Contributing factors for India's victory at Trent Bridge

Pandya proved his worth as an all-rounder

Pandya accounted for 6 wickets in the match

Before the Trent Bridge Test, there were talks about replacing Pandya with a genuine batsman like Karun Nair. Kohli backed Pandya as his fourth seamer option and it paid off really well.

He bowled a hostile spell of out-swing bowling in the first innings and dismissed five English batsmen in just six overs. In the second innings when India were looking to declare, he hit a quickfire 50 runs.
