While Pujara and Rahane perished in familiar fashion on Day 1 at The Oval, nicking deliveries behind the stumps, Pant toe-ended Chris Woakes, trying to take on the pacer.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Butt opined that Rahane, Pujara and Pant are failing to learn from their mistakes, while Virat Kohli’s struggles aren’t helping matters. He stated:
Butt added:
“Rahane hasn’t scored much in the last games but same is the case with Kohli and Pujara” - Virender Sehwag
Having lost three wickets early on, India tried to change things and sent in Ravindra Jadeja ahead of Rahane and Pant. The move did not work though and the all-rounder was back in the hut for 10.
Analyzing the move, Virender Sehwag said that it could be a one-off thing to try the left-right combination.
He was quoted as saying in a Hindustan Times report:
Sehwag added:
India were bowled for 191 on Day 1 of The Oval Test. England were 53 for 3 in response, with Joe Root being dismissed for 21.
