Team India had to face defeat against England at Lord's. Due to this defeat, the Indian team has fallen behind 1-2 in the five-match series. There are many reactions from former cricketers to India's defeat. The Indian team was all out for 170 runs while chasing a target of 193 runs. Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Reddy, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammad Siraj showed great courage on the field, but could not save the team from defeat. While some former cricketers are praising the courage of these cricketers, many former cricketers are giving mixed reactions about Jadeja. Apart from this, captain Shubman Gill and Jasprit Bumrah have also come under the target. Former cricketers are praising Jadeja's batting, but at the same time, they are also saying that he should have batted faster. Reactions have come from Ravichandran Ashwin, Irfan Pathan, and Mohammad Kaif. At the same time, former cricketer Madan Lal has asked Virat Kohli to come back from retirement. Ashwin stated Jadeja.
Ashwin said that during the Lord's Test, he spoke to a big cricketer and both agreed that Jadeja should score runs quickly. Ashwin said on his YouTube channel, 'I kept messaging a big cricketer throughout the match. I will not name him, but we were both discussing the match. We both felt that Jadeja should have probably taken a little more risk, but not too much. Hats off to the way he played! Jaddu showed a whole generation of Jane Bold that you can play with patience and shine in the Test game.' Ashwin said that both Jadeja and Siraj should have targeted Shoaib Bashir instead of continuously defending balls. He said, 'Jadeja could have chosen a bowler along with Siraj, and he should have attacked Bashir, because Siraj can play big shots to a spinner on the leg side due to the slope.' Before Ashwin, legendary spinner Anil Kumble had also questioned Jadeja's approach.
Pathan stated workload management.
At the same time, former Indian pacer Irfan Pathan targeted Bumrah's workload management and gave the example of England captain Ben Stokes. Apart from playing innings of 44 runs and 33 runs in the Lord's Test, Stokes bowled 20 overs in the first innings and took two wickets. In the second innings, he bowled 24 overs and took three wickets. For this, Stokes was also given the Player of the Match award. Pathan seemed very impressed with Stokes. Pathan said, 'Stokes bowled a marathon spell of 9.2 overs. He is a 4D player. He bowls, bats, does excellent fielding... everything. Stokes ran out Pant brilliantly. Despite this, there is no talk of workload management in England. In India, we talk about it a lot.'
Pathan said, 'Jasprit Bumrah bowled five overs in the second innings and then waited for Joe Root to come to bat. This happened when you needed to control the game. When you were not playing, you had a workload to manage. You do not manage the workload during the match. We could have improved there. You have to win at all costs during the match. I said the same thing during commentary as well. Archer was playing a Test match after four years, but he did not stop. He bowled a spell of six overs in the morning session before the second spell. Ben Stokes did not think about the workload at all. He kept doing one spell after another. If he can bowl nine overs, then we were left behind.' Pathan also talked about extras. He said, 'India also gave many extra runs. If India had given even half of this in extras, we could have done better.'
Kaif targeted Shubman Gill.
Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif targeted Shubman Gill's attitude. He posted on Instagram and said, 'Shubman Gill's fight with Jack Crowley affected England. After Edgbaston, questions were raised about England's batting, bowling, and captaincy, but that incident infuriated Stokes. He bowled an inspirational spell. It is wise to stick to the attitude that works for you. Gill will learn the hard way like this.' Apart from Kaif, former England captain Michael Vaughan also targeted Gill and called his technique wrong. At the same time, Sanjay Manjrekar also targeted Gill.
Madan Lal requested Kohli to return.
At the same time, former Indian cricketer Madan Lal has appealed to Virat Kohli to return from retirement. Kohli announced his retirement from the longest format of the game just before the Test series. Madan Lal said that there is nothing wrong with Kohli changing his decision and requested the veteran cricketer to share his experience and passion for the game with the youth. Speaking to CricketPredicta, Madan Lal said, 'Virat Kohli's passion for Indian cricket was unmatched. I wish he would return to Test cricket. There is nothing wrong with returning. If not in this series, he should return in the next series. From my point of view, he should change his decision to retire. Because he can easily play for a year or two. It is about passing on your experience to the youth. It is not too late yet. Please come back, Kohli.'
