Green tinge, slope and the Lord’s: India batters set for their ‘first’ England challenge

Ahead of India’s Lord’s Test, the pitch is expected to favor bowlers, especially in the initial sessions, with more life than previous matches. Batting coach Sitanshu Kotak noted the green tinge and potential for low first-innings scores. The iconic Lord’s slope presents a unique challenge, requiring batsmen to adjust their technique to counter the ball’s movement.
