This test match could have gone either way. India needed 84 runs to win today and England needed 5 wickets, but In a match that saw many comebacks and collapses, India needed it’s only Batsman that looked Capable of playing the moving ball- Virat Kohli to take it to the end. But it did not happen as Kohli was struck in front of the wicket after a valiant 50, India looked all set to lose from then. England Won by 31 runs in the end. Take a look at the score card
Hardik Pandya tried to do the job with some lusty blows but is guilty of exposing the tail-ender to the top quality English bowling in the earlier part of the innings. Kohli was really protective of the batsman at the other end in the partnership he stitched with the tail-enders in the first innings.
It is no surprise if this Indian team reminded you of the team from the mid-90s when Sachin was the only player capable of playing the moving ball when India toured abroad.
