England vs India, 1st ODI: 5 Talking points from the game

#5 England bowlers rendered helpless as India tear them apart

It was one of those days at the office when nothing went as per plan for the home team. After falling to a trap by Kuldeep Yadav, bowlers were left helpless as India made a mockery of the target to achieve it with more than nine overs to spare.

With just 268 runs on the board on that kind of a wicket, it was always asking for trouble to defend it against that batting heavy Indian side.

The duo of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli made it look as a paltry total by giving away nothing to the bowlers. It was a chase that was executed with perfection. The only two wickets to fell were taken by spinners who apart from it looked no worthy to inflict any damage.

None of the seam bowlers posed any challenge to the Indian batsmen as the hosts looked down and out against a much dominating Indian side. They lacked the belief to defend the total which even reflected in their body language as the visitors coasted their way to an easy win.
