In the ongoing Test match between India and England, the home team is facing a challenging situation. Despite being seldom stretched at home, India finds itself under pressure after a dramatic loss in Hyderabad. The absence of key players, Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul, due to injuries has further complicated India’s task.
After tea, India loses Rajat Patidar, adding to their concerns. The team needs to come up with innovative strategies to counter England’s aggressive ‘Bazballers.’ The situation is reminiscent of three years ago when India, after losing the opening Test to England, bounced back to win the series. The second Test promises an exciting battle as India navigates through this testing period.
