IND vs ENG: Did India backpedal on Shardul Thakur? Gautam Gambhir's statement before Australia series offers contrast
Shubman Gill, Shardul Thakur and Nitish Kumar Reddy during a nets session at Headingly. (AP Photo) NEW DELHI: In a twist to India's selection strategy, Shardul Thakur was named in the playing XI for the first Test against England at Headingley, raising eyebrows over the team's sudden pivot from recent choices. Just a few months ago, ahead of the Australia tour, head coach Gautam Gambhir had indicated that the selectors had moved on from the Mumbai all-rounder. Live Score: India vs England, 1st Test Day 1 The Indian team, now under the leadership of Shubman Gill, is entering a new red-ball era after the retirements of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravichandran Ashwin. But the inclusion of 33-year-old Thakur as the fourth pacer alongside Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Prasidh Krishna is being seen as a possible contradiction to the forward-looking stance taken earlier. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Before India left for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, Gambhir had openly backed youngster Nitish Kumar Reddy over Thakur. "It is also about moving forward," Gambhir had said at the pre-departure press conference. "We have picked the best squad who can do the job for us. Nitish Reddy, we all know how incredibly talented he is and if given an option, he will deliver for us." Poll Has the selection of Shardul Thakur contradicted the earlier selection strategy? Yes, it seems contradictory No, it's a tactical decision Thakur, however, now finds himself in the thick of action in England - a country where he has previously performed well, taking 10 wickets and scoring 173 runs in four matches on the last tour. While Gambhir's words then suggested a changing of the guard, India's team sheet in Leeds reveals a more pragmatic selection - perhaps dictated by Thakur's past success in English conditions, or a shift in thinking.

IND vs ENG: Did Sanjay Manjrekar take a dig at Virat Kohli in commentary? Watch video
File photo of Sanjay Manjrekar and Virat Kohli. Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar seemingly made indirect comments about Virat Kohli during the commentary of the first Test match between India and England at Headingley, Leeds on June 20. The remarks came during the 21st over of India's innings when the team were 77/0, with KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal at the crease. LIVE: India vs England 1st Test Day 1 Manjrekar's comments focused on the batting approach of the Indian openers, particularly their handling of deliveries outside the off-stump. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! While analysing the batting performance, Manjrekar initially praised the discipline shown by the Indian openers. He stressed how they were playing according to the merit of the ball despite the seemingly batting-friendly conditions. How Shubman Gill prepared for the first Test vs England in Leeds | Exclusive from Nets "Many would see this session and would think the pitch is placid. The seam bowlers haven't looked potent, one important reason it is seeing that way is these two have batted well. Potentially wicket-taking, outside the off-stump full and they have been left alone. Jaiswal has done that, anything that has pitched right up into the stump is driven anything that has pitched wide is not disturbed," Manjrekar said. The commentary took a different turn when Brydon Carse bowled a delivery on the sixth stump line to KL Rahul, who left it alone. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

We know of a former batter that would have gone after it and got himself into trouble but not these two," Manjrekar remarked during the live broadcast. The reference appeared to be directed at Kohli , who had recently announced his retirement from Test cricket. The context became clearer considering Kohli's performance during India's previous tour of Australia, where he was dismissed eight out of nine times while attempting to play deliveries pitched on the fifth and sixth stump line. Nick Knight EXCLUSIVE: On Shubman Gill and absence of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma in England The match proceeded with India's opening partnership reaching 91 runs before KL Rahul was dismissed by Brydon Carse for 42 runs off 78 balls. Rahul's dismissal came when he attempted to play a wide delivery outside off-stump, which resulted in an edge carried to Joe Root in the slip cordon. Following Rahul's wicket, debutant Sai Sudharsan was dismissed for a four-ball duck in the next over bowled by Ben Stokes. Sudharsan was caught behind by wicketkeeper Jamie Smith.

How familiar are you with Ben Stokes's England? Meet the first-timers vs India
While the spotlight will be on the Indian team with Shubman Gill taking charge as the Test captain, the hosts, England, are also in a transition of their own. The side has brought in new talents in both the batting and bowling departments who will be facing India for the first time when the two sides meet in the first of a five-match Test series in mix of experience and potential seems to be the theme with which both squads have been built. However, some of the new faces have the chance to showcase why they should be considered to be the future of the Test us have a look at these names and what we can expect from them in this five-match affair. | Leeds Test, Day 1 Updates |HARRY BROOK The 26-year-old star from Yorkshire has been touted to be the next big thing in English cricket after Joe Root. He has already taken the captaincy role in the limited-overs setup, but now he will be focused on making his mark in his first encounter against India. Despite being a talented batter, Brook has yet to showcase his dominance, at least at home. When looking at the numbers, he has played in England, New Zealand and Pakistan, where he averages 39, 75, and 84, he has some experience under his belt, he will certainly fancy his chances of putting up some big runs, especially against a worthy opposition like India, to show he has what it takes to perform in the big SMITHThe Surrey-based wicketkeeper-batter has been known for his attacking intent, something that we usually see in Bazball. Embracing the approach altogether, the 24-year-old has arguably cemented the spot as the lead keeper. However, it will be interesting to see how he fares when it comes to the bowling quality that India holds. Jasprit Bumrah and co are not the ones that usually get pummelled for runs, and it could be an interesting watch should he opt for the attacking approach against the Indian bowling addition, he also seems to have got a hold of the conditions at home. He averages 49.10 at home as compared to 30 when playing away. His dynamism when coming out to bat could be a game-changer for England, which could bail them out of a dire situation if need CARSEThe bowling all-rounder has been in the mix when it comes to the white-ball scene, but has been putting in impressive performances with the ball. In the five Tests he has played, he has taken a total of 27 wickets. This will also be his first game at home, and it is very much a possibility that he will be a problem, considering that most of his wickets have come in New Zealand, an area with relatively similar conditions to the in Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth), South Africa, Carse carries a tattoo of its coordinates—anchoring his roots in every spell. He's the son of James Alexander Carse, a former Zimbabwean cricketer who played county cricket for Northamptonshire in TONGUEThe 28-year-old pacer has been on the fringes for the most part. But in the few games he has been a part of, he has certainly made an impact. On his Test debut at Lord's against Ireland, Tongue ran riot in the second innings, taking a five-for. He even featured in the Ashes, where at Lord's he was able to finish with five wickets as well, showcasing that he can perform against top teams as is one that looks to make use of the wobbled seam to his advantage, something different compared to the traditional swing bowlers, and this could be a handful, especially during times when variable bounce is prevalent.
