Mohammed Azharuddin, the former India captain, praised the Indian team for their performance in the second Test against England in Birmingham.
Azharuddin said, They played well in Birmingham. With that spirit, the team will be in good shape… When Bumrah comes back, that will be good news for the team… Right now, our bowling is better than England’s. Best of luck to the team and hope they win.
India and England will play the third Test of the five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series from July 10. After winning by 336 runs at Edgbaston, India are now 1-1 in the series and will go into the third Test at Lord’s with confidence.
