The third match of the five -Test series between India and England starts on Thursday 10 July at Lord’s ground. After a stunning victory in the Edgbaston Test match, the Indian team is in full swing, while the hosts will take the field with the intention of retaliation. In this match, Team India fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah is returning. In such a situation, one of the famous Krishna, Akash Deep and Mohammad Siraj may have to sit outside. It is more hopeful that the famous Krishna should not be included in the playing XI. Now the biggest question in front of Team Management is who will start bowling with Jaspreet Bumrah? Because Akash Deep and Mohammad Siraj bowled well in the second Test match.
Who will start with the new ball?
Who will start the innings with a new ball with fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah at Lord’s ground? This is a big question for captain Shubman Gill. Mohammad Siraj and Akash Deep bowled brilliantly in Edgbaston Test match. Together, both of them sent 17 England batsmen to the pavilion.
Akash Deep gave the initial shock to England in the first innings, while Mohammad Siraj started taking wickets in the second innings, but after this Akash Deep was completely dominated. In the second Test match, Akash Deep took 10 wickets and Mohammad Siraj took 7 wickets. In such a situation, it is expected that Akash Deep can handle the new ball with Jaspreet Bumrah, because he is an expert in taking wickets in the beginning.
Akash Deep showed strength in Edgbaston Test
Akash Deep was included in the playing XI for not playing in Bumrah’s second Test match. He shocked everyone by bowling brilliantly in this Test match. After taking 4 important wickets in the first innings, he forced England to kneel by dismissing Ben Docket, Oli Pope, Joe Root and Harry Brook in the second innings.
Akash Deep took more wickets than the new ball in Edgbaston Test match. In the first innings, he sent the Ben Deck and Oli Pope to the pavilion early, then the second innings made the docket and the root clean bold and proved his utility with the new ball. However, Mohammad Siraj also gave the Indian team a big lead by taking 6 wickets in the first innings of the second Test match.
Siraj makes a great comeback
After performing disappointing in the first Test match, Mohammad Siraj bowled brilliantly in Bumrah’s absence and took 6 wickets in England’s first innings. Although he was able to take only one wicket in the second innings, but kept pressure from the other end. Because of this, Akash got success.
Siraj has a great performance in the Lord’s Test of 2021 and he is ready to challenge the opposition batsmen once again with that confidence. Despite this, it is expected that Akash Deep can handle the new ball with Bumrah, while Siraj will get a chance to bowl after him.
