Bazball: England made a record even after losing the match, left West Indies and New Zealand behind
India vs England 2nd Test Match : The England team has lost the second test match against India. With this, the series has once again come down to 1.1. The first test of the series was played in Hyderabad, which England won by 28 runs, while Team India counterattacked and won the second match played in Visakhapatnam by 106 runs. Meanwhile, even though the England team has lost this match, it has definitely made a record. Therefore he should be praised. But the question is whether this fight happened because of baseball or there is some other reason.
England scored 292 runs in the fourth innings against the target of 399.
The Indian team had set a target of 399 runs in the last i.e. fourth innings of the Visakhapatnam Test. Getting such a big score in the fourth innings is not an easy task. That too when the match is being played in India and the pitch is helpful for spin. But still, the formula on which England has been playing for some time now, it seemed that if all the batsmen of England batted in the same style then the match could be won here also, but it could not happen. The England team could not achieve the target of 399 given by India, but the team still scored 292 runs. This is the second highest score made by a foreign team in the fourth innings in India. Now only Sri Lanka is ahead of them. England has left West Indies and New Zealand behind.
Sri Lanka made the biggest score in the fourth innings in India
The highest score in the fourth innings in Test cricket in India was made by Sri Lanka in the year 2017 in Delhi, when the team scored 299 runs. This match ended in a draw, because Sri Lanka had lost only 5 wickets. Now England has scored 292 runs in Visakhapatnam after losing all its wickets. That means second highest score. After this, the score of 276 runs for five wickets made by West Indies in Delhi in the year 1987 has now moved to third place. In the test match played in Ahmedabad in 2003, the New Zealand team had scored 272 runs for six wickets. This match also ended in a draw. West Indies had scored 270 runs for 7 wickets in Chennai in the year 1967. That means the team may have lost, but England did not accept defeat till the end and fought and lost the match.
The third match of the series will be played in Rajkot from 15th February.
The third match of the 5 Test match series between India and England will be played in Rajkot from 15 February. That means there is a gap of about 10 days after the second and third matches. During this time the team will make its preparations. The special thing is that the team was announced by BCCI for only 2 test matches, which are now over. Before the third Test, Ajit Agarkar and the rest of the team will have to tell what will be India’s squad for the remaining matches. Will some changes be made? It is believed that the squad will arrive within one to two days, so that the players can start their preparations from now on.
