Where it should have won, India Hyderabad (Hyderabad) lost the battle of A winning match was handed to England on a platter. Why, because the Indian batsmen disappointed. They could not live up to expectations in the fourth innings. Now that the hopes had died down, it was only natural to miss, or miss, the two biggest pillars of the fourth innings for Team India in the current era, Rishabh Pant and Virat Kohli. Both were not part of the squad against England in the Hyderabad Test. Everyone knows the reason why they don't play.
It has been over a year since Rishabh Pant was sidelined from Team India due to an accident. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli has withdrawn his name from the first two Test matches against England due to personal reasons. But, after what happened in Hyderabad, they are being remembered. This shortcoming is felt more as the Test series against England is no longer a joke after losing the first Test match. The question is, if a situation like the fourth innings arises again, there is no one in the team who can help.
Batsmen lagging behind in the fourth innings
The reason we say this is the statistics of the current Indian batsmen in the fourth innings of a Test match, which exposes them. Let's know these statistics. Rohit Sharma's batting average in the fourth innings of Test cricket is just 30.69. His name has only 1 half century and 1 hundred. Shreyas Iyer, average of 29 in the fourth innings, neither a century nor a half-century. KL Rahul's average is 25. He scored a century with the bat in 2018 but to no avail. Team India faced defeat. Shubman Gill averaged 36.71 and scored only 2 fifties. Ravindra Jadeja's stats are even more frightening, with a batting average of just 16.50. Forget the century or the half-century.
Virat and Pant
These are the senior faces of Team India, who were playing in the Hyderabad Test. Now look at the figures of those who were not there i.e. Rishabh Pant and Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli has scored more than 1000 runs with the help of 2 hundreds in the fourth innings of the Test. At the same time, in the fourth innings, Rishabh Pant's batting average is 60 plus and he also has 1 century to his name.
Now seeing these figures of the fourth innings, why should anyone say, bring back Rishabh Pant and Virat Kohli, it is not a joke anymore. Well, we all know that Pant's return is not possible at the moment and Virat is not coming before the third Test.
