status in world cricket and outplay the English in the remaining three matches of the high-voltage Test series.
The ongoing 4-match series is of immense importance in International cricket as the two competing teams are fighting for No 1 spot, which is currently with Team India
Irani thinks that if the Men in Blue do not get offensive, they will not be able to perk up against the mighty Poms. He opines that the tourists underperformed at Lord’s in the 1st Test and could not overtake the hosts due to their defensive approach.
England convincingly and comprehensively won the opening game, the 2000th of Test history, with a huge margin of 196 runs.
Irani argues that the absence of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739, the opening batsman, is an irreplaceable loss for India as no other player can imitate his furious style of play.
He is of the view that Team India is respected around the globe for their outstanding role in International cricket and their recently earned, second ICC Cricket World Cup title.
The former cricketer is very confident regarding India’s capability to strike back and has asked them to take inspiration from the sterling performances of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KP-Pietersen-c1806, the English batting duo who sealed the 1st Test in favour
of their side.
Irani has also suggested the Indian selectors to include http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yuvraj-Singh-c98364 in the squad for the 2nd Test.
He postulates that India should not lose heart for want of Sehwag as they have two senior and experienced batting rock-stars, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Dravid-c2229, who have the potential to change the fate of a game at any juncture.
Irani has termed the 2nd Test as a decisive one as he thinks that if India loses the game, they will lose the series.
