When we have a peculiarity of Virat, we adjust accordingly and we design him to have a large impact on a Test series. His record here can't get worse, it can usually urge and world-class players find a approach of next in tough conditions.”

In jest, Stewart pronounced that he is propitious that he doesn’t have to buy a sheet to watch Virat bat. “As most as people will be scrutinizing his record heading into this Test series, we design him to succeed. we am propitious adequate come watch cricket and not buy a ticket. But we would gladly compensate to watch Virat bat,” he added.

Stewart is also carefree that India will perform improved this time as likes of Cheteshwar Pujara, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ishant Sharma have all played county in a past dual seasons, that will keep them in good stead. “The likes of Pujara, Ashwin and Ishant have played in England before yet to play some-more recently in a county circuit, in credentials for a Test series, it can usually get improved for India.

The some-more we get used to conditions and opposite personification environments, a improved it is going to be as an general cricketer. So, it will really assistance India that critical members of their Test side have played here,” Stewart said.
