Karun Nair and Dhruv Jurael audition for India vs. England through Lions Match through 1 Test

There are about 25 overs left, India A vs England Lions 1 informal match has ended. In the game’s run fest, 1385 runs were scored in 312 overs and just 22 wickets fell in 4 days. Now, one can see the result from two aspects.

First, it was a great confidence booster for a batsman of India and found a few miles in our bowler’s feet. Second, it was not a great test of the batsmen and did not help the bowlers at all besides exhaling. Both of these can come true at the same time.

Nair and Jural 1 make cases for test selection

But two players will be very happy. Karun Nair and Dhruv Juraral. The first Test had neither a guaranteed place in India’s initial XI against England. Well, maybe it has changed now. Although the conditions were not that tests, he was the best batsman of India A.

Both have shown the selectors that they can fill those holes in the XI of India left by Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli’s retirement. KL Rahul was already opening when Rohit did not play in Sydney and Yashasvi Jaiswal will be the other nominated opener. Shubman Gill will decide that he wants to bat on number three or four.

It still leaves two spots. Nair, who had a brilliant double-handrade in the first innings in Cantorbury, could slot both places. Gill can select his own, number three, or four of Kohli, and can be taken by Nair elsewhere. He has been one of the best domestic performances and even played in the County Championship.

For Jurael, it can be even more simple. Unfortunately he was rejected in the first innings, batting at number 94 at 94 and scored an unbeaten 53 in the second innings. The selectors played as a batsman in Australia in the first Test, so they already trust him. And seeing how well he performs against England Lions, it would be a shock if the position of number five goes to him.

Other positive

Other artists were also. Both Abhimanyu Ishwaran and Yashsavi Jaiswal scored a half -century in the second innings after failures in the first. Nitish Kumar Reddy did not actually show any good sign with the ball, but in the second excavation, his fifty saved the match for him.

Shardul Thakur was one of the better bowlers. He was constantly good. All -rounder bowled 28, the most overs of any bowler and played a quick cameo in the first innings.
