Indian batsmen had a fabulous outing in the only practice match ahead of the first Test against England scheduled to begin o🦋n August 1.
Playing against Essex, captain Virat Kohli, Murali Vijay, Dinesh Karthik, and KL Rahul made their performance count, scoring well compiled half-centuries in th🍬eir first innings.
However, India’s premier spinner Ravichandran Ashwin suffered a minor hand injury during a net session and as a precautionary measure did not take field on the second day of the game.
The Indian team management said t𝕴hat the physio has taken a look and deduced that it was only a minor injury.
Also, the team management doesn’t want to take any chance as Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah are already injured, and Ravi Ashwin is slated to play a crucial in the five-match Test series.
He is one of the most accomplished bat♌smen these days contributing in lower half of the batting order. The wickets in England are also assisting☂ spinners because of the wear and tear so his role as a bowler is another key aspect of plans.
