"Got Right Pace For This Surface": India Great Lauds England Spinner Shoaib Bashir
Legendary Indian spinner Anil Kumble lauded England spinner Shoaib Bashir for his spell during the fourth Test against India, saying that the young spinner has got the right pace for the Ranchi surface and credited the team management for selecting him. Bashir snapped four wickets in his spell of 32 overs while conceding 83 runs, taking wickets of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Rajat Patidar and Ravindra Jadeja. Later speaking on JioCinema, Kumble said, "Credit to England management for taking a punt on Bashir. What I understand is that Alastair Cook was batting against Bashir and some 20 balls that Ben Stokes saw, prompted him to get him on tour to India. He's been very impressive. The kind of lines he bowled as an off-spinner, he has kept it outside of the right-hander's eye-line."

Rohit was convinced by the discussion and with seconds to go for the review, he urged the players to 'use their brain'.
