Now that Virat Kohli will not play for the Indian team in the first two Test matches, the experience of the host’s middle order seems to be very less.

IND vs ENG: Akshar or Kuldeep, who should get a chance in the playing XI? Former veteran expressed his opinion
The first Test between India and England will be played from January 25. Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav. (Photo Source: Getty Images) Former Indian off-spinner and World Cup winner Harbhajan Singh has said that Team India will give first chance to Kuldeep Yadav as the third spinner to diversify India’s bowling attack in the upcoming Test series against England. However, meanwhile, the veteran spinner also explained why the team management could go with Akshar Patel before Kuldeep. India is set to play England in the much-awaited 5-Test series starting from January 25 in Hyderabad. R Ashwin, who is approaching 500 Test wickets, and Ravindra Jadeja are without a doubt the team’s first choice spinners. India has selected 4 spinners in its 16-member team. When England toured India for a 4-Test series in 2021, Axar Patel had a lot of success in his first series. The left-arm spinner took 27 wickets in his first 3 matches in Test cricket in that series. After being behind 1-0 in 2021, he played an important role in Team India winning the series 3-1. Harbhajan Singh gave a big statement regarding Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav Harbhajan Singh was quoted by PTI as saying, “From my point of view, when bowlers like R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja are present in the team, then the third spinner should be a specialist bowler like Kuldeep. He further said, “Kuldeep is a wrist spinner and his presence will provide variety to the team. I believe that Akshar is selected in the Test team because of his batting skills. He can contribute something to the team with the bat at number eight or nine.” Harbhajan, however, raised questions on ignoring Kuldeep and said, “Akshar is a better batsman but I do not understand why you need a batsman at number nine. That too of a player who is exactly like Jadeja.” He said, “By this you are reducing the diversity in bowling. According to me, Kuldeep should play in the team.” Also read: England team is secretly afraid of Rohit’s army.

Zaheer Khan. (Photo Source: Twitter) In a special show titled ‘Insiders Preview India vs England’ on JioCinema, Zaheer Khan, Parthiv Patel and Pragyan Ojha provided an important insight into the upcoming series. He told what fans can expect from the exciting tournament ahead. They discussed England’s point of view. During this, he also shared his opinion regarding the importance of baseball, pitches and toss. Zaheer Khan: These days you don’t often see five Test match series happening. Baseball will remain in focus and we’ll see if England’s approach remains the same. The kind of pitches we will play on will definitely be another point of discussion. But both the teams will be desperate to prove their superiority. 2) Baseball has been quite successful but has not been tested in India yet Pragyan Ojha: Baseball involves playing fearless cricket and England try to gain a psychological edge by using this strategy. It will be difficult to implement baseball in India because it will not be easy to play Indian spinners or Jasprit Bumrah and other fast bowlers. 3) Keeping in mind the World Test Championship, with what approach will India enter this series? Parthiv Patel: I think the Indian team will aim for 5-0. I think they need a 4-0 win to top the WTC standings. If we look at the last cycle, India has won many tests abroad. I don’t think India needs to change its approach. It is the visiting teams who will have to come up with different strategies. It remains to be seen whether baseball will work here or not. If the ball spins, I don’t think it will work here because India have quality spinners including Ashwin, Jadeja, Axar and Kuldeep. 4) After defeating Pakistan 3-0, with what confidence will England enter this series? Pragyan Ojha: I think he will be very confident with the strategy that England has adopted. But they need a backup plan. Because the situation will not be the same as it was in Pakistan. The wickets were slightly better and suited the batsmen. The conditions here will be favorable for spinners. So how they deal with it will be very important. His performance in the first Test will decide the direction of the series. 5) What kind of pitches will be seen in this series? Parthiv Patel: I think every ground will have its own character. We can see similar tracks in Hyderabad and Vizag also. In Rajkot, if they prepare a good wicket, we can see a lot of runs being scored. Their fast bowlers may hope to get some help in Dharamsala. Winning the toss will also be important for them. If they lose the toss it will be very difficult for them to make a comeback.
