One of the biggest positives for the Indian team in the recent times is their growth in the fast bowling department but they have not been able to match the English bowlers. So, as a result, the Indians have failed to continuously bowl disciplined spells.

All English bowlers, James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Chris Woakes and Sam Curran are giving their team all six balls in one area with similar line and length which never fails to trouble the opposition's batsmen. And it's not the case with the Indian bowlers as they bowl a loosener after two or three good deliveries which allows the batsmen to settle in and score easy runs.

This was seen in the last game as well where Chris Woakes went on to score an unbeaten century with good support from Jonny Bairstow and Sam Curran. The Indian team is continuously facing difficulties in bowling out the opposition's middle and lower-middle order batsmen.
