Dinesh Karthik Calls England's Bowling Lineup Vulnerable 

Dinesh Karthik ahead of the series in England was in a conversation with Sky Sports. During the conversation Dinesh Karthik opened up on England's bowling line up and called it vulnerable. He also stated that England's bowling line up is a work in progress which could play in India's favor. 

"Luckily for Shubman Gill, I think the England bowling attack is a very vulnerable attack. That is the only positive I see. They are going to be put under pressure with the bat. England batting will definitely put the Indian team under pressure. But the bowling is an area that is still a work in progress for England and that could very well play into India's hands," said Dinesh Karthik during the talk.
