Ind vs. Eng: 'Similarly on a flat field ...', what did Magne say about the Indian batsmen, said on Pant's injury

Former Indian cricketer and commentator Sanjay Manjrekar praised the Indian batting in Manchester. He believes that the young batsmen of India on the first day of the fourth Test cricket match against England performed brilliantly in unfavorable conditions and proved that they would not score just against flat stands or a poor invasion. At the end of the first day’s game, India scored 264 runs that lost four wickets in their first innings. Openers Yashasvi Jaiswal, 58, and Kl Rahul, 46, gave India a strong start. Both shared a 94 -Run partnership for the first wicket. Subsequently, Sai Sudarshan (61) and Rishabh Pant (retired sore for 37) shared a 72 -Run partnership, which on the first day managed to cross the 250 -Run mark. Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur are unbeaten by scoring 19-19 runs. “The first day of the Manchester test was an appropriate answer to those who believe that this young Indian batting order only achieved on flat stands or before a poor attack. Such situations are common in England and their bowling attack also looked stronger than ever. “On the first day, India’s 264 runs for four wickets in these circumstances were still a strong batting performance. Fortunately, Rishabh pant remained some time before he retired. Hopefully he will bat again on the second day.” Sudarshan, who played his second Test, returned to play Xi and his first half century after he was out of the second and third match of the series. “He looked nervous in the beginning, which is natural after being out of the team after the first test. It would have affected his confidence, but as the game progressed, his confidence also increased and he beat brilliantly,” Manjrekar said. Share this story -tags
