Kuldeep could be the X-factor for India: Ex-ENG cricketer Monty Panesar
Former England spinner Monty Panesar has suggested that India should consider replacing Shardul Thakur with Kuldeep Yadav for the second Test against England in Birmingham, where spin is expected to play a more significant role. India suffered a defeat in the opening Test at Headingley as England successfully chased 371, powered by Ben Duckett's 149. 'Kuldeep could be the X-factor for India' Panesar believes Edgbaston's pitch offers enough spin for India to benefit from playing both Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav, with the latter bringing a much-needed attacking edge. 'Kuldeep could be the X-factor India need. The surface in Birmingham does tend to help spinners, and Kuldeep has the ability to trouble batters even without much turn,' Panesar told PTI. Kuldeep's record backs up Panesar's point, the left-arm wrist-spinner has 56 wickets in 13 Tests at an average of 22.16. Comparatively, Thakur has claimed 33 wickets from 12 Tests with a higher average and strike rate. Thakur's limited contribution with both bat and ball at Leeds, including 2 wickets for 89 runs in 16 overs, raises questions about his current value in English conditions. Panesar argued that if Thakur isn't going to bowl extended spells, his inclusion makes little sense. While some may debate replacing Jadeja with Kuldeep, Panesar believes the better option would be to field both spinners, Jadeja as the containing bowler and Kuldeep as the strike option. 'Jadeja bowls quickly and economically, but Kuldeep brings a real threat. However, Kuldeep can't really be used to contain. That's why India might opt for two spinners, with Jadeja playing the holding role and Kuldeep going on the attack,' said Panesar. Panesar, who played a crucial role in England's 2012 Test series victory in India, concluded that Kuldeep's current form and ability to challenge batters on flatter pitches should earn him a spot in the XI for the second Test.

Jasprit Bumrah 'problem' sparks Shastri's '2-0' warning for Edgbaston: 'You lost to New Zealand, Australia and now...'
India head coach Gautam Gambhir remains firm on the pre-decided plan to play Jasprit Bumrah in only three Tests on the ongoing England tour, despite India trailing 0-1 in the five-match series. Bumrah was the lone bright spot in an otherwise lacklustre bowling performance at Headingley. With the second Test at Edgbaston looming, that plan could mean Bumrah sits out — a possibility that has Ravi Shastri sounding alarm bells. The former head coach warned that resting India's premier pacer now could result in another defeat. Will Jasprit Bumrah play in Edgbaston? Bumrah's struggle with back issues, which more recently saw him miss the Champions Trophy after the injury surfaced during the Sydney Test earlier this year in January, led chief selector Ajit Agarkar to confirm last month that the 31-year-old would play just three matches in England. India batting legend Sunil Gavaskar made a special plea to the fast bowler to play all five matches after he picked up a five-wicket haul in the first innings in Leeds, while the rest of the quicks struggled on the dry Headingley track. But the request was rejected by Gambhir after the five-wicket loss on Tuesday, confirming that Bumrah will play only two more matches. Although India have yet to decide which of those two games it will be, Shastri, in conversation with Sky Cricket, reckoned it might be in Birmingham because the management would want to get him in for the Lord's tie. However, the former India all-rounder admitted that resting Bumrah in the second Test would certainly lead to another defeat, meaning the series could all be over for them in Edgbaston. 'Bumrah said he'll play three Test matches. Now, which of the three he'll play, that's, you know, another question to be asked. I think if he takes a break, it'll be the next one, because he'll definitely want to play at Lord's, right? And there's a break, and then you go into Lord's, then there's a break, and then there's a choice between Manchester and the same. It could be 2-0 down. So that is the problem. I think he has got to play,' he said. 'Knockout punch has to come in the very next Test' Shastri further said that with India 0-1 down, they need to bounceback in the second game, if they aim to have a chance in the series. Having lost to New Zealand at home and then the tour of Australia, Gambhir himself would be desperate to get things back on track in England, especailly with how close they were in the Leeds match. 'It will be a tough pill to swallow because I was just telling him, back in the commentary box, that we lost 3-0 against New Zealand, lost a series in Australia. Now, this is a tough series. You had your opportunity to go one up here, you know, with England having problems with their bowling attack, the injuries that they have. And you've blown it. And now it's catch-up time. You're going to go and show some real character. And the knockout punch has to come in the very next Test match. If that doesn't happen, then you're really looking down. So whenever there's a counter punch, you're down. That has to happen quite immediately. So they have to realise that,' he said.

IND vs ENG: 'It is going to sting' — Rishabh Pant reacts after heartbreaking loss at Headingley
Rishabh Pant of India (Photo by) Even as England pulled off a remarkable five-wicket win in the opening Test at Headingley, India's Rishabh Pant walked away with a record that will go down in history. In a bittersweet moment, Pant became the first Indian wicketkeeper to score centuries in both innings of a Test match, an extraordinary feat that stood out in an otherwise forgettable outing for India. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Pant posted on X after the loss: "It is going to sting us for a while but we BELIEVE in bouncing back stronger." The message reflected both the pain and the resolve within the Indian camp after letting a golden opportunity slip away. Pant was India's heartbeat with the bat throughout the match. After scoring a fluent 134 in the first innings, the southpaw returned on Day 4 under immense pressure and counterattacked his way to 118 in the second, bringing up his second century of the match in just 130 balls. With this, he entered an elite club of Indian batters—Gavaskar, Dravid, Kohli, among others who've notched tons in both innings of a Test. More impressively, Pant became only the second wicketkeeper in Test historyafter Zimbabwe's Andy Flower in 2001—to achieve this feat. India Outplayed at Headingley | England Go 1-0 Up in the Series | IND vs ENG 1st Test His attacking style was once again on full display, particularly against young spinner Shoaib Bashir, whom Pant swept, reverse-swept, and charged at with unflinching intent. He also surpassed MS Dhoni to become the highest run-scoring Indian wicketkeeper in Tests on English soil. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Quiz: Who's that IPL player? India had posted 471 and 364, and set England a daunting target of 371. But Ben Duckett 's explosive 149, Root's calm 53*, and a late flourish from Jamie Smith proved too much. Despite the heartbreak, Pant's heroics gave India a fighting chance and reminded the world of his rising stature in the Test arena.
