Sanjay Manjrekar News

During the ongoing Test series against England, 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 or spinner in Kuldeep Yadav.

Williamson, a seasoned batter in New Zealand's current ranks, tonked 102 (94), making him the highest run-getter for the Kiwis in the tournament's history and the first to cross the 19,000 international runs milestone for his nation.

Yashasvi Jaiswal left India in a mess at 19/2 while chasing 249, Gill and Iyer dug deep to keep the innings from falling apart. With flawless technique and an unorthodox nature in their shots, Gill and Iyer raised a 94-run partnership to steer India out of a position when they walked on thin ice.

The likes of Rahul and Jaiswal have opened for India in the last three Test matches for the Indian team in Perth, Adelaide, and Brisbane but when Rohit came to open the innings, it created chaos in the batting order.
