India are headed to the Lord’s test (from July 10) with great confidence after the 336 -year dominant victory England to Edgbaston, who level the series to 1-1. While working exceptionally well, especially with Shubman gill ‘S Double Century and the Duo of Rhythm of Mohammed Siraj and Akash DeepThere are still a couple of areas where India could make changes to optimize its XI for the unique conditions at Lord’s.
Here are 3 potential changes that India could do for the Lord’s test
1. Jasprit Bumrah in Prasidh Krishna:
This is almost a certainty. Captain Gill himself confirmed it Jasprit bumrah It was resting for the Edgbaston test specifically to manage its workload and ensure its physical form for the Lord’s test, where the pitch is expected to offer more on the seams. While Akash Deep had a phenomenal exit with a 10 Wicket transportation to Edgbaston, and Siraj was also excellent, Prasidh Krishna It could be the one who gives way. Bumrah’s ability to extract rebound and movement, along with his express rhythm and precision, makes him a crucial weapon in Lord’s, often christened as the “Cricket House”.
2. Shardul Thakur in Nitish Kumar Reddy:
Shardul Thakur It has a history tested in England, especially in Lord’s. It provides an invaluable experience of these conditions, often collecting crucial doctors at key moments and contributing to the bat. Its ability to move the ball both ways and hit -it has three tests from the fifties in England), it makes it a very attractive option, especially on a land like Lord that traditionally offers a little swing.
While Nightish Kumar Reddy He is a promising young man, his debut in Edgbaston saw him cheap at both entries (1 and 31), fighting the move of the ball. Nor did it make a bowl. While a “Batting All-Rounder,” Shardul provides a more established bidirectional threat in the test cricket, especially abroad. The team can seek more strength and experience in a crucial test.
3. Sai Sudharsan in Karun Nair:
Karun nairThe comeback to try the cricket has not gone as planned. After scoring a triple Century in 2016, his return to Headingley saw him get a duck and 20. In Edgbaston, promoted at number three, he scored 31 and 26, failing to turn outings despite showing his class visits. There is a feeling that it has not seemed completely comfortable, especially against the swinging ball. Sai Sudharsan, despite being abandoned for the Edgbaston test after his debut (0 and 30 in Headingley), is considered a long -term perspective. Won the orange cap Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 And it has shown a good way in the states of the county championship. Although its debut was not ideal, it is technically solid and could offer more stability in the higher or medium order if they are given a longer rope.
