IND vs ENG: "India Have Done Everything That's Possible To Reach Semi-Finals" - Pragyan Ojha

Indian Cricket Team is all set to lock horns against mighty England on 10th November (Thursday). This match is expected to be a riveting one as both teams are evenly matched. The Men in Blue have been quite clinical with their performance and hold a slight edge over England.

England on the other hand would be hoping that the middle order peaks at the perfect time. The likes of Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone haven’t been able to live up to their credentials. The team is too much reliant on Jos Buttler and Alex Hales for giving a great start and in a knock-out match things can turn out to be ugly.

Pragyan Ojha on India

Former Left Arm off-spinner Pragyan Ojha was seen interacting with India Today and was asked about Indian Cricket Team.

“Everything that they (India) are getting is very well deserved because they have done everything that is possible to reach here (semi-finals), they have worked hard,” said Pragyan Ojha

“They were there (in Australia) 18 days prior to the tournament. They prepared themselves well. Every situation needed some extraordinary performance one of them raised their hand, they did it,” he added.

Stern Test for India

The Men in Blue would be well aware of the fact that England would be looking for revenge; as earlier India had defeated England in their backyard by 2-1. India has a lot of match-winners present in the team and the left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh can be the trump card for the team as he has shown good control over his line and length.

Head Coach Rahul Dravid and Skipper Rohit Sharma would be bothered as Dinesh Karthik is not scoring runs. The wicket-keeper batter has looked scratchy and it won’t be a surprise if he is dropped against England as he is not used to bat in the middle overs phase. The management will have to be smart here as one wrong decision can ruin all the hard work of the team.
