Delhi: Actually, Team India did not lose a Test in the headingley, the way the losing was about to break the morale. Both innings scored 350+ runs, 4 batsmen scored 5 centuries and a bowler also took 5 wickets, even then lost the Test. On that, there is no practice match despite being a day between the headbaston test. Therefore, what will be the atmosphere in Team India’s camp before Edgbaston Test, it can be easily guessed. In such a situation, what will happen if one had to face another defeat in Edgbaston Test?
Questions are being raised on the structure of the team. Which are the right 11 players who play Tests? Seeing that Gautam Gambhir was speaking in the press conference, someone will say that he was really provoking. With every defeat in the Test, his own record is also deteriorating. If the level of fielding is a barometer of mood of a team, then India is out of tolerance from every perspective.
Gautam Gambhir tried his best to control his mood despite his team being 0–1 before the Edgbaston Test, but his real face came out in response to Rishabh Pant’s mention of two 100 in the headingley. In that question, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and KL Rahul’s 100 were not said to be less. Well, if the team making 5 individual 100, the Test lost, then it will get angry. Therefore, the discussion of another defeat intimidates. Test on it in the Edgbaston where India has not won any Test yet.
In July last year, Gautam Gautam became serious coach in place of Dravid. Since then India has lost 7 out of its 11 Tests. Out of the 3 Tests that won, two wins were found on their pitches against Bangladesh. In November, he lost 3–0 to New Zealand and the record of Aparajit in India was also broken for 12 years. In such a situation, the defeat in the Edgbaston Test will bring the team to such a backfoot that every way to come forward will be closed. It is not Don Bradman’s team to win the series even after he is behind 0-2 in the series. The interesting thing is that they are writing all this for the team whose first Test innings was 430-3 in the first Test innings.
The biggest reason for this dilemma in foreign media is counting the weak captaincy of Gill. The question of 25 years old, the first time Test captain and the fitness of Jaspreet Bumrah on him and tuning with coach Gambhir. Now it has also been leaked that when England were 30 runs away from the win in the headingley and there were two overs left for the second new ball, then Gill gave the ball to Bumrah, but Bumrah refused to bowl. In such a situation, the weakest link to bowling was done by Shardul Thakur. The test was over in Bumrah’s eyes.
On that, the coach openly made Bumrah, who complained about the pain of the bench, the scheme of feeding only 3 out of 5 Tests. As the news is coming, if Bumrah does not play in Edgbaston Test, the chances of going 2–0 in England’s series will increase further. Then on the basis of which practice, Bumrah will return to the Lord’s Test team? So when the fit Bumrah in the headingley was in the team, India should have won the Test.
By opening the card of not playing in all 5 Tests about Bumrah’s fitness, the selector and team management of India did a huge scam and gave England ‘benefits’. If Bumrah was made captain, he might not have openly talked about not playing Tests in the series. This also increased the pressure on the rest of the bowlers. The way Gill gave the team the team commanded by Rahul and Rishabh Pant during the 371 -run chase of England’s 371 -run manner.
The way the team management and BCCI have ignored the need for practice match in this tour will be heavy. The lone warm-up match was played against his A-Team in Bekenham, away from eyesight. Despite being the first and second Test and the day between the third and fourth Tests, he did not even arrange to play a two -day match. India left catch which caused a loss of more than 200 runs. On the no-ball, Bumrah lost the opportunity to dismiss Brook at 0, he lost 99 runs. Both of them drowned the team of 41-7 and 31-6 in the innings. Such shortcomings are overcome by practice match itself.
In such a situation, what will happen if Edgbaston Test is also lost?
