  1. VVS Laxman praises India’s lower-order fight VVS Laxman has said that he has seen Indian tailenders working hard in the nets and according to him, their hardwork paid off on Day 5 at Lord’s as India won the Test against England. Speedsters Mohammed Shami (56 not out) and Jasprit Bumrah (34 not out) added an unbroken ninth- wicket stand of 89 which helped India take a decent lead against England as well. While speaking about India’s fight back, Laxman stated on ESPN Cricinfo: “Credit to the team management and all the tailenders. Ishant Sharma is more than capable of batting and I have had the experience of having those partnerships with him. Shami is more than capable of batting. You know that he can hit big sixes. I still remember that match against South Africa, where he hit a lot of sixes. Umesh Yadav, who is not part of this playing XI, is a useful batsman. He has got a first-class hundred. Jasprit Bumrah, we have seen from the Australia series, how much value he is giving to his wicket and how much he has improved as far as his batting is concerned. Siraj, being from Hyderabad, I know that he can bat.”

  2. While India’s tailenders have failed to do well with the bat over the last few years, they showed some class fight in the first Test as well when Bumrah scored 28 in the first innings. Laxman also agreed that the lower-order contributing is a huge boost for India. He explained: “This is a massive shift for the Indian batting line-up. We have talked about how the middle-order hasn’t performed to their potential. Also, the contribution from Indian tailenders hasn’t been as good. Nothing succeeds like success. The more success you achieve, the more confidence you build. Now (lower-order players can think), ‘I can contribute useful runs every time I go out to bat’.” Follow CricadiumStats, Latest Cricket News, Live Cricket Score, Fantasy Tips and Today Match Prediction Stay updated Indian cricket team with all the cricketing roster, records, history & action.
