Rohit Sharma on Wednesday said only "time will tell" how the crushing loss at Edgbaston impacts the side in the long run. India let slip a golden opportunity to record their first series win in England since 2007 as the hosts, in an incredible turnaround, recorded their highest-ever run chase in Test cricket. "It's obviously disappointing to not come out as victors. The Test series was for India to win. That said, time will tell whether that loss will have any impact in the T20I and ODI series against England," Rohit said on the eve of the first T20I here.
Rohit Sharma had missed the rescheduled fifth Test against England after testing positive for COVID-19, but he has now recovered and hence would be leading the side in the first T20I of the three-match series on Thursday in Southampton. For the first game, the likes of Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, and Jasprit Bumrah would not be available, but the senior pros would be back from the second game onwards.
From being in an advantageous position in the fifth rescheduled Test against England in Edgbaston, the Indian cricket team could not hold their nerve and lost the game by seven wickets. England rode on unbeaten centuries from Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow to register their highest successful chase in Tests of 378 runs. After the loss, experts have opined that the team composition could have been different. Former Indian cricket team player and ex-national selector Jatin Paranjape said that Ravichandran Ashwin could have been picked in the XI.
New England white-ball captain Jos Buttler insists there is “not much needs changing” with the current set-up as he looks to carry on the attacking mentality that started under predecessor Eoin Morgan.
India and England face-off in the first T20I of the three-match series at the Ageas Bowl Stadium in Southampton. India will be boosted by the return of skipper Rohit Sharma, who had missed the fifth Test after testing positive for Covid last month. England, on the other hand, will see the start of a new era in white-ball cricket with Jos Buttler replacing recently-retired Eoin Morgan at the helm. Buttler has been in dazzling form with the bat, and will now look to succeed as England's white-ball captain.
