventuality of Bumrah being rested, Prasidh Krishna can

This is a strange statement from skipper Shubman Gill. Will Bumrah play? Answer is yes, no or won't disclose. Please don't say we will look at the pitch and decide on 11. There is no pitch in the world that Bumrah can't bowl on! Or that Team India can even afford to leave him

Kuldeep Yadav should practice batting. Open for Uttar Pradesh and play No.4 for Delhi Capitals. That is how he will play Test cricket for India. Dear Test cricket, please give one more chance to Kuldeep Yadav :)

Sony Sports Network ke TV Channels par a 𝙉𝙀𝙒 𝙀𝙍𝘼 has begun with a Naya Dhaakad Team India 🇮🇳 Renowned journalists from across the country join us on #SonySportsNetwork to cheer on the team with their good wishes 🎙️ #NayaIndia will rise to the English challenge 🙌

England has scored 407 but remember 6 of their batters were out on 0! From hereon, if India wobbles....who knows what might happen on final day! Another thriller on the cards

As we celebrate Mohd Siraj and Akash Deep, some introspection on Prasidh Krishna. Yes he went for bucket full of runs but he was merely assigned a task of bowling only short balls to Jamie Smith and Harry Brook by team management and skipper. That plot didn't work at all.

Will a draw here be enough for Team India to get its mojo back or they need to definitely win? If yes, then the big question in Shubman Gill's mind is what target and how many overs to bowl! If you give them 500, then England cant be given 4 sessions. So it has to be big runs

Wobble seam is the new reverse swing weapon on England pitches. Deliberate use of tilted seam by both India as England. It's a great tactic, allows movement off the deck that is difficult to comprehend. No wonder we have seen so many inside nicks and carried on dismissals.

Please celebrate Gautam Gambhir who first believed : 1) That Team India can transition without Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma 2) That Shubman Gill is the best skipper to lead Team India 3) Even without Bumrah, & playing just 3 Tests, we can win in England 4) That these youngsters

Is this the best Indian team to tour England as Shubman Gill said? Well, stats back that theory for sure! Two golden generation of batters came and went, none scored like these young guns... Sample this total: MS Dhoni's team of 2011 -- 5 Test, 3 hundreds (Line-up included

Looking at the Lord's pitch, inside a month from WTC final --- only 2 things are certain 1) England are afraid of Indian fast bowling, especially Bumrah 2) England batting can only flourish on flatbeds. Hence, when England plays, there is no bite. When anyone else plays, roll

Especially after what happened yesterday last over between Shubman Gill and Zak Crawley. how many of you think that Gill will his team in the huddle...'For the next 60 overs, they should feel hell out there'... It's the same Lord's venue and Gill has shown more traces of Virat's

I have seen somebody being a bunny in Test cricket, but I have never seen an opener being absolutely afraid of playing a bowler...just like Zak Crawley is horrified playing Bumrah. Bowlers or batters...England are either hiding them for Ashes or they need urgent talent

Is there anyone still asking Gautam Gambhir, including yours truly, why Washington Sundar and not Kuldeep Yadav !

3 Tests... India won 1, and lost 2 on the final day. It could have been 3-0 wishfully. So, should we celebrate a fiesty young Team India who has competed beautifully or rue our missed chances and discuss the changes in the playing XI.

Question of the day: Is the Old Trafford pitch flat or is it the Indian bowling attack? Any views? #INDvsENG

A ‘fast’ bowler with less than 130ks speed playing Test for India in Manchester. And a genuine good, hardworking, deserving bowler, Mukesh Kumar attending Bengal camp, training in rains in Kolkata. Indian cricket selection beauty! #INDvENG #INDVsENGLive #ENGvsIND #ENGvINDTest

So Sai Sudharshan gets two ducks in three innings... But he's young. Karun looked more assured but didnt convert his starts. So basically India is in no man's lands. Neither Karun, not convinced about Sai. And then there is Eashwaran waiting. Similarly is the case with Anshul

BCCI's silence and Asia Cup schedule has put a lot of players and coach in a fix. Should the players just bow down to their contract employers and just play silently? What if top players opt out and India lose to Pakistan? Does the result matter or boycott?
