ENG vs IND Dinesh Karthik: I doubt that Jasprit Bumrah would like to play in the Edgbaston Test match

Dinesh Karthik

Dinesh Karthik: At present, England is leading 1-0 in the five-match series.

Before the start of the second match of the ongoing Test series between England and India, former Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik has made a big statement. Karthik has said that he does not think Bumrah would like to play in the second Test match to be held at Edgbaston.

It is worth noting that the first match of the ongoing Test series between the two teams was played in Leeds, where the Indian team had to face defeat at the hands of the host team by five wickets. On the other hand, Bumrah bowled a total of 33.4 overs in this match, out of which he took five big wickets in England’s first innings.

In the second innings, he bowled 19 overs, but the English batsmen were being very cautious against Bumrah, due to which he did not get any success. So, now before the second Test match, Karthik has made a big statement about Bumrah playing.

Dinesh Karthik made a big statement

Let us tell you that before the start of the second Test match between England and India, Dinesh Karthik was quoted by Cricbuzz as saying – First of all, we have to see whether Bumrah is playing or not. I doubt that Bumrah would like to play at Edgbaston.

I think he will wait. There is a flat pitch there and it will give his body more time, he has bowled too many overs in this game (Leeds Test). The more rest he gets, the better it will be for him. I think he would love to play at Lord’s, but it is not about what he wants, but also what the team thinks he has to do.

Well, it will be worth seeing whether Bumrah is able to play in the second Test match against England from July 2 or not? Do you think Bumrah will play in the second Test match or not? You can tell us your opinion by commenting.

Former Indian cricketer criticized young Yashasvi Jaiswal for dropping catches 2025

Young player Yashasvi Jaiswal dropped four catches in the first Test

India lost to England by five wickets in the Headingley Test. Young player Yashasvi Jaiswal dropped four catches in the match. If these catches were caught, the result could have been different. At the same time, former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar has expressed concern over the young player dropping four catches during the first Test.

Let us tell you that Jaiswal dropped three catches in the first innings, including a crucial catch at third slip, which could have sent Harry Brook to the pavilion. In the second innings, he missed another chance despite attempting to catch the catch to dismiss Ben Duckett.

This has been happening for the last five years – Sunil Gavaskar

Gavaskar said after the match, players should not be allowed to wear webbing beyond that limit. Otherwise, you can wear gloves. I think, like when a batsman comes out to bat, they check the size of the bat, or when boxers come out to field they check the gloves, the umpires should do the same for this. They should say, ‘Hello! Sorry, you can’t put it there.’

He said, this has been happening for the last five years. Every team has at least one or two fielders who have done this.

Yashasvi Jaiswal: This was the left-handed opener’s first match

Anyway, this was the left-handed opener’s first match on England soil. He scored his first Test century on this occasion. Jaiswal scored 101 runs off 157 balls, displaying discipline and control. During his innings, Yashasvi troubled the England bowlers a lot. His performance played an important role in helping India reach a strong score on the first day of the opening Test.

ENG vs IND 2025: Gautam Gambhir clashed with a journalist over a question after the Headingley Test defeat

Gautam Gambhir: Despite the defeat, the most special thing for India was that the team scored five centuries

Gautam Gambhir: After the shocking defeat against England in the first Test of the series at Headingley, India head coach Gautam Gambhir addressed the media. During the post-match press conference, journalists asked questions, to which he expressed his reaction.

Gautam Gambhir: Despite the defeat, the most special thing for the Indian team was that the team scored five centuries. Openers Yashasvi Jaiswal (101) and captain Shubman Gill (147) scored centuries in the first innings, while KL Rahul (137) scored a century in the second innings. Apart from this, Rishabh Pant (134 and 117) scored centuries in both the innings, which was a big achievement.

In the press conference, a journalist asked Gambhir about Rishabh Pant’s innings in the Headingley match, ‘Some positive things. How was it to see Rishabh Pant’s innings and of course being the vice-captain, how did he handle that responsibility, that role?

Gautam Gambhir : Head coach gave a sharp response

Gambhir did not like the way the question was asked and he reacted sharply and said, there are three more centuries as well. Those are also big positives. I would have liked it if you had talked about Yashasvi (Jaiswal)’s century, Shubman (Gill)’s debut century as captain, KL (Rahul)’s century and Rishabh’s two centuries. So honestly, five centuries in a Test match is a great start. And hopefully your question could have been better.

The head coach credited pacer Jasprit Bumrah for bowling brilliantly in the first innings, where he broke the back of the English batting line-up by taking five wickets. He said, but still, there are some positives as well. Jasprit Bumrah took five wickets (in the first innings). But at the end of the day, if you don’t get the result, we go out there to get the result.

Yes, the individual performances were good. If you want big runs from our top six or seven batsmen, which we scored in this Test match, we got five wickets from Bumrah. But at the end of the day, you go out there to win the Test match. And unfortunately, that result didn’t come. So we accept it and move on.

ENG vs IND: Team India lost despite scoring five centuries in Leeds Test match, made this shameful record

ENG vs IND

ENG vs IND: India had to face defeat by five wickets in the Leeds Test match.

ENG vs IND: The first match of the five-match Test series between England and India was played at Headingley ground in Leeds. Let us tell you that in this match, India had to face defeat by five wickets against England. So, after this defeat, Team India has registered a shameful record in its name.

ENG vs IND: Also, let us tell you that a total of five centuries were scored by the Indian cricket team in both the innings in the match, but still the Indian cricket team had to face defeat. Let us give you information about this shameful record of Team India:

ENG vs IND: Indian team made this shameful record in its name

ENG vs IND: Let us tell you that in the match, Yashasvi Jaiswal (101), Shubman Gill (147) and Rishabh Pant (134) played centuries in the first innings from the Indian team. So in the second innings, KL Rahul scored 137 and Rishabh Pant once again played a brilliant innings of 118 runs from India.

In the Leeds Test match, five players from the Indian team scored centuries, but still Team India had to face defeat. With this, Team India has now become the first team in Test matches to face defeat even after scoring five centuries in a Test match. After losing the Leeds Test match, Team India has had to make this shameful record in its name.

On the other hand, after Team India’s defeat in the match, captain Shubman Gill said- I think it was a great Test match. We had chances, we dropped catches and our lower order did not contribute enough, but proud of the team and overall it was a good effort. Yesterday we were thinking that we would score around 430 and declare the innings.

Unfortunately our last 6 wickets could only score 20-25 runs, which is never a good sign. Even today after their brilliant opening partnership, I felt that we still had a chance, but in this match we could not do as per our wish.

ICC reprimanded Rishabh Pant for throwing the ball and arguing with the umpire

Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant showed anger in front of the umpire regarding the change of ball.

India’s Test vice-captain and wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant got into trouble for disagreeing with the umpire during the Leeds Test. Although he escaped a one-match ban, the International Cricket Council (ICC) officially reprimanded him and added a demerit point to his disciplinary record. This point could cause trouble for him in the future. The incident happened when Pant threw the ball on the ground in anger after the umpire rejected his appeal to change the ball.

Violation of ICC Code of Conduct

The ICC said in its media release that Pant was found guilty of a Level 1 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct on the third day (June 22, 2025) of the first Test against England at Headingley. This violation occurred under Article 2.8 of the Code of Conduct, which relates to expressing disagreement with the umpire’s decision in an international match. The incident occurred at the end of the 61st over of England’s first innings, when the umpires checked the ball with a ball gauge and refused to change it. Pant expressed his displeasure by throwing the ball on the ground in response.

Rishabh Pant admitted the offense, no formal hearing took place

Pant admitted his behavior and also accepted the punishment proposed by match referee Richie Richardson. Due to this, there was no need for a formal hearing. Pant was accused of this by on-field umpires Paul Reiffel and Chris Gaffney, third umpire Sharafuddaula Ibne Shahid and fourth umpire Mike Burns. According to ICC rules, the punishment for a Level 1 violation includes a minimum official reprimand, a maximum fine of 50% of the match fee and one or two demerit points.

Threat of demerit point

This was the first violation in 24 months for Pant, for which he received a demerit point. If a player accumulates four demerit points within two years, he can be suspended for one Test or two ODIs/T20 matches. Pant will now have to be more careful about his behavior.

Team India made big records in Leeds Test match, in this case everyone else was left behind

Team India

Team India: Indian batsmen together scored a total of 5 centuries in Leeds Test match.

Team India: In the first match of the 5 Test series against England, the Indian team did such a feat in Leeds, which has never happened before. For the first time, 5 centuries were scored by India in a Test match. Out of these, 2 centuries came from the bat of Rishabh Pant alone. Pant destroyed the English bowlers with his explosive batting. Let’s take a look at the records made in the Leeds Test.

Team India: Unique record of 5 centuries from India

Team India: In the Leeds Test, India scored 3 centuries in the first innings and 2 centuries in the second innings. This is the first time in cricket history that the Indian team scored 5 centuries in a Test match. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant scored centuries in the first innings, while KL Rahul and Pant scored centuries in the second innings. Pant scoring centuries in both innings is a proof of his form and aggression.

This is the sixth occasion when a team has scored 5 centuries in a Test match. This is the second occasion on foreign soil (away Test). Earlier in 1955, Australia had scored 5 centuries in the Jamaica Test, which was the first time it happened on foreign soil. Now India has become the second team to achieve this feat abroad. This record shows the depth and talent of Indian batting.

KL Rahul’s brilliant performance

India’s opener KL Rahul showed his class by scoring a brilliant century in the second innings. This was his third century in England as an opener. Before him, Vijay Merchant, Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi Shastri and Rahul Dravid have scored 2-2 centuries as openers in England. Rahul’s century is a proof of his consistency and adaptation to foreign conditions.

Include Kuldeep Yadav in the playing XI for the second Test match, big statement by former English spinner

Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav did not get a chance in the first Test match played at Leeds.

Former England spinner Monty Panesar has advised to include India’s star spinner Kuldeep Yadav in the playing XI for the second Test of the ongoing five-Test series against England. After India’s five-wicket defeat at Headingley, Panesar believes that Kuldeep’s unique bowling can prove useful on the spin-friendly pitch of Edgbaston. Citing Kuldeep’s performance for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025 (15 wickets in 13 innings, economy rate of 7.07), Panesar said that this wrist spinner can trouble batsmen even on low-turning pitches.

Kuldeep Yadav’s X-factor and bowling specialty

Panesar said in a conversation with The Hindu, “In Edgbaston, India can try an X-factor spinner like Kuldeep Yadav along with Ravindra Jadeja. The Edgbaston pitch turns a little. Kuldeep has something special, he does not need a turning track. In IPL 2025, he showed that even without much turn, he can create problems for the batsmen by bowling difficult line-lengths.” Panesar believes that Kuldeep’s slow pace and variety make him an aggressive option, which can prove to be a game-changer for India in this series.

Preference for Kuldeep over Jadeja or Shardul

Panesar suggested that Kuldeep could be included in the team in place of Shardul Thakur or Ravindra Jadeja. He said, “If Shardul Thakur bowls only 6-8 overs instead of 15 overs a day, then there is no point in playing him. Jadeja’s bowling is very fast, while Kuldeep bowls slow and with X-factor. Kuldeep should be brought in as the main attacking option.” Panesar believes that Kuldeep’s unique style and ability to take advantage of favorable conditions on the pitch can give India strength against England.

Monty Panesar’s trust in Kuldeep Yadav indicates a strategic change for India. After the defeat at Headingley, Kuldeep’s presence in the Edgbaston Test can give India new strength. The Indian team led by Gautam Gambhir and Shubman Gill can consider this advice, so that it can perform better in the challenging conditions of England. Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for this change and Kuldeep’s performance.

প্রতিবেদন অনুসারে, বিয়ের স্থানটি বারাণসী থেকে স্থানান্তরিত হতে পারে। তবে, এটি এখনও নিশ্চিত নয়। রিঙ্কু সিংয়ের ক্রিকেট ক্যালেন্ডারের কথা মাথায় রেখেই বিয়ে স্থগিত করার সিদ্ধান্ত নেওয়া হয়েছে। উভয় পরিবারই জাঁকজমকপূর্ণভাবে বিয়ে উদযাপন করতে চায়।

Let him be the way he is, KL Rahul said about Rishabh Pant

KL Rahul

KL Rahul: Pant also became the only wicketkeeper to score a century in both innings in the history of Test cricket along with Andy Flower.

Rishabh Pant also scored a century in the second innings of the Test match at Headingley, Leeds on Monday, 23 June. With this, he became the first Indian wicketkeeper to score a century in both innings. He also became the only wicketkeeper to score a century in both innings in the history of Test cricket along with Andy Flower.

Pant played a brilliant innings of 118 runs off 140 balls on Monday, while he scored 134 runs off 178 balls in the first innings. He also got a lifeline in the second innings. Pant played an important partnership of 195 runs with KL Rahul. Rahul also scored a century and scored 137 runs off 247 balls.

It is difficult for us to understand his mindset – KL Rahul

Now KL Rahul said that people should get used to the wicketkeeper-batsman’s unconventional batting style, instead of inciting him to play in a conventional manner. Rahul insisted that there is a lot of planning behind Pant’s unconventional shots. During his innings, the Indian vice-captain was seen hitting himself on the helmet after failing to hit a ramp shot. On the stump mic, he could be heard telling himself to play straight down.

According to India Today

According to India Today, Rahul said, ‘It is difficult for us to understand his mindset, but you let Rishabh Pant remain Rishabh Pant.’ He said, ‘There is clearly a method behind his madness because he has an average of 45 in Test cricket. The aggressive shots he plays have to be thought about a lot. You just try to keep them quiet as much as possible between balls.’

Rahul and Pant’s brilliant partnership put India in a strong position at 287/3. However, the Indian lower middle order batsmen could not do much and the visitors were bowled out for 364. England’s openers bowled out a good six overs before stumps on the fourth day. They need 350 runs to win on the final day, while India need all 10 wickets.
