Sanjay Manjrekar remembered Virat Kohli's era as Test captain and said that the India National Cricket Team never looked flat under his guidance.
The visitors are having a tough time in the ongoing fourth Test match of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 against England at Old Trafford in Manchester.
However, the middle-order batters were not able to make the most of it, and India ended up posting 358 runs on the board in 114.1 overs despite batting one and a half days.
When it was India's turn to bowl on Day 2, they were absolutely awful. The Jasprit Bumrah-led bowling attack was taken to cleaners by Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett, and the pacers didn't bowl enough threatening deliveries.

Sanjay Manjrekar further admitted that the current Indian team hasn't looked very flat either, but the absence of Rishabh Pant has hurt the Test skipper, Shubman Gill, badly.
"I don't say that this Indian team looked flat. These were difficult conditions, but Rishabh Pant makes a difference being on the field and Shubman Gill hasn't had his company on the field for a while," Manjrekar explained.
Notably, Pant stayed off the field in the third Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy due to a finger injury, and in the ongoing Test match at Old Trafford, he has fractured his foot.
