According to Inzamam, the mindset of Indian players has changed drastically after series win in Australia
The mindset of the Indian players has “changed dramatically” since their series win in Australia earlier this year, former Pakistan captain Inzama-Ul-Haq said.
Inzamam said that India’s younger players have regularly stepped up whenever the seniors failed ever since their 3-1 win over Australia, which included a win at the Gabba where the hosts had not lost a Test in over three decades.
“Since that series, the mindset of the players has changed drastically. Now, if the big players don’t score runs, it does not have a significant impact on the end result, as the youngsters are stepping up and playing wonderful knocks to help the team. I personally want to see Rishabh Pant’s batting in the series,” explained Inzamam on his Youtube channel.
“The way he plays the game, he unfortunately got out quickly in the first innings, but he was trying to play his natural game even in the tough conditions,” said Inzamam.
The final day of the first Test between India and England at Trent Bridge. India were chasing a target of 209 runs on the final day and were on 52/1 when play was called off. This meant that the five-Test series remains 0-0 going into the second Test at Lord’s. The match starts on August 12.
“It is going to be a wonderful series. Watching such exciting youngsters performing well in English conditions will give joy to cricket lovers. Team India had a golden opportunity to win the first Test and take the lead in the series, but anyways I hope we will see the same level of exciting cricket for the rest of the series,” concluded Inzamam.
