Ahead of the second Test match against England, former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri has urged the visitors to stay positive as they look to level the series in Birmingham.

"The most important thing for India is to throw the counter punch almost immediately," Shastri told The ICC Review.

Further, he stated that despite dominating the first match, India suffered a loss, and it will need a lot of character to bounce back in the ongoing series.
