England vs India, 2018: 3 major takeaways for India from the Third Test at Trent Bridge

#2 Hardik Pandya delivers with the ball

Hardik Pandya's spell of 5-28 in the first innings was indeed the turning point of the game, which went in India's favour.

The all-rounder, who faced a lot of criticism for not fulfilling his role with the ball in the first two Tests, wreaked havoc in the opposition camp as he sliced through their batting line-up and his maiden fifer in his spell of six overs in second innings.

Pandya had been India's second best batsman in the series in terms of runs till the third Test, but at Trent Bridge, he delivered with a career-best bowling performance when the team was staring down a series defeat.

He even registered a quick-fire half-century later in the Test to complete a near-perfect Test for him on an individual level.
