The Indian team lost the first game of the five-match Test series against England. Now the second Test will take place in Visakhapatnam. Consider Team India’s victory in the second game almost certain. England’s star batsman Joe Root has not been on the field for a long time after suffering a finger injury. Root’s finger on his right hand was injured when he tried to slip it.
Root is one of England’s most reliable batsmen. Especially in Indian conditions, Root will be the key batsman for England as he has excellent spin skills. It has been almost two hours since Root’s injury and he has not yet taken to the field for action. In such a situation, England could face big trouble in the second innings if they don’t get to bat as England will have a huge target to chase.
Root is important for England in both batting and bowling. Root excels in bowling for England on pitches that support spin. In such a situation, it can be a double blow for England if Root does not return to the field. In the first Test played in Hyderabad, Root made an important contribution to the team’s victory through brilliant bowling. He took a total of five wickets in the match.
Let us tell you that at the end of the second session of the third day, India took a lead of 370 runs. During this time, while batting, India have put 227/6 runs on the board in their second innings.
In the match, India won the toss and elected to bat first. In their first innings, Team India had 396 runs to their name. For the team, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal had put 209 runs on the board with the help of 19 fours and 7 sixes.
