The second match of the five-Test series between India and England will be played at Lord’s Ground from 12 August (Thursday). Both teams suffered from player injuries before this important match. Shardul Thakur will miss India’s second Test, but the news that Stuart Broad is out of the entire series has created panic in the English camp. Team India has only won twice against the British at the Lord’s Historic Ground, and the record of Virat Kohli’s army here is not liked. However, in 2014, under the leadership of MS Dhoni, the team was destined to win at Lord’s and that victory story was written by fast bowler Ishant Sharma. In such a situation, in the second Test, Virat may allow this experienced fast bowler to play in the XI.
IND VS ENG: How to recruit a player instead of Shardul Thakur
Ishant had badly broken the back of English batting in the second innings of the Test and had taken 7 wickets in his name. He also won the Man of the Match award for his amazing bowling. In that match against Ishant, batsmen like Sir Alastair Cook and Joe Root were completely kneeling. 7 years later, Ishant has reached England again under the leadership of Virat and is looking to repeat his feat again. After the expulsion of Shardul Thakur and Ishant’s record, captain Kohli definitely wants to add a fast bowler to the playing XI. Ishant has a lot of experience in English conditions and has played 100 Test matches and this bowler is capable of destroying any batting order when it comes to his day.
IND VS ENG: England suffered a major setback before the Lord’s Test, Stuart Broad missing from Test series due to injury
India have only two wins so far against England at Lord’s. After their victory in 1986, Team India had to wait 28 years to defeat the English side on the field. However, this time the situation is different and the first team at Trent Bridge has reached England with a fast pace attack by the Indian team shown by the fast bowlers.
