Virat Kohli has a huge responsibility on his shoulders to win a Test match at Lord’s. If India is successful in winning this test match, then India will get this victory after 13 years. Let us tell you that Team India has taken a lead of 154 runs in the second innings so far and the good thing from India’s point of view is that wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant is standing on the crease. In whose favor the victory in the second Test will go to a large extent, it will be decided in the first session of the last day. Let us tell you which three players are going to be responsible for India’s victory on the fifth day of the Lord’s Test.

Pant will have to play a big innings on the last day of the Test if Virat Kohli wants to fulfill his dream of winning at Lord’s. Pant has faced 29 balls so far and 14 runs are unbeaten. The Indian wicketkeeper has the ability to turn the match around in just a few overs. If Pant manages to show his mettle in the first session of the fifth day, there is no doubt that the Indian team will be able to take a big lead. In such a situation, the hopes of the fans and Team India are now resting on Pant.

Hardly any Indian fans could have forgotten that spell of the year 2014. When Ishant forced the British to kneel in the second innings and took 7 wickets in his name. The years have changed and the captain too, but the ground is the same and Ishant has a big responsibility to repeat history once again on the last day of the Test. In the first innings, Ishant was seen in superb rhythm and he took three wickets in his name. Ishant has always loved the Lord’s ground and the records also point in his favour. In such a situation, if the English batting order led by Joe Root is to be demolished, then it will be very important for Ishant to be in rhythm.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
