										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Indian team had a great outing in the opening Test of the ongoing five-match Test series against England. While rain played spoilsport and the game ended in a draw, the Indian team holds the edge going into the second Test at Lord&#8217;s. And all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja believes the team has the balance to win the series this time.</p>
<p>Speaking to ANI, Jadeja not only threw light on the current team wearing a balanced look, but also revealed how his idea to approach every situation positively before a game has helped him succeed at the top level. The all-rounder also spoke about how skipper Virat Kohli&#8217;s mindset has helped create a positive environment in the team.</p>
<p>Yes, as we have been in the UK since the last two months, it&#8217;s been a good preparation time for us. Especially in the English condition, people get ready and prepared for the Test series. So, we had enough time before this series.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think the last time we played, we were a bit unlucky (2018). But, we have a very good balanced team, and an all-rounder team. We have good fast-bowlers, spinners and good batsmen. Plus, everyone is young in the team, so I think we have a good chance this time to win this series in England,&#8221; he said.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">England star cricketer Moeen Ali has been in the news ever since a controversial tweet by Bangladesh writer Taslima Nasreen.  Meanwhile, his father Munir Ali has made a big disclosure about Moeen.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><br> Moeen&#8217;s father Munir Ali has revealed that Moeen Ali was deliberately tried to crush a car in his childhood.  He told ESPN Cricinfo, &#8216;He was about 13 years old at the time and was coming home from school.  Then a car came quickly towards Moeen and missed it and slipped.  The driver was probably an Asian man.  Moeen told us that he had never seen the man before nor seen him after.  He opened the window and, while abusing, brought the car in reverse and hit Moeen hard with the car.  Moeen collapsed and the car crashed into the side of the pavement.  The collision was so fast the car overturned. &#8216;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Australia has suffered a major setback before the fourth Test.  The team&#8217;s star player Will Pukowski is injured.  After this, his playing in the fourth Test against India starting on 15 January is considered to be doubtful.  In fact, he suffered an injury to his right shoulder during the Sydney Test when he tried to stop the ball from falling in the 86th over of the Indian innings.<br>    He was hurt that he sat for a while holding his shoulder.  Eventually he left the field.  He is then taken to the hospital for a scan.  According to Australian media, &#8220;There is no official update yet about Pukowski&#8217;s fitness&#8221;.<br>     Pukowski, who made his Test debut against India, scored 62 runs in the first innings but was dismissed for just ten runs in the second innings.  Last month too, he succumbed to concussion (head injury) during a practice match.  Let us know that the last Test of the Border-Gavaskar Test Series between India and Australia is to be played at BABBEN&#8217;s Gaba from 15 January.  The four-match series is currently 1–1.</p>
