Jaiswal opens up on England debut tour: Wanted to show more consistency

Yashasvi Jaiswal wanted to be more consistent on his first tour of England but drew immense satisfaction from his second-innings ton on a spicy pitch at The Oval to help set a massive 374-run target in the fifth Test. Jaiswal ended the series with 411 runs at an average of 41.10 including two centuries and as many fifties. In the initial phase, he was peppered with plenty of short balls into the rib cage, before Jaiswal had his fair share of struggle against Jofra Archer at Lord's. The Indian opener's returns in 10 innings scores of 101, 4, 87, 28, 13, 0, 58, 0, 2, 118 suggest he was not among the most consistent batters but Jaiswal did leave a lasting impact after a decent run in Australia. I think I wanted to do more. I wanted to make my innings bigger than that. So, I could have achieved something else. But it's okay, he told the media on Saturday. I was trying very hard for that and I was enjoying it. Whenever I go out there, I think, as long as I can bat, I enjoy batting as

Prasidh Krishna credits trust and team spirit for IND's resurgence at Oval

India pacers Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj have credited mutual trust, responsibility, and a close-knit fast-bowling unit for the team's spirited comeback against England in the ongoing Test. After a forgettable opening session where Siraj and Co were taken to the cleaners by Ben Duckett (43 off 38) and Zak Crawley (64 off 57), the Indian pacers bounced back in style, bowling out England for 247 in the final session to restrict the hosts to a slender 23-run lead. "The three of us actually had a chat in the break. We said, you know, whatever happened has happened. I think we know what we have to be doing," Prasidh revealed about the turnaround in a video posted in BCCI website. "And then make sure we back each other up every single time we are bowling there. If we feel there's a need to change in something that we're doing, we go walk up to each other and, you know, keep reminding or just bring people on to the same path as the plans were. "I think we're really happy. Make sure

'Not fair to say Bumrah picks and chooses,' says India assistant coach

Jasprit Bumrah had made himself available for only three of the five Tests in England and the Indian team management felt it was right to honour the star pacer's call considering his workload, said assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate. With the series on the line, Indian captain Shubman Gill and head coach Gautam Gambhir waited till the last minute to take a call on Bumrah, who played the first Test at Headingley, skipped the second match at Edgbaston, and featured in the games at Lord's and Old Trafford. Speaking to reporters after day one of the series-deciding fifth Test against England here, Doeschate said it is always a tough call leaving a player like Bumrah on the bench. "It's quite a complex issue around Bumrah. We obviously want to wheel him in, but we also want to respect where his body's at, and on the basis of that, we just felt that it wasn't worth including him in the squad," he said on Thursday. "He has bowled a large number of overs, I know it doesn't always seem like

Injury blow for ENG! Woakes to miss remainder of fifth Test at The Oval

The incident occurred late on Day 1 when Chris Woakes sprinted from mid-off to cut off a Karun Nair drive heading towards the boundary

ENG vs IND 5th Test: Chris Woakes' injury looks bad, reveals Gus Atkinson

England suffered another injury scare after all-rounder Chris Woakes walked off the field on the first day of the fifth and final Test with a suspected shoulder dislocation. The all-rounder had to leave the field after landing awkwardly on his left shoulder while saving a ball hit to the boundary by Karun Nair at long-off late in the opening day of the match on Thursday. Woakes looked in visible pain as he walked off the field with his left arm wrapped in his sweater. "I don't know too much about it, but it doesn't look great," teammate Gus Atkinson said after India reached 204 for 6 at stumps on a rain-affected day. "It's a big shame, last game of the series, and when anyone gets injured, it's a shame. I'm hoping it's not too bad, and whatever it is, he'll get full support from everyone." Woakes has bowled 14 overs so far in the ongoing Test, picking up the crucial wicket of KL Rahul, conceding 46 runs. Woakes' injury has added to the growing list of concerns for England, with t
