IND vs ENG: Manjrekar Urges Inclusion of Kuldeep, Dropping Shardul for Second Test
Ray Sportz Web Desk: Former India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar has called for changes in India’s bowling line-up following their defeat in the first Test against England at Headingley. Manjrekar recommended bringing in left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav in place of pace all-rounder Shardul Thakur to bolster the attack.
While Jasprit Bumrah impressed with a five-wicket haul in the first innings, the rest of the pace unit — Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, and Thakur — failed to make an impact. England successfully chased a daunting target of 371 in the fourth innings, winning by five wickets and exposing the shortcomings in India’s bowling arsenal.
