2nd Test: India Should Bat For 10-12 Overs, Get 500-530 And Then Put England In, Says Karthik
Tendulkar Trophy Test: Former wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik has suggested that India should bat for 10 to 12 overs and aim to get the lead between 500 and 530 runs before asking England to chase in the ongoing second Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Edgbaston.
At tea, India’s lead stood at 484 runs, with Shubman Gill making a masterly century - his third in four innings as captain, while Rishabh Pant smashed 65. "Bat for 10-12 overs, get as much as possible - 500, 530, whatever - and then put England in and try to get a couple of wickets before stumps," said Karthik on Sky Sports’ broadcast during tea interval.
Mark Butcher, the former England cricketer, opined India might bat for a little longer to ensure the hosts’ are well and truly batted out of the game. "India have lost a bit of a window but it is a legacy, a tribute, to the fear Stokes and England put into teams when setting fourth-innings targets."
