England vs India 2018: Best and Worst of India tour of England

#1 Worst: India's inability to wrap up the tail

England v India: Specsavers 5th Test - Day Four

Sam Curran, a 20-year-old pace bowling all-rounder finished the series as England’s 4th highest run scorer ahead of Jonny Bairstow, Keaton Jennings and other English batsmen. Chris Woakes registered his first ever Test century on a pitch where no Indian batsman could cross the 35-run mark. In the fifth Test, England scored a huge 332 after losing 7 wickets for 181.

These three instances point towards one common thing and that is Indian bowlers’ inability to dismiss the tail-enders. The only Test match in which India wrapped up the lower order was the 3rd Test and India won that match. Thus, the English lower order is one of the chief reasons India lost this series 4-1.
