3 biggest positives from the England tour 

From poor team selections to batting collapses, India had a forgettable tour of England, to say the least. 4-1 might not be a fair reflection of events but there is no hiding from the fact that India made some major errors on crucial moments. Virat Kohli's men were outclassed by a very dynamic English team which always had a saviour in the face of adversity. Be it Sam Curran or Jos Buttler, someone was always there to get them out of trouble. India on the other hand always failed to capitalize after being in really good positions. Yet there are some real positives which can be taken to the next overseas tour (Australia).

#VIRAT KOHLI: A batsman for every situation

Virat Kohli took batting to another level in this series, scoring runs for fun. This series without a doubt has been dominated by bowlers from both sides, but this man stood out. A visiting batsman has never looked this comfortable in English conditions for quite some time. The fact that there is a gap of almost 250 runs between him & the next best batsman says it all. While other Indian batsmen were struggling to put the bat on the ball, he made batting look easy. Anderson troubled him the most back in 2014 but he came back this time & showed everyone why he is considered a modern-day great. If other Indian batsmen can support him a little more, no result is impossible for this Indian team.

#FAST BOWLERS

Finally, India can boast about its fast bowlers

Many Indian fans would have felt like a dream come true, seeing three quality fast bowlers tormenting the opposition top order. India before this series never really had the bowling to pick 20 wickets overseas, but their wish has finally come true. Ishant, Shami & Bumrah all can bowl over 140 km/hr & can make the bowl move off the deck considerably. They managed 20 wickets in almost every test, which made the series look highly competitive. This is a big plus when India tour down under later this year.

#Slip catching

KL Rahul took the highest number of catches in the series

India, after a lot of chopping & changing, finally have a decent slip cordon. They were far better than their opponents at holding on to their catches right through the series. In K L Rahul India has an outstanding slip catcher who can convert those vital half chances into important wickets. Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara & Ajinkya Rahane complete a very safe slip cordon.
