8 mistakes by Team India and the management that led to their downfall against England

#5 - Hardik Pandya playing ahead of Jadeja at Southampton

Hardik Pandya should have contributed more with the bat

Hardik did a commendable job with the limited opportunities he had with the ball, but his batting failed to bail India out of troubled waters. If Pandya had played his aggressive self, things may have been different for Team India. The management made a huge mistake by not playing Jadeja in the Southampton Test.
