Questions on bcci selection:
The first Test is being played between India and England on the Leeds ground. In this match, Indian batsmen have impressed everyone with their performance. Under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, the Indian team has scored history by scoring 5 centuries in a single Test.
Although the batsmen did wonders, some decisions of the team management came under question. In this Test, Sai Sudarshan and Karun Nair were included in the playing XI, but both the players disappointed with their performance.
Sai Sudarshan flopped
Sai Sudarshan got a chance to debut a Test debut on the basis of a brilliant performance in IPL 2025, but he could not take advantage of it. In the first innings, he was dismissed on Duck without opening an account, while despite a good start in the second innings, he returned to the pavilion after scoring only 30 runs.
Karun Nair’s return faded
Karun Nair, who returned to the Indian Test team after nearly eight years, also remained silent. Batting at number six in the first innings, he was also dismissed on Duck. In the second innings, he got a chance to play in a strong position, but he was dismissed by just 20 runs. His shot selection in both innings was disappointing.
India scored 364 runs in second innings
However, despite the flop performance of Sai Sudarshan and Karun Nair, India batted brilliantly in the second innings. India scored 364 runs with the help of KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant’s centuries. This means India gave England a target of 371 runs to win the first Test Test match.
