IND vs ENG: Pant Hints at Flexible Bowling Strategy Ahead of Crucial Lord’s Test

Ray Sportz Web Desk: India’s vice-captain and star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has indicated that the team is yet to finalise its bowling combination for the third Test against England at Lord’s, leaving the door open for strategic flexibility.
Speaking to reporters ahead of the match, Pant stated that the team management is still assessing pitch conditions and will choose between a 3 pacers + 1 spinner or 3 pacers + 2 spinners setup closer to match time.
“Options are still open, discussions are going on. The final call will be taken tomorrow after assessing the pitch,” Pant said.
India, buoyed by a commanding win in the second Test, are looking to gain a 2–1 advantage in the five-match series. With overcast conditions and a traditionally seamer-friendly Lord’s surface, India may opt to revert to a pace-heavy attack.
Pant emphasized the importance of adaptability, saying, “Conditions can change quickly in England, and we have to stay prepared to respond accordingly.”
The third Test begins July 10, with India aiming to build on their momentum while England seek to bounce back at the ‘Home of Cricket’.
