India vs England 2021: Inzamam-ul-Haq Feels Day 2 Could Be Very Crucial To India's Fate Against England

Former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq has reckoned that India might seal the game if they score 300-350 in the first innings against England on the second day. India managed to bundle out England for just 183 in the first innings in the Trent Bridge Test and it was a brilliant bowling performance from India.

This is India’s first test after the loss to New Zealand in the World Test Championship finals and there were lots of talks about the visitor not being ready for the challenge in English conditions. India ended the day on 21 for no loss with all 10 wickets remaining and those are good signs for India to take an early lead in the five-match Test series.

Inzamam-Ul-Haq Reckons The WTC Final To Have Impacted India’s Performance

Inzamam-ul-Haq felt that If India can get around a score of 300, it will be very difficult for England to stage a comeback from there. He reckoned that he could feel the pain of losing in the WTC Final in the aggressive approach from Indian bowling and added that it was the missing part in the WTC Final.

“Day 2 is very important for India. If they score 300-350, the fate of the test match will be sealed in favour of India. The players will have to take responsibility, and they have big players. I could see their pain of losing the WTC Final through their aggression. They could not perform in that match and the aggression missing in that match, was visible here,” Inzamam-ul-Haq reckoned.

Inzamam Finds The Body Language Of India More Aggressive

Inzamam-ul-Haq has revealed that there is a change in the approach of the Indian body language after the tour of Australia. He highlighted the fact that India went in with four quicks and one spinner out of their comfort zone was a big positive and added that they have clearly shown their attacking mindset to England.

“The body language of India has changed ever since the tour of Australia. They play cricket with aggression, this has happened in the last 1-2 years. The way they announced their team by plating four fast bowlers and an all-rounder was a positive sign. India have made it clear to the England dressing room that they will be playing attacking cricket,” he added.
