LEVEL OF CONSISTENCY WE SAW IN BOTH, BATTING AND BOWLING, DURING THE SECOND TEST, NEEDS TO BE REPEATED: DEEP DASGUPTA

With the India-England series level at 1-1, all eyes now turn to the third Test at Lord’s. JioHotstar expert Deep Dasgupta laid out the three key factors India must focus on to maintain their momentum.
Deep Dasgupta outlined key areas India must focus on to carry forward their momentum after levelling the series at Edgbaston:
“There are three things India must do to win the Lord’s Test. First and foremost — consistency. Yes, they have won the last match and levelled the series, but it is far from over. There are still three Tests to go. The level of consistency we saw in both, batting and bowling, during the second Test – that needs to be repeated.”
Dasgupta underlined the importance of physical recovery for India:
"The second thing is to rest properly, because there isn’t much time between the two Test matches. Recovery is very important — especially for the fast bowlers, and for captain Shubman Gill, who has played two very long innings.”
Dasgupta also pointed out the unique challenge of adapting to the slope at Lord’s, especially for India’s relatively inexperienced squad:
“The third thing that is very important at Lord’s is the slope. This is a slightly inexperienced side, and many players will be playing at Lord’s for the first time. For both, the batters and the bowlers, understanding and adjusting to the slope is going to be a big challenge. Let’s hope they find answers to all the challenges and questions.”
All eyes on Lord’s as the series hangs in balance! 🎯
