ENG V IND: India’s Batting Depth To Tackle Spin-heavy England Attack In Second Test (Preview)
Ollie Pope's resilient century and Tom Hartley's debut brilliance with the ball tilted the scales in England's favour. India's costly drops of Pope further accentuated their struggles in the series opener. Despite late defiance, the hosts fell short of a challenging target of 231, prompting introspection from captain Rohit Sharma.
Rohit, while expressing disappointment, urged the team to learn quickly from mistakes and move forward. He acknowledged the team's failure to be brave, and take chances with the bat, and emphasised the importance of learning from these experiences. In contrast, Ben Stokes lauded his team's fantastic performance, considering the victory as England's greatest triumph under his captaincy. Stokes exuded confidence in his team's capabilities for the remaining four Tests and stressed the importance of encouraging team members without fearing failure.
