Wasim Jaffer Takes A Sly Dig On England Team While Praising Team India Players After 1st Test

Former Indian Test opener Wasim Jaffer singled out multiple positives for Team India from the Nottingham Test while taking a dig at England by stating that the home side got saved by rain.

With 157 more runs needed on the final day and nine wickets in the bank, India looked favorites going into the 5th day but the weather gods had other ideas as persistent rain ensured that not a single ball was bowled on Sunday.

Nevertheless, it was a Test match that India dominated for a major portion.

Rohit Sharma once again failed to convert his start into a big knock but he looked extremely assured at the crease and he and Rahul’s opening pair looked the best among both sides.

He also lauded Shardul Thakur and Mohammed Siraj for claiming crucial wickets during the Test match besides heaping praise on Jasprit Bumrah for his brilliant spell in both innings.

“Rain saved England but lots of positives for India this test” wrote Wasim Jaffer.
