India vs England 2021: The Indian cricket team's strong resistance in the second innings on Day 3 of the third Test against England after the abysmal first innings show has earned it respect from some of the country's top cricketers such as VV Laxman, Munaf Patel, and Pragyan Ojha, among others.

While there were brickbats and criticism all around after the first innings capitulation, which saw the tourists bundled out for 78, the second innings fightback has brought India a lot of praise.

India went to stumps on the third day at 215/2 with Cheteshwar Pujara unbeaten on 91 and Virat Kohli batting on 45 at Headingley. Though they are still 139 runs behind, their hopes of making England bat again look realistic now.

Opener Rohit Sharma scored 61 and added 82 for the second wicket with Pujara before he was out LBW. Skipper Kohli then added an unbeaten 99 for the third wicket with the Saurashtra batter as India started to script a comeback.

Former star India batsman VVS Laxman tweeted:
