India can play the verbal game, we’ll play our way – Joe Root

England captain Joe Root made it clear that his team was desperate to return. And that there would be no change in his team’s approach. “Virat’s team will play as they play. We have to be the best version of ourselves. We will play our way,” he told reporters on Monday.

The Quarrels With The Other Players Including The Indian captain-

In the second test match played at Lord’s, Team India won by 151 runs. In which the team has performed quite differently in the five-match series against England. During this, there was a lot of quarrel between the other players including the Indian captain.

“We can’t get into too much distraction or anything. We have to be real, as good as we can be individually and collectively,” Rutt said.

Root wants to be remembered as an advertisement for the “greatest format of the game” Lord’s Test, not as an unpleasant conversation caught by the stump mic.

Root- Circumstances Don’t Matter

He admitted that circumstances don’t matter when it comes to anger. “When you’re in the middle, it can get a little hot and it doesn’t matter whether you’re home or away. Sometimes you have to manage the route of the game well. We have to make sure that How we go about our cricket We want to do it in the best possible way.

“One thing I would say, it was a great Test match playing every round. As England players and captains, we didn’t have a result from our side, but it was a great Test match with ups and downs. What it was, and the coming and going of five-day cricket.”

Mark Wood due to shoulder pain-

All players are fit and available for selection except Mark Wood due to shoulder pain. “Hopefully we will be fine tomorrow and we will be able to choose according to the circumstances,” Root said.

The second Test was played in an intense atmosphere in which players from both teams did not shy away from sledding continuously.

With India leading the series 1-0, more aggression is expected from Virat Kohli’s side, but Root said his team has learned lessons from the previous game and will not engage in talks unnecessarily.

Don’t Get Too Distracted Or Attracted To Anything-

“Theatre and everything else around the game is there. We have to make sure we play the game the way we want to play and we take care as best as we can,” Root said in the virtual pre-match. Don’t get too distracted or attracted to anything.” Media Interaction.

“We have to be real to ourselves, how we are as individuals and how we are collectively and be as good as we can be, whichever way we go. Virat’s team will play the way they play, I’m just That’s what I want us to go out with and be the best version of ourselves.

Root has already admitted to a tactical blunder that cost his team the Lord’s Test. His feelings got the better of him too.
