"Keeps Increasing Our Heartbeats With Certain Shots": Rahul Dravid On Rishabh Pant

While Rishabh Pant has not quite set the stage ablaze with his performances for India in limited-overs formats yet, there is no question that he can turn a match on its head in Test cricket. Even as India went down to England in the rescheduled fifth Test at Edgbaston, Rishabh Pant's whirlwind 146 in India's first innings had set the platform for the visitors to hold the advantage for long parts of the match. In the end, though, England chased down 378 - their highest chase in Tests - with relative ease as they continued with their own new aggressive brand of cricket.

India vs England: The Report Card Of The Edgbaston Test

The Jasprit Bumrah-led Indian cricket team promised much, but ultimately delivered too little in the rescheduled fifth Test against England at Edgbaston. The visitors had two centurions and their fast bowlers looked a more disciplined bunch early on, only to flounder when it mattered the most. As the Test progressed, India's grip loosened and ultimately ended in England registering their highest-ever successful chase in Tests. Chasing 378 in the fourth innings, few would have given England a chance. But some lacklustre bowling by India led to England doing the improbable.

"Very Important" For India To Have A Stable Captain: Deep Dasgupta

Former Indian wicketkeeper-batter Deep Dasgupta feels that the return of skipper Rohit Sharma for upcoming T20Is against England, will be really beneficial for Team India. After facing a crushing defeat in the fifth Test against England at Edgbaston, the Men in Blue will be now facing them once again for a three-match T20I and ODI series. Rohit was ruled out from the fifth Test after he tested positive for COVID-19. In his place, pacer Jasprit Bumrah had led Team India.
