IND vs ENG: Chopra points out where India lost control

Speaking on his YouTube video, Chopra claimed that India played with a wrong assumption as they began the run-chase. He said that India did not anticipate 230 runs to be a huge run-chase and this was evident in Rohit Sharma’s responses in the press conference.

Chopra noted that India led Ollie Pope and Rehan Ahmad run away with singles in the 1st session of the day’s play. The ex-India star revealed that, the commentators including himself, thought that anything above 200 would be a tough target to chase. He further questioned the impact of Indian spinners compared to England’s.

England spun their way to victory in the IND vs ENG 1st Test as they went 1-0 up in the five-match series after winning the game by 28 runs. Tom Hartley stunned the hosts on debut, grabbing a five-wicket haul on debut.

Chasing 213 runs to get a 1-0 lead in the five-match series, the hosts suffered a serious setback, with their top-order collapsing like a pack of cards. Hartley finished with figures of 7-62, with the last wicket coming in the last over of the day,.
