At the same time, he was unsure of Patidar being given a place in the playing eleven for the Hyderabad Test starting on Thursday. Patidar is coming to Hyderabad after making 151 off 158 balls in the first four-day match against England Lions at Ahmedabad, with the knock coming in an under-pressure situation in the first innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He also scored 111 in a two-day practice match against the same opposition. In first-class cricket, Patidar, 30, has amassed 4000 runs in 93 innings at an average of 45.97, with 12 centuries and 22 half-centuries, as a batter at number three and four for Madhya Pradesh, carving a reputation for making big runs on tough pitches coupled with solid temperament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Patidar had missed much of cricketing action in 2023 due to an Achilles injury needing surgery, but he eventually recovered to make his ODI debut against South Africa at Paarl last month. Now, he\u2019s in the Test team and in Kumble\u2019s opinion, might have to wait for his chance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHe\u2019s done well over the years and after missing the majority of cricket last year due to an injury, it is wonderful to see a youngster coming back. Even in that England Lions\u2019 (four-day) game, when the team was in trouble, he came in and scored a brilliant hundred. He\u2019s been rewarded by the selectors as a replacement (for Kohli). But I doubt whether he will play tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cMy sense would be that Shreyas (Iyer) now the team management has clearly stated that (KL) Rahul will not be keeping wickets. So I am assuming that it\u2019ll be Shreyas at number four, then number five would be KL Rahul, (at) number six (KS) Bharat and then the all-rounders. It would be the approach that I sense India would go with (in the first Test),\u201d said Kumble, an expert with JioCinema and Sports18, in a virtual media interaction.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Under captain Ben Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum, England have changed the syntax of their playing Test cricket, as seen from their scoring rate of 4.8 in the last 20 months. Kumble is keen to see how India will counter the attacking approach from England.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe need to see if it's going to be Bazball or Buzzball, as in the Hindi word (bus). We will have to wait and see, but I think the approach certainly needs to be countered. If the pitch is spin-friendly and will encounter surfaces like this, then they need to have that mindset coming into a game.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t be looking to survive, but at the same time, you need a lot of balance in Indian conditions. You just can\u2019t come in with an intent to hit boundaries; you also need a good defence. So it\u2019s something England will need to watch out for.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt will be challenging and interesting to see what England batters bring. We know that they look to dominate the bowling irrespective of the conditions and put pressure on the bowlers. It will also be interesting to see how Indian bowlers respond to that kind of approach.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
England last won a Test series in India in 2012\/13 season, by 2-1. After that, India won 4-0 and 3-1 over England in the 2016 and 2021 series respectively at home. Kumble, who picked 619 Test wickets, feels the Anthony de Mello Trophy for the 2024 series could be in India\u2019s favour by 4-1.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019m not a guy with a crystal ball, but I can certainly see India winning the series. I am thinking all five (Test matches) would provide results because of the approach that these two teams have towards Test cricket. I certainly believe unless and until weather intervenes, I feel all five Test matches would have results. I would give one to England and four to India.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/01\/patidar-has-done-well-over-the-years-doubt-whether-he-will-play-tomorrow-says-anil-kumble.jpg", "alt_img": "Patidar has done well over the years; doubt whether he will play tomorrow, says Anil Kumble", "alt_title": "Rajat Patidar,", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Patidar Has Done Well Over The Years; Doubt Whether He Will Play Tomorrow, Says Anil Kumble On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Patidar Has Done Well Over The Years; Doubt Whether He Will Play Tomorrow, Says Anil Kumble, With Rajat Patidar: With Rajat Patidar being called up to India\u2019s Test squad for the England series as a replacement.", "seo_keywords": "Anil Kumble, New Delhi, With Rajat Patidar, Virat Kohli, Hyderabad Test, England Lions, Madhya Pradesh, South Africa, KL Rahul, Ben Stokes, Brendon McCullum, Mello Trophy", "tag": "", "tagging": "Anil Kumble, New Delhi, With Rajat Patidar, Virat Kohli, Hyderabad Test, England Lions, Madhya Pradesh, South Africa, KL Rahul, Ben Stokes, Brendon McCullum, Mello Trophy", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "patidar-has-done-well-over-the-years-doubt-whether-he-will-play-tomorrow-says-anil-kumble", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "909", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2024-01-24 21:28:03", "updated": "2024-01-24 21:28:03", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Anil Kumble, New Delhi, With Rajat Patidar, Virat Kohli, Hyderabad Test, England Lions, Madhya Pradesh, South Africa, KL Rahul, Ben Stokes, Brendon McCullum, Mello Trophy", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-01-24 21:28:03", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/patidar-has-done-well-over-the-years-doubt-whether-he-will-play-tomorrow-says-anil-kumble-136759" }
