Former Captain Nasser Hussain believes for quite some time now that England is very in white ball format from where they were under former captain Eain Morgan. The three lions arrived in India on a white ball tour in search of some positive aspects and a winning impulse before heading to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. After landing in the subcontinent, England’s hopes were quickly destroyed by a young implacable Indian team. England surpassed in all aspects, since the T20I series ended with a defeat of the 4-1 series for the tour party.
The defeat did not leave the shadow of England and continued following the tour party in the first ODI in Nagpur. The spinners of India Ravindra Jadaja, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav continued to expose the Achilles heel of England, forcing them to bend in a 247.
In response, Shubman Gill (87), Shreyas Iyer (59) and Axar Patel (52) generously contributed to directing the line of completion comfortably with more than 11 overs to spare.
“Similar paths have been followed, right? Most games, even the T20, have been periods in which they have been in the game and then a clumsy error like that. [around Phil Salt’s run-out in the first ODI]. Then the turn turns on. Ravindra Jadaja throws himself wonderfully. The T20 that lost and lost many of those games for Spin too, “said Hussain in the Podcast Sky Sports.
After witnessing the recent fall of England in the Cricket of the White Ball, Nasser believes that England has moved away from the domain position they had under Morgan and Trevor Bayliss. The combination of Captain-Coach led England to the glory of the World Cup in 2019.
“Then, India, obviously Ball White Ball in that final in the World Cup in Ahmedabad, won the World Cup T20, so they are a formidable side of the white ball. And also the depth of the Indian Cricket. Abhishek Sharma in those T20 – Wow, what a player he does again. Added.
With two remaining hate and the series at stake, England would seek to find the winning combination in the second game against India on Sunday in Cuttack.
