#6 Grab the crunch moments and deliver the knock out punch
Throughout the entire series, the Indians have had their moments but they failed to capitalize on that. Some of those crunch moments were-
# When England were 87 for 7 in the second innings of the first Test,
# When England were 89 for 4 in the first innings of the second Test,
# When England were 86 for 6 in the first innings of the fourth Test,
# When India were 142 for 2 in the first innings of the fourth Test
On all those occasions, India failed to deliver the knockout punch and allowed England to crawl back into the game.
With the gulf between the two teams too narrow, in the fifth Test too the Indians would certainly come across such crunch moments. India should be prepared to seize such opportunities and deliver the knockout punch.
