Cricket is a great leveller they say very well say and it could be a very cruel game sometime I am talking about the blockbuster series of India Vs England.There was complete domination in 1st 2 test matches from India we can say but things have changed completely in this match.
Let's talk about in details
1st of all India won the toss and elected to bat 1st which was horrible decision, England was having new balling attack we can say that Jimmy Anderson was the leader and he showed his all skills in his favourite overcast conditions.India gave them their comfort zone by giving them bowling in overcast conditions and bit of moisture in the pitch also and that was enough for English bowlers.
Yes there were pretty same conditions in the last match also but Indian openers were just awesome in leaving the ball but this time was opposite case.Their openers have been good in this series as compare to their middle order but this their middle order exposed early in tough conditions and they can't bail out their side.2nd time in last one year they bundled out below 100 1st against Australia in Adelaide where they were humiliated by Aussies bowlers and now against English attack.That was just lapse in concentration and they were little bit over confident and were playing with ego you can say whatever else.Because they have got out on those deliveries which left out easily but they threw their bat at them and result you can see.
I think there are 2 methods to get batsman out 1st you should know his weakness and bowl there.
2nd you should know his strength and bowl there and English bowlers doing a great job with that and we have 2 superb examples.
1st Virat Kohli the whole world knows that he is a front foot player and likes to drive the ball through the covers and English bowlers are giving him this opportunity to drive but he is falling in trap outside off stump.You can see his all dismissals everytime he is just going towards the ball in the procedure he is losing his balance and nicking the ball.You can watch him in the last tour he was playing the ball late and leaving the ball outside off stump but this time is not the case.
2nd example of Rohit Sharma we all know that he is one of the best puller and hooker and always likes to play that shot in any circumstances against any bowler and at any pitch but in this series his strength has become his weakness because 3 out of 4 he got out by playing this shot.This shows you the plans of English bowlers which are getting best in the business on their favorite shots.
India lost inform Rahul in very 1st over against evergreen Anderson after that Pujara knocked one off to Buttler of Anderson and then big fish we can say but not for Anderson he got Kohli on just 7 and that was his 50th inning without 100 and Anderson got him for 7th time he also got Sachin for 9 times so we can say that he is getting the better of India's 2 generations.
After that Rahane and Rohit have done some work but that wasn't enough and they were 67/5 but lost 4 wickets for 0 as they were 67/9.The horrible period of batting ended on just 78 runs and they were just destroyed by Anderson and Co.
That performance let the down their bowlers as well and English openers got a lot of confidence from that.1st hundred partnership since Strauss and Cook pair they have tried out 22 pairs but this one fulfilled their expections and they both Haseeb and Burns got fifties and England is 120/0 which is really a comfortable position.India will be out in field for long time and they have to answer a few questions.
