India head coach Rahul Dravid spoke about the team’s loss in the first Test of the series against England in Hyderabad.

In the opening Test match, Dravid praised Ollie Pope’s outstanding knock as the game-changing moment. The former Indian cricket player was especially pleased with Pope’s use of the sweep and reverse sweep to effectively counter India’s spinners.

Dravid praised England batsman Ollie Pope’s innings, saying, “We shouldn’t have been chasing 230, but he came out and played a wonderful century” and considering it “the difference in the game”.

Bcci’s announcement for 2nd test

In a major setback for India, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has announced that Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul will not feature in the second Test against England, which will be played at Vizag from February 2.

Sarfaraz Khan, earning his maiden national call-up, joins the squad on the back of impressive performances in domestic cricket and the India A series against England Lions.

The absence of Jadeja, who played a pivotal role in the first Test with five wickets and an 87-run knock, poses a challenge for Team India. Speculations arise that off-spinner Washington Sundar may step in to fill the void.

KL Rahul, displaying stellar form since his comeback, will be missed after contributing significantly in the first Test with an 86-run innings. The workload from keeping wickets in the ODI World Cup and the Test series in South Africa appears to have taken a toll on his fitness.
