Ahead of India's second Test against England, former India Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane said it will be "great" if all-rounder Shardul Thakur opens the bowling with pacer Jasprit Bumrah. "Siraj can come in as one change," he advised. Rahane added, "I would like to see Shardul bowling more overs. Give him that freedom, and he will get you more wickets."
