SUBSCRIBE NOW! "I watched a little clip on his dismissals early in his career, and the ball was moving a lot. He got bowled, LBW a lot, like coming back through the gate," Healy said on the Willow Talk podcast. "That was his technical flaw, and all of a sudden, that's not happening now. So he's gone and worked on that. He's fixed that. "But also the ball, like, not really doing a whole heap, has probably helped him in that regard too. I am not downplaying this at all because it's been remarkable. "But yeah, like, kudos to him for making some technical changes knowing that hopefully they'd work in England." However, former Australia wicketkeeper Brad Haddin showered praise on the new Indian captain. "It's what the best players in the world do. You all come in to start the Test career," said Haddin. Shubman Gill, Gautam Gambhir shut critics with thumping win over England "Everyone's got footage of everyone, and sometimes you can get exposed in a certain way, and it's not about getting exposed. It's about how you react to that and come back. And he's come back world-class. We've seen this for some time coming in the IPL. "He's been great taking over the captaincy there. He doesn't get flustered. He seems like one of those guys who's got an even tempo through the whole time. "And that's good for an Indian captain because a lot of the time, you can get caught up in the emotion of what's happening in the game. But what he's done with his team, the big thing as well — no Bumrah." Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

IND vs ENG, 2nd Test: 'They can't win' - Former England captain pleads Ben Stokes and co to bat for draw
BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND - JULY 05: Harry Brook of England avoids a short ball from Akash Deep of India during day four of the 2nd Rothesay Test Match between England and India at Edgbaston on July 05, 2025 in Birmingham, England. (Photo by) Former England captain Michael Vaughan has pleaded with Ben Stokes and co to play for a draw on the final day as they can't win the Edgbaston Test from this position. "They can't win this game," Vaughan told BBC Cricket. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "India have completely dominated the Test match with brilliant skill, great discipline. It's exactly what I want to see from England tomorrow. In a funny kind of way, this day has been coming where the Bazballers can't arrive on day five and even think about winning. "Have they got the ticker, the skill set, and the determination to try and get a draw? The next best thing from winning a Test match is getting a draw. If they just kind of give it away and just say, oh, you know, the way that we play, we're always on the front foot playing aggressively, they'll get bowled out quickly tomorrow. Have they got the skill set and the mindset to try and bat the full day and get on the bus to Lord's with a draw? We'll wait and see. " Vaughan pointed out that in the 34 Tests under Stokes' captaincy, England have drawn only once — a rain-affected game — while winning 21 and losing 12. He argued that to succeed in major series, especially against top sides like India or in Australia, England's mindset needs to shift. 'Bazball's going to get asked the ultimate question tomorrow. Are the team and the players going to go completely against what their natural instincts are to do? You've got to get what's best on offer. And what's best on offer at the minute is a draw,' Vaughan said on Test Match Special. India Dominate Day 4! Siraj & Akash Deep Rattle England 'If you want to win the big series against the likes of India at home in five matches and you want to go to Australia, I think it's impossible to have a mindset that we just win, that's all we go for. We don't play for draws. "A draw for England from this position, and I hope they get it more in a way of kind of success, if they can get away from here with a draw, it's almost better than last week's win because it's completely against their natural trade.'
