In the match, Team India won the toss and decided to bat first. Rajat Patidar got a chance to debut for India. Whereas 20-year-old Shoaib Bashir made his debut in international cricket for England. Let us tell you that just a few months ago, Shoaib Bashir made his first-class debut for Somerset in the English County Championship match against Essex. However, despite poor performances in his initial matches, Bashir managed to impress England captain Ben Stokes. Actually, Somerset had released the video of Bashir bowling against the brilliant spin player Alastair Cook from the social media platform ‘X’. In that video, Bashir, who was 19 years old at that time, had completely dodged the legendary batsman. After watching the video clip, Stokes immediately forwarded it to a WhatsApp group in which head coach Brendon McCullum and ECB managing director Rob Key were connected. I forwarded that clip: Stokes Talking about that moment, the England Test captain said, “To be honest, the first live glimpse I got was at the bash in Abu Dhabi, the first time I saw him was on Twitter. The County Championship had posted a short clip of his bowling against Sir Alistair. I’m in a WhatsApp group with Kessie and Baz. I actually forwarded that clip and said, take a look at this, this is something we can work with on our India tour. I saw some. The height from which he bowled, it was very clear that there was a lot of action, a lot of spin on the ball. This was something that I saw and thought, this could be very good for India. I have played a lot of games here. As a batsman, you know what is difficult to face, especially from a spin perspective.
IND vs ENG: 3 big reasons due to which Washington Sundar should get a chance to play in the second test match against England
The second test match between India and England will be played from February 2. Washington Sundar (photo source: X/Twitter) Currently, a five-match Test series is going on between India and England. So after winning by 28 runs in the first Test match held in Hyderabad, the enthusiasm of the visiting England is at its peak. On the other hand, now the second match of this Test series will be played in Visakhapatnam from Friday, February 2. By winning this match, the Indian team will be eyeing a comeback in the Test series. However, it is not going to be so easy for India. Because all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul will not be able to participate in this match due to injuries. In such a situation, the Indian team management may face a problem as to which player should be selected for the playing eleven in this match. However, BCCI has added Saurabh Kumar and Washington Sundar to the team as replacements for both the players. But it will be worth seeing which player the management gives a chance in the second test match against England tomorrow. But today we are going to tell you about three big reasons why all-rounder Washington Sundar should play in this match. 1. The team will get an extra off-spinner Washington Sundar. (Photo Source: Getty Images) If the Indian team management gives Sundar a chance in the second Test match against England to be held in Vizag, then an extra spinner is going to be seen playing in the team. If Sundar is successful in playing the second game, he will be seen helping the experienced Ravi Ashwin in the team, who himself is an off-spinner and had impressed with his bowling in the first Test match. Apart from this, there are three left-handed batsmen in England’s top batting, so if this point is considered then the management can give a chance to Washington Sundar in the playing eleven. Also, there is a lot of variation in Sundar’s bowling, so left-handed players will not have much opportunity to bowl reverse sweep.
Jack Crowley talks openly about the strategy of sweep and reverse sweep against Indian spinners.
Jack Crawley said, sweep and reverse sweep are good options when the ball is spinning. India v England (Image Source : Twitter) The England team defeated India by 28 runs in the first match of the five-Test series to take a 1-0 lead in the series. In the Hyderabad Test, the English batsmen faced the Indian spinners bravely, especially Ollie Pope, who played a brilliant century. Meanwhile, opening batsman Zak Crawley says that the use of sweep and reverse sweep by the English batsmen against Indian spinners is a perfect way to throw out the spin plan. Zak Crawley scored 20 and 31 runs in both the innings respectively. Despite not playing big innings, Crawley played an important role in giving England a great start. Speaking at a press conference ahead of the second Test, Crawley elaborated on the strategy of playing a sweep or reverse sweep. It takes the spin out of the plan – Jack Crowley He said, I think sweep and reverse sweep are good options when the ball is spinning. This takes spin out of the plan. I think reverse sweep is common for us because the ground is less there. It seems they always have two men on the leg side. If they had two men on the other side, we might have played a sweep. The reverse sweep probably comes as naturally to us as the common sweep. Speaking on baseball, he said, it (baseball) comes naturally because many teams are playing more aggressively. When I first came to England the mentality was to take my time and play a long innings. I didn’t think it would come naturally to me and some other people. A lot of us play a little better under that. Zak Crawley feels that the Indian team is very strong in its home conditions despite the absence of many key players in the upcoming second Test. Let us tell you that Virat Kohli is already out of two Tests, while KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja suffered injuries, due to which they have been ruled out of the second Test.

Nasir Hussain praised James Anderson fiercely Speaking to Sky Sports after the end of the second day’s play, Hussain said that given his excellent record in the subcontinent over the last few years, Anderson should have played. They said that, Anderson’s skill has been excellent in the subcontinent over the last few years. Anderson is a very good player when he is in the team. He is the greatest England bowler ever. I had said before the match, I would have played Anderson. I was a bit surprised by the balance of the team because along with Root, India have four spinners and one seamer. Anderson gives you control. It is not that you have to keep Anderson only in the playing XI, you could have kept Ollie Robinson also, there should have been only one more fast bowler in the team. Anderson is one of the most successful bowlers in the Asian subcontinent, taking 82 wickets in 28 Test matches at an average of 26.78. This experienced player has also taken 34 wickets in his 13 Test matches in India. He played a key role in England’s 2012/13 series win. The former cricketer said that England could have given a chance to Ollie Robinson during the first Test match against India. He said, “You are always a better player when you are out, Anderson was a very good player and when he is in, he is a very good player. He is the greatest England bowler ever.”
