(Photo Source: Getty Images) England captain Ben Stokes has kept all his options open for the first match of the five-match Test series against India in Hyderabad. Given the history, the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium pitch is expected to help the spinners and with this in mind, Stokes said he would not hesitate to hand the new ball to Joe Root, who is a part-time spinner. Justifying his statement, the 32-year-old Stokes pointed out that Root has the ability to take the ball away from left-handed batsmen, which will come in handy against Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal. However, Stokes said that this decision completely depends on the circumstances of the match. Joe Root can bowl with the new ball – Ben Stokes Ben Stokes was quoted as saying by The Independent that,“It would be completely and utterly ‘serious’, as are most of my decisions. You might even see Ruthie getting the new ball, depending on what I feel. If (left-hander) Yashasvi Jaiswal opens the batting, you can see Root opening the bowling because he will take the ball away from him.” He further said, “When choosing a team it is about what you think will give you the best chance of winning and who will serve you better in certain circumstances. India is one of those places where you have to think more about selection than anywhere else in the world because here you select the team keeping the wicket in mind. Let us tell you that, England has announced its playing eleven for the first test match against India. Experienced fast bowler James Anderson has been left out of the first match against India. England has given opportunity to maximum spinners for the match to be held in Hyderabad. Tom Hatterley will play his debut match.

Let us tell you that England last won the Test series against India in 2012 in India. on that tour Alastair Cook was the captain of England. that baseball By placing emphasis on ideology, Cook believed that it provided England with a clear vision for success in India. As the series progresses, its importance for both the teams will increase further. Alastair Cook is very concerned about England’s preparations In his column for The Sunday Times Alastair Cook wrote that, “England’s problem will be their lack of match preparation. It would be good if there was some kind of unwritten agreement between countries to organize good practice matches in good conditions for the touring teams. I now think this is his best chance for success. They will not follow the traditional rules of batting in the subcontinent.” Alastair Cook impressed everyone with his stellar performance with the bat in the historic 2012 Test series. There he scored 562 runs in eight innings with an excellent average of 80.28. Now, the veteran players are quite unsure about star batsman Joe Root’s ability in subcontinent conditions. He cited Root’s stellar performance in Sri Lanka in 2021, where he scored 426 runs in four innings. Root further strengthened his potential with a brilliant double century against India in Chennai. Test specialist Cook believes Root has all the technology to succeed in the challenging subcontinental environment. He will perform well in this series against India. Also read: Venkatesh Iyer!

Kohli struggled alone for India in the second innings of the first Test match, but he did not have a partner. India lost that Test match, but made a strong comeback in the second and final match to win and end the series on a draw. Irfan Pathan gave a big statement regarding Virat Kohli Irfan Pathan on Star Sports said, “Virat Kohli is back to his best, this is good news for Indian cricket and Virat Kohli fans. He was exceptional in South Africa and had fantastic foot movement. “He is showing aggressive signs with his footwork and that could help him score runs in the Test series against England.” Kohli will be eyeing to complete 9000 Test runs in the series. To reach this record the batsman needs more than 150 runs. Kohli will be only the fourth Test batsman for India to reach 9,000 Test runs. Before him, Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar and Rahul Dravid have achieved this feat. Kohli is also close to his 30th Test century and needs just one more century to achieve the feat.

On the other hand, Shoaib Bashir and Tom Hartley have not yet debuted for the English team. India will not be shy at all in preparing spin friendly pitch – Kevin Pietersen Kevin Pietersen, in his column for The Times, said that the question is, will England be able to perform well with the spinners they have? This will be the thing that decides the series. It’s going to rotate. I actually played in Vizag (Visakhapatnam) recently. It was a T-20 match, there also the ball spun and bounced! “Looking at what happened in Cape Town last week, they won’t be shy about preparing spin-friendly pitches.” In the baseball era, Kevin Pietersen explained the art of defending the ball. He believes that cricketers need to spend time defending in the nets as this will give them the confidence to attack later. He assured that playing defense is not a negative thing as it can help cricketers get settled at the crease sooner. Also read: Yashasvi Jaiswal will now cement his place in the test format
I think that after this series he will completely establish himself in the Indian Test team – statement of the former veteran cricketer.
Jaiswal, who scored 171 runs in his debut match against West Indies, could score only 50 runs during the recently concluded two-Test series in South Africa. In this series, Shubman Gill, Indian captain Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer were able to score only 74, 60 and 41 runs respectively. Gavaskar also backed Shreyas Iyer to repeat the 2023 ODI World Cup success in the upcoming Test series. They said that, “In the World Cup, Shreyas Iyer batted brilliantly on Indian pitches, so I expect him to play like this at No. 5 in the Test series as well. He batted aggressively, was very cautious in the beginning and then added strokes later on. The pitch was a pleasure to read. I hope he repeats it.” In the 2023 ODI World Cup, Shreyas Iyer scored 530 runs in 11 innings, scoring two centuries and three half-centuries. The middle-order batsman has scored 707 runs in 12 Test matches at an average of 39.28, which includes one century and five fifties.

“He is the comeback king” – Aakash Chopra said a big thing in praise of Virat Kohli
Kohli started his Test career against West Indies in 2011 which was not so good and his performance in his first Test cricket tour of England in 2014 was disappointing. After being at his best for the next few years, the legendary batsman had to struggle again. Between 2019 and 2021, Virat Kohli had to struggle a lot to score even one run. In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Chopra singled out Virat Kohli’s records, especially run chases, aggressive captaincy and loyalty to Royal Challengers Bangalore as some of his defining qualities. He praised this batsman for his ability to make a comeback. Aakash Chopra is not tired of praising Virat Kohli Aakash Chopra said, “Last but not the least (Comeback King). You go up but then you fall. Everyone has to fall but the important thing is how many times one can climb again. He fell once in 2011-12 but got up again. After that, he ruled for eight to ten years. There was no mistake at all.” The former Indian opener further said, “That was a shock after which he probably decided – ‘Never again’. He played with consistent commitment but then this situation came again during Covid, when he was not scoring runs. He did not score a century for a long time. He missed many matches and many people ignored him.” Kohli did not score a century in all formats for almost three years after his 136 in the Pink Ball Test against Bangladesh at the Eden Gardens in November 2019. He averaged less than 30 in Test cricket in all three formats between 2020-2022. Also read: Before the start of IPL, De Villiers said a big thing about Will Jack
