The team selection has proved to be a major factor in the series loss.

Kohli's captaincy has come under a lot of scrutinies especially after the series loss against the English team.

One of the main reasons in India's the downfall is the constant changes in the playing XI which has hampered not only the team's chance of winning the match but also affected the confidence level of some of the players.

It was his 39th Test as a captain where there was no change in the playing XI in the successive Tests.

The other factor for the loss is the team selection gone entirely wrong according to the conditions.

In the Lords Test where India needed an extra seamer, they went with wrist spinner while in the last Test, an extra spinner could have more than useful they went with four-seamers.

The Indian has failed to read the conditions properly, and as a result, the selection of the team went wrong.

In the future overseas tours, team management and the captain would have to be careful with their team selection and asses the conditions well.
