Former Indian skipper Ajit Wadekar, who led India in the famous series wins against England and West Indies in the 1970s, has breathed his last at the age of 77 at Mumbai’s Jaslok Hospital on Wednesday. Wadekar was suffering from prolonged illness and was admitted in the hospital for quite sometime.

Jos Buttler believes that the return of Ben Stokes has put the English selectors and the captain on the spot ahead, due to Chris Woakes' performance at Lord's, of the third Test of the five-match series against India. He also stated that he is looking forward to seeing Stokes back with the team.

Nasser Hussain has issued a warning that India need to take necessary steps to lift themselves up from their current misery wherein they have lost two successive Test matches against England. He has also stated that England will be keen to give back in order to avenge the 4-0 whitewash of 2016.

India’s no.1 spot in Test rankings shall not be threatened even if they are subjected to a 5-0 whitewash by England in the ongoing Test series, which looks like a possibility now. The only impact of the whitewash shall be that England shall jump from rank no.5 to rank no.2 in the Test rankings.
