#3 Lessons learned from the first Test
India played a solitary practice game ahead of the first Test and most of the Indian batsmen looked completely out of touch. However, after having played on a tough batting wicket, Indian batsmen will be better equipped to play in English conditions. Also, India might make better choices when it comes to team selection.
Pujara, who is currently sixth in ICC's Test batsmen ranking, was mysteriously dropped from the side and only one spinner was included in the playing XI when England's batsmen were clearly rattled by spin bowling. All these errors might be rectified in the second Test which might give India a better chance of winning.
