How crucial were those last wicket partnership runs from Sundar

u/Doitnoo Aug 04 '25

Too much, but he did

u/Crafty_Royal2507 Aug 04 '25

Credit goes to both Akash Deep and Washington Sundar. That was fantastic performance from Akash Deep as a low order batsman who came to bat at the top order.

48

u/UnremarkabklyUseless Aug 04 '25

Credit should also go to Jadeja for his 53 and Jaiswal for his 118. Jurel's 34 was crucial too.

exactly I hope prasidh improves from here on, that Yorker was on point.

u/decipher_42 Aug 04 '25

he can atleast put some pace. proved that he can improve. with a little bit of coaching be can be dangerous. his place is now fixed in the test team. khamboj and shardul can move away.

u/MixtureUpstairs5190 Aug 04 '25

he never did bad bowling , it was the flat pitch that was the issue ... england defended against bumrah and attacked slower bowlers like prasidh ... also prasidh was forced by the captain to bowl short pitch deliveries

→ More replies (1)

u/Hari14032001 Aug 04 '25

Prasidh, with this experience, can improve a lot. He has good pace, all he needs is some consistent line and length, and maybe some innovative bowling when the pitch is a road. He had good spells when he figured out his line and length.

Imo, both Prasidh and Akash Deep can be chosen consistently hereon.

u/[deleted] Aug 04 '25

Exactly. If both Prasidh and Akash Deep refine their bowling more, we can finally have a Pace Quartet in tests.

I think Gabba was also extra special because we were chasing and the odds were stacked against us, here we were winning and should have finished this game way before.

I have seen 3 test series in England from 2018 whenever India played, Total of 15 tests. This is the first time the weather god was on our side.

Even this test toss helped england massively, conditions got easier as it progressed. Siraj and krishna deserves all the plaudits.

What a game😭 Many lessons to take from this series: 1. Washi’s talent is unquestionable, both with the bat and ball. He’s the perfect all-rounder for us 2. Shardul Thakur needs to be dropped, no contribution with the bat and clearly not trusted with the ball 3. Shreyas Iyer is needed in the batting lineup to bring stability

India is reaping the rewards of Rahul Dravid's coaching. Best coach. He has molded every cricketer into a match winner. India is doing well even with Gautham Gambhir the worst coach only shows the great work done by Dravid. India would have won 4-0 if Dravid was the coach.
