ENG V IND: India’s Batting Depth To Tackle Spin-heavy England Attack In Second Test (Preview)

If Sarfaraz Khan: India find itself at a crossroads after a humbling 28-run defeat to England in Hyderabad, setting the stage for a crucial second Test in Visakhapatnam starting on February 2. Ben Stokes' England squad, displaying an aggressive Test cricket approach, secured a remarkable victory by overturning a first-innings deficit of 190 runs, marking India's fourth loss in 47 home Tests over 12 years.

Ollie Pope's resilient century and Tom Hartley's debut brilliance with the ball tilted the scales in England's favour. India's costly drops of Pope further accentuated their struggles in the series opener. Despite late defiance, the hosts fell short of a challenging target of 231, prompting introspection from captain Rohit Sharma.

Rohit, while expressing disappointment, urged the team to learn quickly from mistakes and move forward. He acknowledged the team's failure to be brave, and take chances with the bat, and emphasised the importance of learning from these experiences. In contrast, Ben Stokes lauded his team's fantastic performance, considering the victory as England's greatest triumph under his captaincy. Stokes exuded confidence in his team's capabilities for the remaining four Tests and stressed the importance of encouraging team members without fearing failure.
