Oval Test: Krishna’s Resurgence Stuns England
Krishna’s stunning four-wicket haul on Day 2 of the Oval Test turned the tide dramatically against England. The Indian pace attack, spearheaded by Krishna and Siraj, orchestrated a stunning collapse, reducing England from a comfortable 142/2 to a precarious 215/7.
This impressive performance marks a remarkable turnaround for Krishna. He endured a difficult start to the series, managing only six wickets and conceding 331 runs in the first two Tests. This poor form led to his omission from the Lord’s and Manchester matches.
During his absence, Krishna worked on his game. The team’s earlier strategy of employing short-pitched deliveries proved unsuccessful, a tactical shift that clearly didn’t suit his style.
His return to form is a significant boost for India’s chances of victory at The Oval. The match’s outcome will have a direct bearing on the overall series result, underscoring the importance of Krishna’s resurgence. This win could also significantly impact India’s future Test strategies and player selection.
