India looks for SKY…
The second Test (Feb 17-21) wouldn’t be that one sided game as India looks for SKY (Suryakumar Yadav) to click this time. Having defeated Australia in the first Test match by an innings and 132 runs, India looks just a strong side. With two seam bowling options and three allrounders as spin-bowlers, India again can go for the kill. This is a view for the kill.
Meanwhile, BCCI’s Chetan Sharma, the former cricketer and current selector is exposed. India players played so far under Sharma’s guidance by taking non-permissible drugs (energy boosters) to score massive runs. The India players also played by passing fitness tests even with injuries by taking non-permissible drugs. This issue humiliated BCCI and so, Jay Shah also have to resign from his lucrative post along with Chetan Sharma.
However, coming back to this different game, the second Test match at Arun Jaitley stadium could also put Australia in deep trouble. If Australia loses again as the result would be just a bit inevitable and a draw would be unlikely, India would wrap up the Test series in the end. Test 3 would be played from March 1 and Test 4 would be played from March 9.
It’s time for SKY (Suryakumar Yadav) wash his hands too. He would be a dangerous batter if he could try to spend some time by reading the pitch.
The second Test likely to be a bit high scoring game. A high scoring game could also put pressure on Australia if SKY bats for just a bit longtime. Australia was thrashed, and handed up with a humiliating defeat by India bowlers in which allrounder Ravindra Jadeja stole the show. Jadeja scored a match winning 70 and picked some crucial 7 wickets. He would again pose a threat for Australia in the second Test match.
India’s concern is not at all the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, who also scored a crucial century in the first Test match to begin with. If India to lookout for a whitewash, some repair work just a bit needs to be taken up.
One could see there’s always enough batting left when SKY comes to bat at number 6. No worries here and if India looks for SKY to put more pressure on Australia, there’s nothing wrong. And in fact, it would be interesting to see SKY keeps a bit of patience. Ravindra Jadeja, the wicketkeeper Srikar Bharat (likely to be replaced) and Axar Patel to follow.
