Virat Kohli and Co. will now be looking to do well in the upcoming five-match Test series against England and win their first Test series in England since the victory in 2007.
While Indian fans will be hoping the team performs well just like they did in Australia to register their second consecutive Test series win down under, former Australian off-spinner Nathan Hauritz talked about how Rishabh Pant will play a vital role against the England side.
“Rishabh Pant played unbelievably in Australia. But when he does that in England, everyone goes 'why attack so early’. So he is one of those players with whom you know what you are going to get and you just have to accept it. But he has also got to understand that sometimes he just has to find a way to last that half an hour,” Nathan Hauritz stated on the YouTube channel 'Behind The Stumps with Anuj'.
Hauritz then went on to weigh in on having Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin in the team.
“Jadeja has got a better batting average than Ashwin. Ashwin is the better bowler. I think the way that Ashwin bowls with the new Dukes ball, he is able to bowl his little seamers as well. Jadeja is more of a lock-in bowler. He will do a job for you very consistently. Personally, I think Ashwin will play and that is only because when the ball and the wicket is new, he gets that more bounce,” Hauritz concluded.
As far as Team India is concerned, the subcontinental giants will be getting ready to take on Joe Root’s England in a five-match Test series slated to begin from 4 August at Trent Bridge in Nottingham.
