Gautam Gambhir - Shubman Gill sent ‘no brainer' message ahead of Edgbaston Test: ‘You have to play him…'
Team India failed to hand a defeat to the hosts during the 1st Test match at Leeds as they eventually lost the encounter by 5 wickets despite having five centurions in their ranks. As a young team under Shubman Gill's leadership looks to make a comeback in the Edgbaston Test, they will have serious doubts about the ability to take 20 wickets in the upcoming match especially given that Jasprit Bumrah may not feature in the fixture. Bumrah could be replaced in the upcoming match by left arm pacer Arshdeep Singh. However, there is also a growing call in the cricket fraternity that India should include the services of wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav for the upcoming Test match in order to bolster the Indian bowling attack. Former Australian cricketer Michael Clarke has said in his Beyond 23 podcast that the inclusion of Yadav in playing XI should be a no brainer for the Edgbaston Test. "Bowling-wise, I do not want to be hard on any individual, but I think they've got to play Kuldeep Yadav. I think it is an absolute no-brainer. I think he's a wicket-taker and would have offered a lot more than what he saw the attack do in this Test," Clarke said on his podcast. 'India have done this for a while. They care so much about extra batting or stacking the batting deep, and they are willing to risk picking the number one spinner to do that. I think to win in England, you've got to look to pick 20 wickets," he added. Prior to Clarke, even former English star Nick Knight has also asked for the inclusion of Yadav for the 2nd Test match. He said, 'I would be looking for every opportunity to play Kuldeep Yadav. England will find it hard against Kuldeep. If Kuldeep is on top of his game, that could be a defining moment in the series, or moments, because England likes to be aggressive. When you want to be aggressive, you have to be certain about which way the ball is turning. If there is a little bit of assistance from the pitch, Kuldeep will be able to bowl all his varieties,'

'I made your name': Ex-England cricketer on Sachin Tendulkar vs Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli bows down to Sachin Tendulkar after breaking his record of most number of centuries in the ODIs during the 2023 ODI World Cup. Former England cricketer Allan Lamb has picked his favourite Indian batter of all time. The 71-year-old, who represented England in three World Cups and 79 Tests, said Sachin Tendulkar is the best India has ever produced. "Sachin easily," Lamb told PTI. He then explained how he helped make Sachin's career: "I played against him when he was 18. I dropped him at slip and he went on to get 100 (in a Test match). So I always say to him, it was me that made your name." Arshdeep vs Morkel: WWE at the Nets! | Team India's Lighter Moment in Birmingham Lamb then explained why he picked Tendulkar ahead of Gavaskar and Kohli. "Kohli is a brilliant player, he's got all the shots, he can score quickly. But if you want the best player I played against, that Indian player is Sachin, even ahead of Sunny. "The only thing I would have liked was to see Sachin play against the West Indies, where Sunny scored runs against the West Indies. He was probably the only Indian to score runs against those quicks," he said. Poll Do you agree with Allan Lamb's choice of Sachin Tendulkar as the best Indian batter? Yes No Not Sure But Lamb's favourite Indian cricketer of all time was his former Northamptonshire teammate Kapil Dev . "I loved the way Kapil Dev played. We played together at Northampton," he recalled. "I remember him coming over and me saying, 'Kapi, I'm so pleased that you've come over. We need to strengthen our bowling.' He said, 'No, I haven't come to strengthen my bowling. I've come to better my batting. I've come here as a batsman,' which I always enjoyed," he added.
