Virat and Sharma are massive losses, but India have depth: Brydon Carse

England pacer Brydon Carse is expecting the transitioning Indian team to put up a strong fight in the five-match Test series despite the recent retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, thanks to their "huge depth". Kohli and Rohit announced their retirement from Test cricket last month, after which, the BCCI appointed Shubman Gill as the new skipper keeping the future in mind. "Look, obviously, you know, Virat and Sharma are massive losses for their batting line-up. They've been experienced players over a number of years and, you know, world-class batters. "But the depth that Indian cricket have and the quality and players coming through, you know, they will, without a doubt, put up a very strong 11 and we're ready for whatever challenge that brings," Carse said here on Wednesday. The series begins here from Friday. Carse, the strapping fast bowler with a quick arm action, said their bowling attack will look to take advantage of a bit of inexperience in the Indian line-up depen

In England you got to play a little side-on: Pant reveals shift in stance

India vice-captain Rishabh Pant on Wednesday said that he has effected a slight change to his stance from open in white ball formats to more side on in Test cricket to meet the demands of the swing-friendly England conditions. Pant, who is going to bat at No. 5 in the five-Test series beginning on Friday, will have to play a larger role for India with the bat, particularly in the absence of retired stars such as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. "I think mostly it's (changes) mental, a little bit of technical too. It is like in one-day and T20s you have to open up your stance because of the kind of shots you want to play, Pant said in a press conference here. Pant has a good record as a batter in England, making 556 runs from 9 Tests at an average of 32.70 with two hundreds and as many fifties. "At the same time coming to England you got to play a little side-on and that really helps. That's the basic technical thing which I have shifted, other than that it's just the mindset thing,"

The best knock any SA batter has ever played in Tests: Pietersen on Markram

Former England captain Kevin Pietersen on Saturday rated Protea opener Aiden Markram's measured hundred against Australia in the World Test Championship final as the best innings by a South African batter in Test matches. Markram's 207-ball 136 guided SA to a five-wicket victory over the Australians, as the Proteas ended a 27-year-long wait to win an ICC trophy. "Probably the best innings any South African batter has ever played in Test match cricket. It might not go down as the most attacking or entertaining if you look back at South Africa's Test history, Pietersen, a JioStar expert, said. Pietersen said the century became very significant in the context of the World Test Championship final. But when you factor in the expectation, the stage, and the pressure after failing in the first innings, it was extraordinary. Whether you're a batter or a bowler, when your country is counting on you and you have to deliver that pressure is immense. He lost (Ryan) Rickelton early, yet still
