Meanwhile, Sehwag asserted that only Rishabh Pant and Cheteshwar Pujara scored runs for India among the top-six batters and the bowlers were listless in the 4th innings of the match. He also said that India need to address the issues in the team as soon as possible.
“India have quite a few issues to address. Only Pujara and Pant in the top-six are scoring runs. Jadeja batting brilliantly but we need top-order batters to be in form. Bowling in the fourth innings was absolutely listless,” Sehwag posted.
Congratulations England on your highest successful run chase.
