Jasprit Bumrah can be rested and Kuldeep Yadav can get a chance in his place. England have not made any changes in their playing eleven.

Ben Stokes praised Rishabh Pant

Meanwhile, England captain Ben Stokes has openly praised the batting of Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant. He said, “Batting like Rishabh Pant is rarely seen in Test cricket. The way he plays with confidence and attacks even in difficult circumstances, he is capable-e-aptitude. I like his style very much.”

Ben Stokes himself is also a supporter of aggressive sports. Under his leadership, England has adopted ‘Bazball’ style in Test cricket in which it is important to score fast and lead the game to the result. In such a situation, Pant’s fearless style was very much liked by the English captain.

Pant scored centuries in both innings in the first Test

Rishabh Pant scored centuries in both innings of the Leeds Test and responded to England’s aggressive game in his style. He has played many memorable innings against England in the last few years. Pant’s confidence and attacking approach against both fast bowlers and spinners has been liked by veterans.

Now it will be interesting to see if Pant’s bat will speak in the same manner in the second Test and will India be able to equal 1-1 in the series.
