1- Sarfaraz Khan proved Rohit Sharma wrong

Zak Crawley was out off the bowling of Kuldeep Yadav in the 27th over of England’s batting but captain Rohit Sharma did not take the review which proved to be very wrong for him. Not only this, Sarfaraz Khan had appealed to the Indian captain that he should take a review because the ball had hit the bat.
However, Rohit Sharma did not take the review after talking to Dhruv Jurel. But when seen in the replays, Rohit Sharma was unhappy with his decision and Sarfaraz Khan was also seen laughing. Kuldeep Yadav was also quite surprised to see this thing.
2- Zak Crawley had no answer to Kuldeep Yadav’s excellent ball.

The biggest learning for Team India after the Hyderabad loss was that our quality bowlers don’t need big turners. The turning track helped the relatively inexperienced English spinners more. What has done the trick for us are slower batting pitches. #INDvsENG

Outstanding performance by Kuldeep Yadav & Ravichandran Ashwin in the first innings against England! 🌟 Kuldeep’s 5-wicket haul and Ashwin’s 4 wickets were a masterclass in spin bowling. Well done to both! #INDvsENG
