However, now as India advances to the home of cricket at the iconic stadium of Lord's, they are barely left with training hours before the historic Test.
But if there was one player who was seen ripping something useful from the nets, it was Indian batter Karun Nair. Nair has been brought back into the Indian side after a gap of 8 years, and surely he would not want to let it go this time.
Beginning with throwdowns, Karun Nair next played against the pacers in the nets, followed by spin, and then again by throwdowns. He showed full intent to revive form before the crucial Test, as he batted for a longer session than the designated time, as per RevSportz.
He next showed perseverance against the best delivery under English conditions, that is, the ball swirling outside the off-stump. He faced the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shardul Thakur, and Arshdeep Singh. He looked assured and tackled it wisely, only dismissed once by Bumrah's in-dipping delivery.
Sai Sudharsan or Karun Nair? Debate ends at the Lord's
India went on to feature either of these players, Sai Sudharsan, at no. 3, and Karun Nair at no. 6; however, neither of these two batters impressed with their performance. As a result of this, young Sudharsan was dropped in the next fixture at Edgbaston.
India head to Lord's with only one change: Jasprit Bumrah is back
Much was expected after a historic win; India would stick to their strategies from the Lord's Test. They have named three pacers again, with Jasprit Bumrah returning to the playing 11, replacing Prasidh Krishna, who was economical at Edgbaston.
