Oval. Shardul Tagore batted in the fourth Test to lead Team India to a satisfactory score. After scoring 191 in the first innings (IND vs. ENG), Team India was out. Shardul made 57 off 36 balls. Besides, captain Virat Kohli also played an innings of 50 runs. At the end of the first day’s play, England scored 53 for 3 in the first innings. After the day’s play, Shardul Tagore said the match was still a tie. We took the wicket of Joe Root who is in great form.

Shardul Tagore said, in the beginning the ball was swinging. Because of this the batsmen got into trouble. The ball was swinging less when we were playing. “We didn’t score big,” he said. But England’s three wickets also fell early. We got Root’s wicket. So the match is still the same. We now have a chance to wrap up England with a low score.

Jadeja and the pants match winner

Team India sent Rabindra Jadeja to bat at No. 5, but he managed only 10 runs. At the same time, the poor performance of wicketkeeper-batsman Shav Pant continues in the series. He was out for 9. In this regard, Shardul Tagore said, Pant and Jadeja are match winner players. Jadeja played important innings in the first and second Tests. Seeing the combination of left and right hands, Jadeja was sent to bat at number 5.

Playing with a straight bat is important

Regarding his batting, Shardul Tagore said that it is important to play straight with the bat on the swing pitch. He said, ‘I think playing with a straight bat is important because it gives you more runs. The ball swings a lot in England. My batting has also improved in recent times. I have talked to the batting coaches and experts about this and they have also suggested that I play straight with the bat whenever I get the chance. I also got the benefit of it. ‘
