'Pick Your Best Team': Hussain Has Some Advice For Root Ahead Of India Series

By IANS News January 26, 2021 • 16:12 PM View: 2945

Former England skipper Nasser Hussain has urged the Joe Root-led side to pick his best team and not to take the Indian team lightly in the upcoming four-match Test series.

India would be entering the Test series riding high on confidence following their remarkable win in the Border-Gavaskar series against Australia. The victory was special in the sense as India were bowled out for a mere 36 -- their lowest Test total -- in the first Test and then lost many star players due to injury. Skipper Virat Kohli had also returned home after the culmination of the first Test to welcome his baby. However, the Ajinkya Rahane-led side showed tremendous grit and resilience in the remaining three matches and registered a memorable series win.
