Bumrah took 9 wickets in the second test match against England.
IND vs ENG 3rd Test: A five-match Test series is currently being played between India and England. Two test matches of the series have been played so far, in which both the teams have won one win each.
So now the third match of the series will be played from Thursday, February 15 at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot. However, before the start of this match, some photos of Rajkot’s pitch had gone viral on social media, seeing which former England player Michael Atherton has said that England has taken an excellent decision by adding an additional fast bowler to the team.
On the other hand, now former Indian fast bowler and World Cup 2011 champion player Zaheer Khan has given a big statement on the Rajkot pitch. Zaheer says that you will see some reverse swing from the pitch.
Zaheer Khan gave a big statement
Let us tell you that before the start of the third Test match between India and England in Rajkot, Zaheer Khan said on Jio Cinema – I hope that the pitch of Rajkot will be like that of Hyderabad and Vizag. You will also see reverse swing on the fourth and fifth days of the game. Spinners will dominate the game. If similar behavior is seen from the pitch, then spectators and fans will be seen enjoying the match.
Apart from this, Zaheer said about India’s playing eleven in the third test match – once you choose the team, it becomes a headache for you. Be it Akshar Patel or Kuldeep Yadav, you will include all of them in the team.
From this statement given by Zaheer Khan, you can guess that fast bowlers may see reverse swing from the pitch. Perhaps this is the reason why England has included Mark Wood and James Anderson in their team for the third Test match.
