Both India and England have exceptional seam-bowling attacks that can run through the opposition batting line-up. The two teams will also hope that their batsmen rise to the occasion and help them post a substantial score.
In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra named Ollie Robinson as the likely standout performer from the England side. He reasoned:
The former Indian cricketer highlighted that the lanky pacer will cause problems for the visitors with both line and disconcerting bounce. Aakash Chopra elaborated:
Robinson took a seven-wicket match haul in his debut Test at Lord’s against New Zealand. He followed that up with his maiden five-wicket haul in the first Test against India at Trent Bridge.
Aakash Chopra on the likely star bowler from the Indian side
Aakash Chopra expects Jasprit Bumrah to carry his rich vein of form from Nottingham to Lord’s. He elaborated:
The 43-year-old pointed out that he has opted to go with a bowler from both sides as it is the area of strength of the two teams. Aakash Chopra observed:
The Lord’s pitch is likely to be less seamer-friendly than the one at Nottingham. The batsmen from both sides will hope to emulate the efforts of Joe Root and KL Rahul from the first Test and make match-defining contributions.
