India vs England final test
Toss – England have won the toss and have elected to bat first
Teams:
India (Playing XI): Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Devdutt Padikkal (In for Rajat Patidar), Ravindra Jadeja, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah
England (Playing XI): Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes (C), Ben Foakes (WK), Tom Hartley, Mark Wood, James Anderson, Shoaib Bashir.
Rohit said, “Honestly, I don’t know what Bazball means… whether it is to go and strike? whether it is to go and defend and wait for the loose ball? because I’ve not seen any wild swinging from anyone. I don’t know exactly what this term means.’’
“But yeah clearly they’ve played better cricket than the last series they were here. And you’ve got to give credit to two of their batters who got big hundreds (Ollie Pope and Ben Duckett).”
“I think there was this guy called Rishabh Pant in our team. Probably Ben Duckett hasn’t seen him bat.”
“…there are a lot of different challenges that came our way right from Test match No. 1 till now. During the series as well, as a captain, this was probably the series where I got to learn a lot about how to utilise the players I have at their best.”
“And when the pressure is put back on you, how to respond to certain situations of the game. I am glad that I was captaining this series, it made me understand where I have lacked as a captain as well and what are the things I need to do differently.
“Well, learnings from this series are big. Obviously, there is one more (match) to go and I am sure I will understand a lot more here as well, but yeah different challenges are thrown at you, that is where the captain is looked up to.”
