Ex-India Stumper Surprised By Kuldeep Yadav's Omission From India's Playing XI
India opted for a pace-heavy attack with four quicks and a sole spinner in veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja for the series opener at Headingley in Leeds. 'I would have liked Kuldeep Yadav to be in the playing XI. He is your trump card alongside (Jasprit) Bumrah. I would have picked him," Engineer told PTI on Friday, the first day of the opening Test. 'Since he is a quality bowler, England batters would find it difficult to play him. So, I would play him in all five games," he added. The 87-year-old, who featured in 46 Tests for India between 1961 and 1975, also supported new Test captain Shubman Gill, backing the 25-year-old to succeed despite his modest batting record in SENA countries. 'A few people have written Shubman off, saying he hasn't got runs in England or he can't get runs in England because of his technique, but I beg to disagree. He is a class player." He was particularly impressed with Gill's leadership during the 2025 IPL season, where the opener led Gujarat Titans to the Eliminator. 'Shubman has got this captaincy after the IPL. He captained his team pretty well in the IPL. I thought he showed calmness and made the right decisions—bowling changes and fielding changes. 'So, let's give him a chance and an opportunity because I think he'll do well. I have confidence that he's a level-headed young man and willing to listen to senior players like KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant the vice-captain, or certainly Jasprit Bumrah. So, I think he'll do well. Let's back him," he said. Engineer also lauded Yashasvi Jaiswal, who struck a fluent 101 off 159 balls on the opening day, setting the tone for India in the series. 'Credit to Yashasvi Jaiswal for batting patiently despite a painful rib injury from a short ball. He played his shots correctly and batted superbly." Reflecting on England's bowling performance, the former cricketer felt India should exploit the home side's weak spin attack. 'England lack quality spinners. Young Bashir, despite a decent Test record, isn't great and can concede runs. Our batsmen excel against off-spin, so they'll capitalise on him," he said. Engineer added that while the retirement of stalwarts Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and R Ashwin has undeniably left a void in the Indian Test setup, it also paves the way for the next generation to step up. 'A player of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravichandran Ashwin's calibre will undoubtedly be missed, but this creates great opportunities for youngsters like Sai Sudharsan. 'I'm confident we'll see more of Sai in Test cricket, despite his unfortunate dismissal today," added Engineer, referring to the debutant's four-ball duck. Advertisement

Meet Yashasvi Jaiswal's rumoured girlfriend, her name is..., they first met through...
In this collection of pictures we shall know about Yashasvi Jaiswal's rumoured girlfriend, we shall also know through whom they first met. Let's dive in. Maddie Hamilton, a student from the UK, was noticed by many during the India vs England Test match in Hyderabad in 2024, where she wore an Indian team jersey to show support for Jaiswal. Her regular presence at several games has led people to guess that there might be something going on between them. During the IPL 2024 season, Maddie was often spotted in the crowd, cheering for Jaiswal and his team, the Rajasthan Royals. Her frequent visits to the matches led to more talk online, with many people wondering if the two are in a relationship.

IND vs ENG 1st Test: What makes Yashasvi Jaiswal different? His former Rajasthan Royals teammates explain
Yashasvi Jaiswal (ANI Photo) NEW DELHI: In the IPL and T20Is, Yashasvi Jaiswal has built his reputation by playing 360-degree shots. But in Test cricket, he plays in stark contrast to his aggressive nature — biding his time, and striking only when the opportunity arises. On Friday, the 23-year-old scored an exquisite hundred in the first innings of the Leeds Test. It was an innings of two halves: his first 50 came off 96 balls, while his second came in just 48. It marked his fifth Test ton and third against England. He joined the elite list of Vijay Manjrekar, Sourav Ganguly, Sandeep Patil, and Murali Vijay by scoring a century in his first outing in England. Jaiswal was dismissed for 101 on Day 1 of the first Test of the five-match series against England in Leeds. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! In Jaiswal's case, cricket greats have often cited his 'inherent hunger' and 'desperation to succeed' — attributes rooted to his humble beginnings. Jaiswal's story is indeed inspiring. But Jos Buttler , his former Rajasthan Royals teammate, credits the youngster's fearless approach for his excellence in both T20s and Test cricket. "It's probably the mindset — the sort of attitude to risk is a lot — and he is very willing to take what may seem on the outside like a risk, but I don't think players now see it as a risk. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like เทรดทองCFDs กับโบรกเกอร์ที่เชื่อถือได้ | เรียนรู้เพิ่มเติม IC Markets สมัคร Undo He plays a lot of different shots from ball one," Buttler told in an interaction during IPL 2025. Buttler, who has observed Jaiswal's growth up close at the Rajasthan Royals, explained what makes the opener so special. "He has got excellent fundamental basics of the game as well. And I think that will never really change over time," he shared. Shubman's Big Test Begins! India's Probable XI & Stokes' Mind Games | ENG vs IND 1st Test Preview "We certainly do play in a time now where there are players who are more focused on being hitters of the cricket ball and sort of setting up their techniques for that. "But, you know, the basics sort of remain the same — being in a good solid base, having a good head position, everything working well together. I think the basics will always take care of where to start, and then you develop the rest of your game after that. So I think it's important, in and around your practice, to make sure you have a bit of that. "And I think that's what he does. Guys like Jaiswal are very successful in Test cricket as well as T20 cricket because their game is so strong," he added. Buttler, the former England white-ball captain, had also posted a heartfelt message when Jaiswal took England to the cleaners during the home series in early 2024 — explaining why he enjoys Jaiswal's batting, even if it comes against his own country. "Shame he's doing it against England but v(very) hard not to be so happy for @yashasvijaiswal28. Getting everything he deserves from his talent, hunger and work ethic. WHAT A STAR!" Buttler had written in his Instagram story. How Shubman Gill prepared for the first Test vs England in Leeds | Exclusive from Nets Joe Root, who spent a season with Jaiswal at the Royals during IPL 2023, had also showered praise on the southpaw. 'His ability to strike cleanly and blast the ball to all parts from ball one is impressive. But to be able to transfer skills to the Test format [means] he has got a very sound technique,' Root had said of Jaiswal. In the home series against England, Jaiswal had scored 712 runs in 2024. He then finished as India's leading run-getter in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, finishing with 391 runs, including a 161 in Perth and a couple of fifties in Melbourne. Now, on his first tour of England, he has opened his account with a century. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story. Watch Episode 1 here
