#4 Removing tailenders quickly

India's history with the opposition tailenders is not a new story and has been one of the most concerned areas for almost two-three decades.

On numerous occasions, the Indian team has slipped out the chance of winning a Test match even after dismissing the top order early in the innings.

One of the primary reasons why India lost the series is the inability to dismiss tailenders quickly.

Even though the series scoreline suggests 3-1 but the Indian team has been equally dominating. England won the first and fourth Test due to vital contributions from the lower batting order.

Sam Curran who batted at No. 8 or 9 position is a third highest scorer in the series which reflects India's weakness to remove the batting tail. India needs to sort out this long term issue as they cannot afford to lose the close Test matches in overseas conditions.
