“I think India will be favorites moving forward in this test series. I am not saying this because of their performance in the first Test. I feel that way because of the youngsters, who have come in recently in the last two years. The best trait in most of these young players is that they are performing well in all conditions. There used to be times in the past when Indians used to play well at their home but not well in foreign tours. But after these youngsters came in, India has been doing well while touring abroad ‘, said Inzamam -ul-Haq.

Indian fast bowlers especially Jasprit Bumrah have seemed to have adapted to bowling in England conditions pretty well. When it comes to batting the way KL Rahul batted it was looking completely a batsman in form. Indian bowlers bow our England for 183 in the first innings and 303 in the second innings shows how they perform well as a unit. It is good to see KL Rahul back into the playing XI in the test side for India after 2 years. He scored a brilliant 84 in the first innings. The second test begins on August 12 at Lord’s.
