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.

Recently, GeoCinema’s expert Zaheer Khan gave his opinion on Rohit Sharma’s role as a Test batsman and captain. He made this statement in GeoCinema, Sports18’s ‘Insider Preview IndvsEng’ before the Test series between India and England. Rohit Sharma’s role as a captain? Zaheer Khan: Everyone knows that Rohit Sharma is very successful as a captain and he keeps talking to all the players continuously. Rohit Sharma gives a lot of confidence to all the players with his words. We saw it in the World Cup also and the hallmark of his captaincy has been that he leads the team from the front. Rohit Sharma keeps talking continuously. When you have a leader who is constantly talking to you while walking, it increases the confidence of the entire group. So I think he has proved himself as a captain. Rohit Sharma’s role as an opener? Zaheer Khan: Ever since Rohit Sharma has played the opening role in Tests, he has scored some brilliant centuries even in difficult conditions. You saw that he batted very well in England also. Even in Chennai, it was seen that he had played such an innings which saved India from losing the match. Winning the toss and batting first and then completely destroying the opposition in the first innings is a great thing for any player at the highest level. It is going to be a five-match Test series and a lot of things will be going on in his mind not only as a batsman but also as a leader. He has also worked with Rahul Dravid and the selectors also know very well that Rohit Sharma rotates his players very well. Rohit Sharma is already prepared for whatever challenge he will face during the five-match Test series. He knows the pitches of India very well and must have given tips to all the players by now.

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.
