India vs England - "Shows How Much My Teammates...": Shardul Thakur Opens Up On His Many Nicknames

India is all set to take on England in the rescheduled 5th Test match at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham and all eyes are on what playing XI will the Indian team management go ahead with. One man who has been an integral part of the Indian Test side over the past year or so, due to his ability with both bat and ball, is all-rounder Shardul Thakur. Shardul has picked up key wickets with his dibbly-dobbly medium pacers and contributed handsomely with the bat late down the order.

India vs England rescheduled 5th Test will be played from July 1 to July 5, 2022 at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham. India lead the series 2-1 and a draw is enough for the team to win its fourth series on English soil. India's preparation for the all important Test has been hampered by captain Rohit Sharma's positive COVID-19 test during the tour game against Leicestershire. Designated vice-captain KL Rahul is also out with injury and reports suggest that paceman Jasprit Bumrah could lead India in the match if Rohit doesn't recover in time. Team India head coach Rahul Dravid on Wednesday said that Rohit's condition is being monitored and that he was "still not out" of the match. All eyes will be on former captain Virat Kohli, who showed great form in the Leicestershire match and will be looking to end his barren run of centuries in international cricket. Cheteshwar Pujara has been brought back to the Test squad after a runs-filled County stint. Here is all the telecast and streaming information on the India vs England 5th Tst.

Pakistan players to get separate Test and limited overs contracts

Previously, top players were offered one contract and could be called on to play any version of the game, but specialisation has made this out of fashion for many cricketing nations.

EXCLUSIVE: India vs England - India will clinch series by winning fifth Test, not drawing it, says Mohammed Siraj

As India stood on the cusp of a win in the fourth and final Test in Brisbane, Siraj found himself standing behind the boundary rope. And when Rishabh Pant smashed Josh Hazlewood for the match-winning boundary in the Gabba Test to win the series he ran towards the two Indian batsmen at the crease - Pant and Navdeep Saini - to hug them and then took out one stump as a souvenir. He then waved his hands at the crowd. His eyes were moist, a big smile on his face. He looked up to the sky and thanked God and paid a tribute to his father. For the 28-year-old Siraj, who is gearing up for the rescheduled fifth Test against England, starting Friday at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground, the memories of that historic Australian triumph are still fresh. The Indian pacer now wants to lift another trophy, in England, this time. "India are already leading the Test series and I am sure we will win this series. We want to win this series by winning the fifth Test, not by drawing it. The memories of winning in Australia are still fresh and I want my team to repeat those heroics in England too," Siraj told TimesofIndia.com in an exclusive interview in May this year.
