England were better able to handle the spin of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal in the second match. But the Indian spinners have consistently been a threat all tour, quickly bouncing back from off days. They have also struggled due to the inexperience in the seaming department. However, the return of Bhuvneshwar Kumar from injury will solve Virat Kohli’s woes.

Meanwhile, the England team is especially focussed to win this series as reiterated by their skipper Eoin Morgan. He admitted that win this series is much more important than just retaining the top-sport in the rankings.
