India are still reeling from their narrow defeat at Lord’s on Monday. Shubman Gill’s side are 2-1 down in the India vs England series, despite being the dominant side throughout. Now with the series on the line, former England pacer Steve Harmison thinks India are missing the likes of Virat Kohli, who retired before the IND vs ENG series.
India has to start believing: Steve Harmison
India needed 193 in the 4th innings at Lord’s to take a 2-1 lead. However, Shubman Gill and Co faltered, falling to a heartbreaking 22-run defeat.
Former England pacer Steve Harmison thinks India need to take a page out of former captain Virat Kohli’s book. Harmison believes Kohli would ‘comfortably’ aced the run chase at Lord’s.
“India has scored more hundreds, more top-order runs, and more new ball wickets, but England has got a knack of finding a way to win. Finding a way of creating an event throughout a session to change the course of the game. For me, India has to start believing. This is where the likes of Virat Kohli were unbelievable. In a fourth innings chase, he goes and wins the game comfortably. He would have won that game comfortably at Lord’s,” Harmison said in ESPNcricinfo Match Day.
Kohli retired from Test cricket ahead of the India vs England series. While captain, he led India to a 2-1 in 4 Tests in the previous series.
