Will the return of Karun Nair dream test end in Edgbaston to manage the workload of Rishabh Pant?

Rishabh Pant was undeniably the best striker in India during the first test. It was not only that he marked hundreds in both heats in Headingley, but how he did things in the middle. On a field for strikers where quisors tried to attract him to play big blows, Pant often held back his instinct.

He left and defended the balls more than he broke them. This is what stood out. In the absence of two senior strikers, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, Pant, who was the best striker in India in the 2020s, took the burden on himself to advance his sides. Instead of increasing his percentage of attack after marking his half-century, Pant wanted to beat his hundreds and beyond.

Does India need to manage Rishabh Pant’s workload?

However, he had some problems. Josh Tongue disturbed him a little. Hit him several times. Then, while the counter, a few balls also hit the pants. Many remained low and he had brought the blows. His work behind the stumps was great for the most part, but he was slightly slow at the end of the match.

We cannot forget that the pants must have undergone surgery on his knees, and that has been about 15 months since returning to cricket. And played through formats and in IPL. He didn’t have a lot of break. And then in this test, Pant not only kept the counter for 182.4 Overs; He also beat for 103.2 Overs.

No one spent as much time in the middle during the whole Headingley test. Since its position in the stick being higher than most other counters, Pant has less recovery time. In the first sleeves, he struck 54.4 Overs (52.4 to 107.2), then returned to keep 100.2 Overs. In the second excavation, he struck 46.4 overs (25.0 to 71.4), then kept 82 overs.

All this cannot be easy for the body. We are talking about the workload of Jasprit Bumrah, but no one worked harder than the pants during the first test. Due to reading the game and the ability to return the match in the time of a session with the bat, it could be the best dough in India. So India can risk injuring itself?

7 days ago to recover for the Edgbaston test. But knowing that the pants can be the best dough in India for the four remaining test games, perhaps Gautam Gambir and Shubman Gill might want to bring another gloves to take the pant gloves.

Karun Nair’s esèle for Dhruv Jurel – The solution?

It may not be what the pants may be, but to keep the hit stronger, a certain weight must be removed on his knees. One way of doing things is to bring Dhruv swear in the mixture. He made his test debut last year and powerfully impressed everyone. He has marked 6 fifty in the last 18 months. One in South Africa, one in Australia and three in England.

Karun Nair marked this double hundred against the Lions of England, but Jurel was the most constant striker in India. He marked fifty in all rounds within one. He is a good counter and generally beats in the middle order. But it is his technique that makes him good. It is a solid defense against rotation and rhythm. Can attack if needed, then shut up.

Nair played at number six in Headingley and scored only 20 points, which included a duck on his trial after 8 years. He does not deserve to be abandoned. Given its performance, a longer race should be given. But Nair is already beating out of position. It is a high level paste. For India A, he played three. But for his performance, Team India had to play it.

The position is not suitable for him and stranded after entering 430/4 and 287/4 is not an excellent look. But the reason he could make room for Jurel is not his non-performance. It’s pants. As mentioned, he could be a major contributor to India to return to the 5 -game test series. Its physical form is more important. He is already a counter in the first match.

Jurel is more than capable as a dough and his skills as a counter could be better than those of Pant. Bringing him to come to Nair could make sure that Pant plays more blows as he did in Headingley. Or, at each match, wear on his body could affect his performance.
