New Delhi. The Indian team has to participate in the Test series against England from 20 June. Prior to the Handingley Test, former legendary India batsman Sachin Tendulkar has shared his experience on batting in England. Apart from this, he has given the opinion of Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sai Sudarshan, Rishabh Pant and Karun Nair to further improve their batting in England.
Pay attention to front-foot defense against fast bowlers
Sachin Tendulkar, while speaking on the England series, said, “You have to recognize three things. Weather, overhead conditions and pitch status. Is it a sunny day? Is the wind blowing? Is it a green roof? Is the ball coming or is coming on the bat? Then you decide how to bat.
In England, if the batsman’s hands start getting away from the body, then the bowler is winning that fight. The front foot defense becomes important in the initial part of the innings, but do not land on the field with the defense mentality. You can avoid positively. Therefore, one should not miss the opportunities of scoring runs and when you land on the field with a defensive approach, it appears on your footwork.
Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant’s opinion to Sachin
What Sachin said on Jaiswal, Sudarshan, Nair
Jaiswal will have to keep in mind about playing the ball late while keeping the speed of the bat in mind. If Sudarshan can continue to keep his hands closer to the body with his vertical bat-shots, then it will be fine. Karun Nair has played county cricket. He understands when to speed up, when to slow down. When the ball is old, swing may occur, but there is not much bounce from the surface. He can then attack.
