Manchester ke Old Trafford mein 23 July 2025 ko shuru hua India aur England ke beech chautha Test match kaafi dilchasp raha. England ke captain Ben Stokes ne toss jeeta aur pehle bowling ka faisla kiya, kyunki overcast conditions aur thodi si grass wali pitch seamers ke liye faydemand thi. India ne apni playing XI mein teen badlav kiye: Anshul Kamboj ko Test debut diya gaya, jabki Sai Sudharsan aur Shardul Thakur ne Karun Nair aur Nitish Kumar Reddy ki jagah li. England ne bhi ek change kiya, Liam Dawson ne injured Shoaib Bashir ki jagah li.
India ke liye Anshul Kamboj ka debut ek nayi ummeed hai. 24 saal ke is Haryana ke pacer ne 2024-25 Ranji Trophy mein 34 wickets liye (average 13.79), jo unki consistency dikhata hai. Sai Sudharsan, jo pehle Leeds Test mein khel chuke hain, ek solid batsman hain jo No. 3 par stability la sakte hain. Shardul Thakur ka all-rounder tajurba team ko balance deta hai, khaas kar jab Nitish Reddy injury ke wajah se bahar hain. England ke liye, Liam Dawson ka wapas aana, jo 2017 ke baad Test khel rahe hain, unke spin department ko mazbooti deta hai.
India ke liye injuries ek badi samasya hain. Akash Deep (groin injury) aur Nitish Reddy (knee injury) ke bahar hone se team ka bowling aur batting balance bigda hai. Karun Nair ka form mein na hona (131 runs, average 21.83) ek chinta ka vishay tha, lekin unki jagah Sai Sudharsan ke liye consistency saabit karna hoga. England ke liye, Shoaib Bashir ka injury ek jhatka hai, kyunki unhone Lord’s Test mein shandaar pradarshan kiya tha.
Old Trafford mein teams ne pehle bowling ka faisla karke kabhi Test nahi jeeta, jo India ke liye ek chhota sa fayda ho sakta hai. India ka Manchester mein record bhi kamzor hai, 9 matches mein 4 haar aur 5 draw. 1990 mein Anil Kumble ne yahan Test debut kiya tha, aur unka 10-wicket haul Kamboj ke sath ek dilchasp coincidence hai. England ki 2007 ke baad India ke khilaaf series jeetne ki koshish India ke liye ek challenge hai, lekin 2000s mein Sachin Tendulkar aur Rahul Dravid ke golden era ne dikhaya ki India pressure mein bhi lad sakta hai.
| Player | Role | Recent Performance (2024-25) |
|---|---|---|
| Anshul Kamboj | Pacer | 34 wickets, Avg 13.79 (Ranji Trophy) |
| Sai Sudharsan | Batsman | 0 & 30 (Leeds Test) |
| Shardul Thakur | All-rounder | 1 Test, limited impact (Leeds) |
| Liam Dawson | Spinner | 371 wickets in 212 FC matches |
India, 2-1 se peechhe hone ke bawajood, is match mein competitive hai. Shubman Gill ki captaincy aur Jasprit Bumrah ki bowling unko strong contender banati hai. Betting ke liye, “Match Winner” par India par daav laga sakte hain, kyunki unka batting lineup mazboot hai aur pitch baad mein batting-friendly ho sakti hai. “Top Batsman” ke liye Yashasvi Jaiswal ek achha option hain, unki aggressive batting form mein hai. Chances of success: 60% India ke favor mein, agar woh early wickets bacha lete hain.
India ke young players jaise Kamboj aur Sudharsan ke liye yeh match ek bada mauka hai. Unke pradarshan par sabki nazar rahegi.
