When you get out of Birmingham bus station, many taxi drivers cry: “Paaji, Paaji where (brother where?)”. Accent, you can make sure they don’t come from India but for them, an Indian face with a beard, wearing shorts and mid -height sneakers is “paaji”. A quick right to the city and there are many industrial buildings with endless graffiti. The inhabitants call it an “urban scratch” and attention to details in certain works of art is laudable.The Indian Cricket team will camp in the city for 12 nights and will certainly feel at home because of the “Desi” touch, and regular calls “Paaji, Paaji” will certainly be the comfort notes they would look for after losing the opening of the series in Headingley by five counters. It was a game that India dominated during most of the periods, it was a game where five strikers marked a ton, it was a game where Jasprit Bumrah chose a transport at five counters, but it turned out to be a game where England continued a total record to go 1-0 in the series.Go beyond the border with our YouTube channel. Subscribe now!Questions raised, shot fired, a lot of vinzing and the same old script began to take place, from the first test of the five -game series. A series where Bumrah should play only three tests and very likely to miss the second match in Birmingham to manage its workload. Plan B must quickly take action and when they do, Shubman Gill and Co. must come together for what will be a difficult road to come.

Coach Gautam Gambir argued that a winning vinaigrette is a happy dressing room. The victories did not come to the last tests – only one in the previous nine – and this is where players need to have their arms with each other. It is understood that the camaraderie and the atmosphere in the locker room are better than it was in the past and senior players like Kl Rahul and Ravi will deliver Jadeja to keep the young at ease.
Survey
Do you think the Indian Cricket team can bounce back in the remaining tests against England?
Jadeja found a new winger at Kuldeep Yadav for her coffee shopping and Kl Rahul was seen spending a lot of time with young people. He took them for meals in the evening and continues to hang around with the boys of Karnataka Karun Nair and Prasidh Krishna. Gill appeared as a very kind leader and even if he learns and grows at work, acceptance is there and it is important that this remains.
It is not a secret for anyone that the locker room in Australia was not the best place to be and that the results that do not take place even more affect the situation. India cannot afford a repetition of this in England, at least from the point of view of the locker room. Players must be focused on work at hand, and the atmosphere of the locker room will only help them with their capacities in the middle.It is a very young and inexperienced Indian team. Most play test cricket for the first time in this part of the world, but they have shown that they had enough ammunition to continue to shoot the opposition. The missed shots they should have taken, overturned the opportunities that were there for the catch but which would now seek to take on learning in their strides and keep their eyes locked up on the target – at the Birmingham test where the songs “Paaji, Paaji” will make them feel at home.
