Team India defeated England by a huge margin of 4-1 in a recently concluded series between the two sides. Even after losing the first match of the series, India fought brilliantly throughout the series and emerged victorious.
Here are some of the biggest positives that Team India got from the series.
- Yashasvi Jaiswal’s assurance at the top: One of the biggest positives for Team India was Yashasvi Jaiswal. The swashbuckling left-handed opener emerged as the highest run-getter of the series. Jaiswal amassed 719 runs in 10 innings at an astonishing average of 89.00. Jaiswal continued to attack the England bowlers throughout and even went on to score double hundreds.
This shows that Jaiswal has all the gears from top to bottom. - Resurgence of Kuldeep Yadav in Test Cricket: Team India’s biggest match winner in white ball format He showed his class throughout the series with the ball in hand. The crafty magician bamboozled even the best of the batters with his deliveries. Kuldeep Yadav had a phenomenal series, with the ball picking up 19 wickets in four matches, making India’s spin attack more lethal and potent.
- Shubman Gill’s form in test matches: Another biggest positive for Team India was that Team India’s Prince Showman Shubman was back among the runs. Gill was the second-highest scorer in the series, scoring 452 runs at an average of 56.50. Another important factor that was seen in Gill’s batting was the use of feet against the spinners and the urgency to look for runs even against pacers playing at the merit of the ball.
- Sarfraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel assurance in the middle order: In the absence of Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara,it was a challenging task for Team India’s middle order going into the series. However, youngsters like Jurel and Sarfraz Khan grabbed the opportunities with both hands to keep them in contention whenever Team India plays the next series, even after players like Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant are available for selection.
