India vs England : We saw such a shower of runs in the IPL that every match seemed like the final of the T20 World Cup, but now the time has come to switch from wide ball to red ball, and this time, Test cricket is not just a series but the beginning of a new trophy, the Anderson Tendulkar Trophy. Yes, for the first time, the India vs England Test series has adopted a new look, featuring bowling legend James Anderson and batting icon Sachin Tendulkar, and the next WTC cycle will commence with this series.
This series of five Test matches is set to begin on June 20, but this time, neither Rohit nor Kohli will be there. Now Rohit bhai’s, I understand but why was Virat Kohli in such a hurry, brother, he was fielding in IPL right now and was hitting runs like a cheetah as if he had no break but now what can we do, the English people must have smiled a bit that two Indian legends are not coming. Still, their smile will not last for long because Team India has one more ace up its sleeve, and that is Jasprit Bumrah, the game-changing player.
He is the only one. The IPL concluded on Tuesday, and the Indian team arrived in England on Friday. In the first practice session on Sunday, brother Bumrah set the ball on fire, not only moving the ball but also shaking the confidence of the England fans. Bumrah is available only for three Tests, but as long as he is there, he remains Bumrah. Consider this: in his first England Test, Bumrah unleashed his full potential and gave momentum to India’s ailing Test series.
In the 2021 trend pitch, on one and five, the Lord’s Test, the brother had batted very well and had a legendary partnership of 89 runs with Mohammad Shami on the last wicket. Talking about his recent form, Bumrah bhai was not available for Mumbai Indians in the first five matches, Mumbai lost all five games, but as soon as he came back, boom boom, Mumbai won six games back to back and reached the play-offs by breaking the hearts of Delhiites, so England will have to be careful of Bumrah bhai’s wrath or else there will be bench strokes.
