India v England

Kohlis biggest challenge will be how he performs when the team struggles. Atm, we have not faced a challenging situation. We can already see how smith himself is struggling when the whole team in jeopardy. Even the greatest players like ponting, amla, cook and do many more have found it hard when their team fails.

Basically Kohlis challenge will be when India tour in SA, eng, and aus as this time he will not only have to deal with difficult batting conditions, but also potentially difficult days as a captain.

But so far Kohli the captain has impressed as a batsman. So many Indian players have dropped themselves in the batting order when they have been made the captain.

💯 % agree Viru!

Stokes & Bairstow showed that it is decent batting wicket but they won't see or avoid altogether.. I already said way before series started that we don't make rank turners anymore. Look at New-Zealand series! Now if they produce pacy, green wicket then it's awesome for cricket

Kohli is smart not to request rank turners against England anyways as it can backfire like last time they toured. Plus we don't play spin that well anymore barring few batsmen.

I was also correct regarding Mishy.. He is not test level player. He may be just fine for Odis or T20 but not for this format. He is a liability in field too like old Gamby.

Glad we gave chance to Jayant Yadav. Time to move on from old, stale, useless players. I don't care for age as long as they are performing though

Congrats India!!🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

England win the toss.. Jaddu dropped Cookie!

Lefty n Kav.. why don't you discuss cricket here? Why bother to discuss cricket with folks who just talk nasty drivel all the time?

You may bump this thread like Kashy does! Time to enjoy only cricket folks..

I don't really mind what thread is used. Looking good so far. Englands batsmen played some very loose shots because this pitch seems quite good to bat on. Mohali has always been one of the better wickets we've produced.

Seamers doing well on this pitch. A bit surprised that Cookie brought spinners so soon on both ends earlier..

Ginger able to get lazy Murli damn..

Mr. Patel playing Andy quite well!

Touch wood..
