#3 Sharpening the slip catching
India’s slip catching at Trent Bridge was excellent and Rahul was simply terrific. This was one aspect of the game where India outplayed England from the beginning of the series, not because the Indians were better, but because the Englishmen were worse. The Indians should improve a lot on this aspect of the game to stay alive in the series.
The Indians should continue to hold on to their catches if they have any genuine aspiration to level the series at Ageas bowl. The slip cordon should be manned by Pujara, Rahul, Kohli and Rahane. Dhawan should once again be banished to the outfield.
