Batting legend Gower tells TOI why England have rediscovered their mojoMUMBAI: If you feel like turning up the volume on your TV sets just a bit when India play England in Edgbaston starting Friday, don't hesitate. David Gower is in town and his ready wit will be heard as he calls the action from the TV Studios of rainy Mumbai. The England legend's dry humour is evident during a zoom interaction when he talks about the weather back home. "I was speaking to a colleague in the UK and telling him I am in Mumbai and it's raining all day and then I looked up the forecast at Edgbaston and it's not so dry there too for the first couple of days. It's not like Mumbai monsoons, but it will be damp," he reveals with a smile, almost putting cold water on India's plans, if any, of playing with both R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja for the one-off Test. "I have a feeling, they will play only Jadeja," he quickly says. Gower's smile acquires added lustre when he speaks about England's Test resurgence. "The combination of McCullum and Stokes has clearly changed something," he says and marvels at McCullum's man-management skills.

Madhya Pradesh defeated Mumbai in the final of Ranji Trophy 2021-22 on Sunday to claim their maiden title. The Chandrakant Pandit-coached side had one hand on the coveted trophy ever since it gained a 162-run lead against Mumbai in the first innings. Later, MP also completed the formality quite easily as they bundled out Mumbai for 269 runs in the second innings to eventually chase down the 108-run target with six wickets in hand on the last day of the final.
Madhya Pradesh when his team beat Mumbai by six wickets in the final at the Chinnaswamy Stadium must have felt the closest to his heart. Twenty-three years ago, it was at this venue when Pandit, playing his last First-Class match, suffered a heartbreak, failing to achieve his 'MP' dream by a whisker. Chasing 247 on the last day of the 1998-99 Ranji Trophy final against Karnataka, MP, led by the former India stumper, collapsed to 150 from 108-3, with Vijay Bhardwaj taking six for 24.
