Suyog: “India should bat long to score 600 . Don’t bother about bowlers rest. Try to enforce follow-on and win the match. They have 3 regular and 1 part time spinner in Jaiswal. Reddy can be a workhorse for Gill to utilize Bumrah and Siraj efficiently.” Let’s see how it goes. Himanshu will be back after the 40-minute break. In the meantime, you can read Karthik’s analysis on Sai Sudharsan’s back foot play, or Ashish’s interview with the ever-so-candid Shashank Singh or watch Aakash Chopra’s analysis from yesterday… or something else. You’ll figure it out, we trust you.
Vinamr: “Have all 12 sessions in the series till now been won by India? Has there been any series where all sessions been won by a single team?” We don’t maintain those stats yet, but might soon. After all, control percentages are a thing despite being subjective. And yeah, all sessions India have won unless I’m missing something.
MSP: “Eknath Nitish was out not Jurel…please correct it” Done, thanks
Niranjan: “Once could say that Prince is becoming a King in case of runouts”
11:32am, Lunch, Day 2 Just look at India’s scorecard… Gee, just the luxury. Must be what billionaires feel like after looking at their investments. Jaiswal got run out early. That was the only blip in India’s session. Reddy was out but he got a handy 40-odd and looked comfortable. Bowling was good, fielding not as much. Warrican has three. Greaves troubled Gill once or twice but no issues otherwise. Suffice to say, West Indies might not bowl again.
Pierre to Shubman Gill, 1 run, Shortish ball on middle is tucked off the back foot through midwicket, who chooses to run after it rather than dive to stop it. That means the mix-up, caused by both batters ball-watching, doesn’t cost anything
