India Have To Throw A Counterpunch Immediately To Bounce Back In The Series: Shastri
ICC World Test Championship: Former coach Ravi Shastri has shared message for Team India ahead of the crucial second Test against England, saying the Shubman Gill-led side have to throw the counterpunch almost immediately to bounce back in the five-match series.
India fell to a five-wicket loss to England in the ICC World Test Championship series opener at Headingley despite dominating much of the contest and now need to regroup quickly ahead of the must-win encounter at Edgbaston that could well determine who claims the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
"The most important thing for India is to throw the counter punch almost immediately. When you lose a Test match like this where you have dominated most of it and then you lose it on the last day with a big chase and full marks to England for keeping their composure and doing that, it will need a lot of character to come to the fore and to bounce back in the series," Shastri told The ICC Review.
