The indian team's bowling is very poor in the fourth Test match against England. Due to this, the english team is trying to accumulate runs in the Manchester Test match. england has now scored 544 runs for the loss of seven wickets after scoring 358 runs in the first innings. This is 186 runs more than India's first innings score. When the indian team bats, the pitch seems to be favorable for bowling. But fans are complaining about how it turns into a batting pitch only when england bats. cricket experts have blamed this on the indian players not bowling properly and the change in weather.
However, India's bowling coach Morne Morkel explained, "Compared to the second day, we bowled well on the third day. Our players did not give away a lot of runs." "However, it takes a lot of energy to bowl on a pitch like this. But we did not sit and weigh anyone. Both our star bowlers, bumrah and Siraj, twisted their legs. Due to this, they were in pain. However, both are in good physical condition now." "But we need a player who can bowl accurately and consistently on the pitch. That is why we chose the combination. When there are already three fast bowlers nearby, there is no need to bowl an extra fourth."
"This could be one of the reasons why shardul thakur was unable to bowl more than 5 overs. Also, washington sundar may have been used late as Gill wanted to use fast bowlers. kuldeep could not be included in the team to increase the batting strength of our team," Morkel said.
