Monty Panesar said
,
"This is a huge win for England, no one even thought that this would be possible. Everyone thought that England would lose after trailing by 190 runs, but Ollie Pope played a brilliant innings, Which was one of the best innings we have seen in a long time and Rohit Sharma had no idea. If Virat Kohli had been playing, he would have been in front of these England players and told them 'Hey, then Do it, let's see how good you are'. This is an England team which is not afraid of losing. In the next four matches, England will still play with the fear of failure."
Apart from this, the former English spinner took his point further and said, "I think England is a team which is learning from India, they look at India, they look at how the bowlers have been bowling, they look at How they bat and their body language on the field. They look at the weakness of the Indian team and then they start understanding how they can beat India. I will give you an example, Axar Patel mental Was not strong in form and dropped catches, on the other hand, look at Tom Hartley, Yashasvi Jaiswal hit him for many fours in the first innings but Ben Stokes supported him, his captaincy was brilliant and Hartley's bowling performance in the second innings was brilliant ."
Monty spoke on Kohli not playing.
Monty Panesar said, "Virat Kohli's presence and his aggression were missing. If Virat was playing the first Test, he would have attacked the England players. He would have told them, let's do it again." Let's see how good you are."
What will Rohit have to do in the next Test?
Monty Panesar also talked about captain Rohit and said, "Now Rohit will have to do tremendous captaincy in the upcoming Test matches. Rohit Sharma will tell his players that they need to play fearlessly. Now Rohit Sharma can show real captaincy. He has to show that the team can bounce back even after losing the first test match and he is not disappointed."
