He passed away in London, while the Indian team was in Leeds for the first Test against England. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has also expressed profound grief and sorrow at the demise of former India cricketer and left-arm spinner, Mr. Dilip Doshi.
Coming back to the match, England still need about 350 runs to win. Although chasing such a big target on the final day of a Test is usually very difficult, England’s recent form in Test cricket suggests that it could be possible. Their attacking style of play, known as 'Bazball', has made such chases looks easy. This means that Indian bowlers led by Jasprit Bumrah will have to bowl well to stop English batters.
