England vs India 2018: Watch - KL Rahul Takes a Stunner to Dismiss Joe Root

The Indian slip catching has been a matter of concern in the last year or so. However, India made a huge improvement in the slip catching department during the 4^th day of the 3^rd Test against England in Nottingham today. KL Rahul in particular who took 3 catches in the 1^st innings continued his good time in the slip cordon.

Just as England started building a partnership of sorts, it was Jasprit Bumrah who induced an edge from the blade of Joe Root. KL Rahul who was in the 2^nd slip moved quite brilliantly and took the catch to further put England under trouble. He celebrated in an animated manner. It was indeed a special take from the young sensation.

Captain Virat Kohli added another stunner in the very next delivery of the bowling of Mohammed Shami. He flew to his left and completed a stunning catch. It was a great take and it would definitely help India going into the next couple of Tests. India is currently in a position of strength courtesy of their brilliant all-round performance.

For the first time in the series, the Indian batters have put their hands up and have batted better than their counterparts. Hence they find themselves in a completely commanding position to make the scoreline 2-1. After batting first India posted a good total of 329 runs. It was largely possible due to a sensational 159 runs partnership between Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane.

While the Indian skipper fell just 3 runs short of a well deserved century, Rahane was dismissed on 81 runs. It has turned out to be the most crucial partnership of the match. The bowlers were quite spectacular. Hardik Pandya produced a magical spell of swing bowling and returned with figures of 5/28. More importantly, India bowled out England for a paltry score of just 161 runs in the 39^th over. When the articles was written England were batting on 150/4 with Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes at the crease.
