While Sanjay Manjrekar had shared a piece of advice for the young batter, it was former India cricketer Ravi Shastri also warned him of his performance. Speaking during the Day 1 of the ongoing second Test against England, Shastri said, “It’s a fresh side, young side. These youngsters have to prove themselves. Don’t forget, Pujara is waiting. He is grinding it out at the Ranji Trophy and is always in the radar."
“It’s a Test match; you’ve got to stay out there. Otherwise you’ll get into all sorts of problems. You’re going with those hard hands, reaching out at the ball. Especially with someone of Anderson’s class,” Shastri further added.
Speaking of the match, India put up 336/6 in 93 overs at Stumps on Day 1 of the second Test with Yashasvi Jaiswal (179) and Ravichandran Ashwin (5) batting in the middle.
