“We are losing together, winning together.”
That was the words of a defiant and brave gautam Gambhira After the loss of India to England in the first test in the headingley. The Indian coach advocated the sunders after his presentation of the Sub-Par, came to support a lower order, which could not build on the platform set in the first five, and emphasized the fact that the team managed to publish a large score in both shifts. Although it is just one game that has ended, there are certainly several alarming stamps about the team to be solved.
Yes, it is a team in the transition. They just lost three of their main foundations in Virt Kohli, Rohit Sharma and R. Ashwin, who have decided to retire from the test cricket in the last few months. However, the transition phase cannot be used as an excuse to cover this loss in the headingley. India has now lost seven of its last nine tests. That’s just a pathetic run of the mold.
It was a match that India dominated a large part. Graphics of the winners of sessions, which in four days flashed through our TV screens, constantly showed India with a clear lead over the hosts. But when there was key moments, India lost conspiracy.
SHUBMAN GILL, in his interviews after the match, He said it was a young team and learn to trade in the field. But are they really so young?
In terms of age and experience, India actually held the advantage over the English side they faced in Leeds. The Indian team represented players with a large amount of international exhibition and extensive experience in IPL. Yet, when it mattered most, they dirty.
Although it is easy to refuse the result and attribute it to the team in the transition, the reasons for this defeat are shrinking to the basic cricket foundations. And this failure has already attacked their World Cup campaign and hopes to get to the finals.
“Cannot drop the catches at the highest level”
Catches to win that matches. Simple phrase that is always used in cricket-and has great value. It wasn’t as if England had not made mistakes in Headingley. They did it by leaving Kl Rahul and Rishabh trousers from the hook in the second shift, but those that India did did prove to be expensive.
India dropped Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope and Harry Brook in the first shifts, and all three continued to make a significant score that allowed England to reduce leadership to just six. It was supposed to be somewhere above a hundred to give India a good chance against England.
In the second shifts, Duckett was 98 and Jaiswal was dropped, who would like to forget Headingley despite his brilliant hundred. England Opener continued to score 149 and proved to be a difference.
A total of seven or eight caught catches do not paint a good picture and now India must be smarter. Sunil Gavascar said he would take a few days off and then go back to practice.
“You can take off next few days, but now you get into practice now. Leave this optional practice aside. Gavascar said.
Where is thinking in the match?
What does Jasprit Bumrah do one of the best in the world? In addition to its impressive arsenal of supplies, Bumrah is a chess player who develops every step and quickly makes changes according to the situation.
The same could be said of others? Well, no.
The team at the pace of the attack Mohammed Siri and Prasidh Krishna-Two Men, who gained praise for their work in IPL-looked toothless in Headley. Yes, it may be a different format, but as a pitch you have to think about your feet when something doesn’t work.
Prasidh maintained banking on his short -term vans that the English dough with ease postponed. In addition to the two goals of Jamie Smith and Harry Brook in the first shifts none of the other short balls worked and Karnataka Pacer admitted running over six in both shifts.
Although it was somewhat acceptable in the first shifts, Prasidh was supposed to be smarter and looked at the Bumrah and copied the lines he pulled to problems with the host. This could give control that was needed, and probably did things interesting.
The blame cannot only be placed on PrasidH here. An experienced warrior as Ravindra Jadeja He was criticized for being tactically awkward and not using harsh.
Indian pitchors have to work on many aspects to be polished, but the largest adapts to situations during the match.
While the final of the World Championship and the climax of this journey can still be far away, these red flags have always influenced the Indian cricket – and they seem to continue to do so. The transitional party needs time and it will be provided by Gill and Co. But these are players involved at the highest cricket level. While everyone declares their love for tests and says it is greater than anything else, it is time for this team to hold their words and do it.
Otherwise, there would be other WTC finals for the Indian team by reality.
