Towards the end of the series, former England captain Nasser Hussain repeatedly pointed out that India’s seamers were outperforming their visiting counterparts. Even though Alastair Cook's team possessed the more experienced and accomplished fast bowlers, they were unable to pose any considerable threat.

Despite playing only three games, Mohammed Shami picked up more wickets than any England bowler apart from Adil Rashid. Umesh Yadav roughened up the opposition batsmen with his raw pace while the likes of Ishant Sharma and Bhuvneshwar Kumar played their parts as well. The development of a pack of reliable seam bowlers should augur well for Kohli's team when they begin their next round of overseas tours.
