Test match is one of the most mentally, physically and psychologically demanding sport. In a span of 15 sessions, you can sometimes hardly point at a moment where one team have edged over the other.
And when a game of test is as demanding as it can become very hard on the losing side. have been more strong in this test right from the onset of day-2. They not only just made amends of asking to bat first and not capitalise on the opportunity, but they also put in a place of bother right till the first hour day-5 when they got early as planned
But then the game just slipped away from and England's grasp. and .11 demolished England's game plan. They were playing not just to build a floor on the foundation laid out by and but they took over the charge of the whole construction and built a skyscraper on it.
kohli knowing the cards he had been dealt with, showed faith on his pace unit and boy have they delivered! This was the second time in succession Indian pacers have taken 20 wickets in a test match, and the 90s OG pacers would be on the right now!
has been the pick of the player for me in this series. Everytime Kohli wanted a wicket, a little extra something from his bowlers, a bit of unsettling phase for English batsman, he went to Siraj. Siraj with just 7 test old career, finds himself at the centre of two of India's most empathetic overseas victories in recent times!
Even though it was not all raining sunshines and singing rainbows for they managed to pull off one of the greatest overseas win from almost nowhere to create history! With 3 matches to go in the series, India need to find those missing pieces of their almost perfect jigsaw puzzle to make them an unstoppable force of dominance in the remainder of the series!!
