Considering the way India approach 4th Test match, it seems they were pretty timid with the bat and scored runs against England at Below par rate it should have been done as an accelerating mode.
When England came out to bat they showcased all Intent and approach on how you need to approach innings on this pitch taking 300 runs lead in 1st innings indicate a lot about how well they have batted against England especially Joe Root who scored yet another hundred and chasing Sachin Tendulkar’s 51st Hundred record considering his age and consistency it seems that he would achieve that easily.
On the other Ben Stokes who didn’t contributed much with the bat throughout the tournament have also scored Hundred against India.
Overall India’s bowling tactics have been pretty poor.
Considering 300+ runs lead when they came out to bat in 2nd innings it seems that he doesn’t have answer when it comes to facing English bowlers as they have lost early wickets in the form of Jaiswal and Sai who were bundled out at 0 runs.
India tried to show some heart in the middle but considering overall test match how things have progressed it seems they have not been able to tick several boxes which they should have taken into consideration failing to do that would mean they have already lost the series with one more match left to go where they need to come on as one unit and try winning that match so that fate of this test match should be tilted atleast towards them.
