According to Cheteshwar Pujara, India has to get its act together as quickly as possible to prepare for the next test match against England. The previously postponed fifth match will now take place at Edgbaston beginning on Friday, July 1. He said that every single player has to have an awareness of what their particular advantages are.
Pujara also said that India had a talented group of players as well as skilled fast bowlers and that the team needs to follow the same strategy that they did in the four matches that took place during the summer of 2021. While highlighting the significance of the match, Pujara said that a victory here would also be remembered as one of the most impressive triumphs for India.
Simply said, we need to gather ourselves: Cheteshwar Pujara
“After a very long period has passed. Now all that’s left to do is regroup. Simply said, we need to have a better understanding of our advantages. The fact that we arrived so quickly is a plus for us. Consequently, there is an abundance of time for all of the players to prepare,” Pujara remarked in an interview with the BCCI as India was playing a practice match against Leicester.
“I believe that having a decent collection of players is the most crucial thing that we have. We have some very good quick bowlers. After the way the boys competed in the last four matches held at this venue, I have no doubt that they are excited to do the same thing once again. If we are successful in both this specific test and the series overall while playing on English soil, I believe that it will go down as one of India’s most memorable triumphs. We are all quite excited for this next test match,” he went on to say.
As a result of Mohammed Shami’s bowling him out without scoring a run in the practice match between India and Leicestershire, the batsman from Gujarat had a performance that would be difficult to forget. In the second innings, he would hope to recover his rhythm and get back into the game. In the meantime, regular captain Rohit Sharma has been found to be infected with COVID-19. Hence, it is still unknown who will serve as the team’s acting captain for this match.
