In the ongoing fourth Test of the India vs England series, Akash Deep made his debut. He has replaced Jasprit Bumrah, who has been rested for the game as he has played the first three games. Meanwhile, the Bengal player has shared the new ball with Mohammed Siraj as the Three Lions won the toss and elected to bat first.

In the fourth over of the ongoing first innings, the Royal Challengers Bangalore player in the IPL managed to get through the defenses of Zak Crawley. However, much to the right-arm pacer’s disappointment, he overstepped the popping crease. Since then, the England opener, Zak Crawley has been doing well. In the seventh over, he hit three back-to-back fours and a six to Siraj.

Meanwhile, after Siraj was hit for a few boundaries, he was replaced by Ravindra Jadeja, who troubled Ben Duckett but the latter survived a DRS. On the other hand, Akash Deep kept bowling from his end. He has been finally rewarded for his good bowling as he got Duckett caught behind by Dhruv Jurel in his fifth over. Two balls later, Akash managed to trap first Test hero Ollie Pope for lbw. At the time of writing, England have lost two wickets for 47 runs with Crawley and former skipper Joe Root batting at the crease.

Following India’s heavy loss to Australia in the first Test of the series, Australian media highlighted key concerns for the Indian team, including Rohit Sharma’s performance as captain. Pat Cummins and his team’s emphatic win by 209 runs sparked discussions about India’s bowling strategy and batting collapse.

Australian newspapers like The Age underscored Mitchell Starc’s lethal bowling display as a stark reminder of his prowess in Test cricket. Starc’s fiery spell dismantled India’s top order, a performance seen as pivotal in Australia’s dominant victory. The media also pointed out the pressure mounting on Rohit Sharma for tactical shortcomings, including field placements and decision-making under challenging circumstances.

India’s batting lineup faltered against Australia’s aggressive bowling, with only a few players resisting. Critics emphasized that the Indian team’s inability to adapt to the pink-ball conditions in Adelaide cost them dearly. The media also praised Australia for its disciplined approach, particularly the consistency of its pace attack, which Starc and Cummins led.

As the series progresses, this defeat puts India under immense pressure to bounce back, especially with the spotlight on Rohit Sharma’s leadership and the team’s resilience. Fans now await India’s response in the next Test.
