Team India will fly to England next month for the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand in Southampton, from June 18. Meanwhile, the players are currently in Mumbai and undergoing the mandatory quarantine period as well. However, players can be seen often sharing pictures on social media and the speedster Jasprit Bumrah is no different.
He took to Instagram and shared a super cool photo of himself, with the caption, “Reset mode on” on Saturday. While it became viral in no time and received a lot of love from his fans, his teammate Axar Patel responded in a way that took the limelight away from others.
The all-rounder commented, “Sahi hai”.

To which Jasprit Bumrah Responded, “Ye Bhi Thik Hai”, which is a famous dialogue from the web series Mirzapur 2 as well.
However, Team India have been in good form in the longer format as they beat Australia last year and then England at home as well. On the other hand, they last faced New Zealand in an ICC event was during the 2019 Cricket World Cup semi-final where Kane Williamson led the side beat India as well.

Meanwhile, India faced a 2-0 loss to New Zealand last year when the Virat Kohli-led side had lost both the Test matches and ended the tour on a losing note as well. Moreover, New Zealand will take on England in a two-match Test series prior to the much-awaited summit clash.
As far as India is concerned, they will play five Tests against England after the WTC final. On the other hand, the rest of the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will take place in UAE during the September-October window. The decision was taken by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in its Special General Meeting today.
In a recent statement on Saturday, BCCI general secretary Jay Shah has shared that due to the monsoon season in India in the months of September-October, the board has decided to select UAE as the venue to resume the cash-rich league.
