ENG v IND 2021: England have a list of negatives, India has very few - Aakash Chopra

Chopra feels India will be more confident side in the upcoming Lord's Test match.

India who were on the verge of going 1-0 up against England as they just needed 157 runs to win on Day 5 of the first Test, had to settle for a draw as the final day was washed out due to rain at Trent Bridge in Nottingham.

But, as the action moves to London where the two teams will lock horns at the iconic Lord’s from Thursday, former India cricketer Aakash Chopra feels Virat Kohli an Co. will be the more confident side out of the two owing to their all-round performance in the first Test.

“Without any doubt, India. There is no doubt about that. They have very few things to address. Maybe, the form of Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara,” Chopra replied to a fan asking him to pick the more confident team.

“Other than that, maybe runs from Rishabh Pant’s bat, maybe wickets from Jaddu in the second innings. They are not concerns that might ask you to say what is going to happen as you are stuck,” the 43-year-old added.

The cricketer-turned-commentator then talked about the positives and negatives for England and pointed out that the hosts have a list of negatives with a few positives.

“If you see the positives in the opposition team, you will see Joe Root, Ollie Robinson and James Anderson - that's it. After that, they have a list of negatives. They have a lot to think about while India has less,” the former cricketer said in his latest YouTube video.

Thus, it will be interesting to see how both teams go about in the second Test match slated to begin from 12 August at the 'Home of Cricket', Lord’s.
