IND vs ENG: Three matches are left in the ongoing five-match Test series between India and England. Virat Kohli will not be included in the team in these matches also. BCCI has updated that Virat Kohli will not be able to be a part of the team due to personal reasons. By the way, former England fast bowler Stuart Broad has reacted about Virat Kohli.
Former England fast bowler Stuart Broad believes that the absence of Virat Kohli in the Test series is not good for the Indian team but in his absence, England has a golden opportunity to defeat India.
English bowler Stuart Broad has expressed his disappointment over the absence of Virat Kohli, saying, “Virat Kohli makes any competition great with his passion, aggression and excellent play. The spectators are eager to watch his game but family comes before cricket.”
Stuart Broad praised Yashasvi Jaiswal
Stuart Broad further said that “India won the last Test, in his absence this is a big opportunity for the young players to prove themselves. We saw in the last test how Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a double century. Some other player will shine for India in the next three matches and may be able to replace Virat when he retires from the game.”
It is a shame that Virat is not playing in IND vs ENG test SERIES
Stuart Broad believes that “This series between India and England is largely like a victory over the opposition team. In which England has a golden opportunity in the remaining three matches. In Virat’s absence, a lot will depend on the fitness of other players. The rivalry between Virat and Jimmy Anderson has been quite famous. It is shameful for cricket and this series that Virat is not playing.
Stuart Broad expressed happiness over the performance of Bumrah and Jimmy
Praising Jasprit Bumrah and Jimmy, Stuart Broad said, “We saw in the second test that the role of fast bowlers has been important. Jasprit Bumrah won the match for India and Jimmy bowled brilliantly. Everyone thought the pitch would spin but the fast bowlers had more success, perhaps because of the morning moisture.
Stuart Broad said a big thing about the fast bowling pair
Stuart Broad described him and Anderson as the last great Test fast bowling pair, saying, “I don’t think our pair was the last, but we are ahead in terms of wickets because of the long careers we both had.” But it would be difficult to go beyond that. But I believe that cricket will definitely get such a great pair again in the next few years.
Jasprit Bumrah is a very mature bowler in Test cricket. I have grown up watching fast bowling pairs. There could be Courtney Walsh and Kathleen Ambrose, there could be Waqar Younis and Wasim Akram, there could be Darren Graff and Andy Caddick. One such pair will be released soon.”
The third test match between India and England will be played in Rajkot on 15 February. Both the teams have settled the score by winning one match each. Meanwhile, in the third match, both the teams will take the field to give a tough competition to each other. This match is going to be very exciting.
