Reflecting on the hard-fought series, all-rounder Shardul Thakur highlighted how India's refusal to give up, even in the toughest of situations, stood out.
Former cricketer-turned-commentator Sanjay Manjrekar believes India's main goal should be to get 20 wickets, and for that to happen in Jasprit Bumrah's absence, Kuldeep Yadav has to return in the XI for the final Test against England at The Oval, scheduled to begin on Thursday.
Manjrekar was speaking on ESPNCricinfo. During the series, Team India has continued with its 'Bat Deep' approach, allowing for all-rounders like Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur/Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar to play at the same time, instead of opting for one extra pure batter o
