IND vs ENG: Only Pujara And Pant Scoring Runs In The Top-Six, Bowling In The 4th Innings Was Absolutely Listless – Virender Sehwag

Former India opener Virender Sehwag criticised India National Cricket Team after their fifth and final rescheduled Test match against England National Cricket Team at the Edgbaston, Birmingham.

India lost the Edgbaston Test against England by 7 wickets after the hosts chased down 378 runs in the 4th innings, which was the highest successful run-chase by England in the history of Test cricket and the highest successful run-chase at the Edgbaston Birmingham.

Meanwhile, Sehwag asserted that only Rishabh Pant and Cheteshwar Pujara scored runs for India among the top-six batters and the bowlers were listless in the 4th innings of the match. He also said that India need to address the issues in the team as soon as possible.

“India have quite a few issues to address. Only Pujara and Pant in the top-six are scoring runs. Jadeja batting brilliantly but we need top-order batters to be in form. Bowling in the fourth innings was absolutely listless,” Sehwag posted.

Congratulations England on your highest successful run chase.
