Veteran fast bowler Stuart Broad is keeping a close eye on the India vs England fourth Test. The former England right-arm fast bowler has also been taking it to social media to give his opinion about the game and about both the teams. On Saturday, the Indian top and middle order, barring Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel, faltered against the England spinners. Shoaib Bashir took four wickets while Tom Hartley took two wickets. Commenting on India’s batting, Broad asked whether the international career of out-of-favour Test batsman Cheteshwar Pujara is over. He suggested that India could have included the veteran in the squad as it would have given them “some stability” in the absence of star batsman Virat Kohli.

Broad wrote, “With Kohli lacking experience and world-class talent, will there be a temptation to bring Pujara back into India’s batting line-up? Or is his international career over? It seems he needs some consistency and an anchor.” Could have brought.” On X, formerly on Twitter.

It is worth noting that Virat Kohli is not available for the entire five-match Test series as he is spending some family time. Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma were blessed with a child on 15 February this year.
