Gautam Gambhir backs pacers despite Leeds disaster: Building a battery for future
India head coach Gautam Gambhir asked the fans and critics not to judge the young Indian bowling attack after every Test match. India crashed and burned in the Leeds Test match, failing to defend 371 runs in the final innings. Apart from Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj to a certain extent, the rest of the Indian pacers were rendered ineffective by the Bazballing English shielded the Indian pace attack after their disastrous show in Leeds, stating that the group of Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, and Arshdeep Singh were inexperienced and needed time to realise their full potential in the red-ball format."This pace attack comprises one bowler who has played four Tests (Prasidh Krishna), there is another who has played two Tests (Harshit Rana), and one who hasn't played a Test (Arshdeep Singh)," Gambhir told the press in the post-match press conference. "In ODIs, it doesn't matter, but on tours of England and Australia, these are tough places. It is like throwing them in the sea. If we start judging bowlers after every Test, how do we develop them?" he Building Long-Term Pace BatteryThe head coach said that the fast bowlers India have carried in their line-up were exceptionally talented and would serve the Indian team for a long time if they were backed comments come in the backdrop of a poor Test match from Prasidh Krishna, who leaked runs at over 6 per over, handing the advantage to the English side. India have Akash Deep, Harshit Rana, and Arshdeep Singh on the bench, who are expected to be called up in the next matches."If we leave out Bumrah and Siraj, there is not much experience in the line-up, but we need to back them as they have got talent. They have got quality and that is why they are in this dressing room. It's about building a pace battery that will serve India for a long time. It's not about just this tour." Courtesy: Reuters Shardul Thakur Bowling Only 16 OversThe use of Shardul Thakur with the ball raised eyebrows during the Test match, with critics commenting on the lack of trust shown in the veteran all-rounder. Shardul, who has had successful tours in England and Australia before, bowled only 16 overs in the Test said that it was the captain's instinct to give the all-rounder fewer overs as Ravindra Jadeja was containing runs well from one a captain goes with his instincts, and Ravindra Jadeja gave us control in the first innings. That was important, and we could rotate our three pacers at the other end," Gambhir said."We know what Shardul's quality is, and that is why he is playing for India and is in the dressing room. Just because he is the fourth seamer does not necessarily mean that he has to be brought ahead of a spinner. A captain went by his instinct and depending on the surface we were playing," he added.- EndsTune InMust Watch

Fielding Woes Continue for India, Raising Questions Ahead of #INDvsENG2Test
India's fielding performance raised serious concerns as Yashasvi Jaiswal dropped four key chances, all of which England capitalized on. Indian fielders were below par. Even Ravindra Jadeja, considered one of the safest fielders , failed to hold on to a catch. These repeated lapses raise serious concerns about the overall fielding standards. Dropping Jaiswal purely for fielding would be harsh, but he must work on the fielding aspect. Fielding coach T. Dilip is also under scrutiny for the team's poor showing. Despite scoring 471, India only managed a slim lead of 6 runs— a worrying sign and a big question mark on India's overall fielding standards.

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. Now with four Tests to go, India will look to bounce back, and if Pant's words and form are any indication, they'll do it with fire. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story.
