Archer has accounted for 38 wickets in 11 Test matches. Although he has played mostly on seamer-friendly pitches in the longest format of the game, his exploits in the IPL are ample proof that he could be a force to reckoned with on Indian pitches too.
In a recent edition of the Star Sports show Game Plan, Gautam Gambhir identified Jofra Archer as the one England player who could scupper Team India’s plans of a series win.
England bowlers will look to keep Virat Kohli silent: Gautam Gambhir
Talking about the likely approach England bowlers like Jofra Archer and Stuart Broad could adopt against Virat Kohli, Gautam Gambhir observed that curtailment of the run flow could be their primary objective.
England had employed similar tactics against Sri Lanka in their 2-0 series triumph in the island nation last month.
Gautam Gambhir opined that England could look to be on the offensive only if conventional or reverse swing would be on offer. The left-hander, however, hoped that Team India do not get carried away from their exploits Down Under and starts things afresh against England.
England will certainly need to keep Virat Kohli quiet if they hope to restrict a formidable Indian batting lineup to a manageable total.
The Indian captain has amassed 1248 runs at an outstanding average of 78 in the last ten Tests he has played against the visitors. After missing out in the only Test he played Down Under, Virat Kohli would look to lead from the front and deliver a convincing series win.
