Monty Panesar’s big statement

Former England cricketer Monty Panesar believes that this big win will increase the confidence of the Indian team. He said that India has shown that it is not afraid of England’s ‘Badzball’ style. He praised Shubman Gill’s captaincy, saying, “Shubman Gill has shown excellent leadership and his bat has also gone well.”

First win under Shubman Gill’s captaincy
Shubman Gill batted brilliantly in both innings in this match. In the first innings, he scored 269 runs and scored 161 runs in the second innings. He was also adjudged Player of the Match for this performance. This victory was India’s first Test victory under the captaincy of Shubman Gill and this victory became very memorable.

Akash lamp’s brilliant performance

Fast bowler Akash Deep took a total of 10 wickets in the match. In the first innings, he took 4 wickets and broke the back of English batsmen with 6 wickets in the second innings. This was the most brilliant performance of his Test career so far. Now it is almost certain that he will also play in the third Test starting in Lord’s from 10 July.

Saraj also did wonders

Along with Akash Deep, Mohammad Siraj also bowled brilliantly and took a total of 7 wickets in the match. The pair of both of them showed that Indian bowling has power even without Jaspreet Bumrah.

Akash Deep’s name recorded in history

Akash Deep has become only the second bowler of India to take 10 wickets in the Test match in England. Prior to him, this feat was done by Chetan Sharma in 1986 at Edgbaston, when he performed 10/188.

Next match

Now the third match of the series will be played at Lord’s from July 10, where India will field with this confidence.
