India head coach Ravi Shastri would like his team to take inspiration from its Lord’s Test win rather than think about the humiliating defeat at Leeds ahead of the fourth Test.
Shastri admitted that getting out for 78 on the first day became decisive in the final context of the third Test but the series is still “wide open”.
“It’s very easy, you just go back to Lord’s. Just think Lord’s, forget the last one. As simple as that. I know it’s easier said than done but we should remember your good moments as well. Such things happen in the game,” Shastri said.
Shastri spoke about how one should take the positives from the Lord’s Test where they were in a weaker position at the start of the fifth day before turning the tables.
“England was in the driver’s seat and we snatched victory.” In the last Test match, they bowled brilliantly. But this series is wide open.”
