England have not done in this Bazball era, it is playing for the draw, so what will they do? – Dinesh Karthik
Speaking on Sky Sports, former India wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik said that he is keen to see how England will reach his innings. He said:
“I am confident that this is longer than runs. Ideally they will reach 600, of course, but I think they want to give England to England for the last one hour.
“If they can take England to a platform in this game, where they can think of everyone, Gill will expect his bowlers to use as pressure. In this Bazball era, England has not used one thing to play for the draw, what will they do?”
Meanwhile, former India head coach Ravi Shastri said that the English team would be in a dilemma about how they bat in their first innings. He said:
“When England comes to bat, they will be out of their comfort zone – they have to play, it will have a dilemma with it. India can try for some initial wickets.
“They can be male in attacking positions, are in-out fields, and if they can strike before the stump with two wickets tonight … then the ball is also starting to hold a hold for spinners.”
