England vs India, 2018: 5 reasons why India won the 3rd Test

#3 Improved catching

One of the reasons for India's loss in the first Test was their poor fielding. There were mutliple drop catches, including the drop catch of Sam Curran in the second innings, which proved to be the difference between the two sides in the end.

However, the fielders performed a lot better this time out and held on to everything thrown at them. Rishabh Pant, who made his debut in the match, was spectacular behind the stumps, taking five catches in the first innings and in the second.

Kohli and Rahul were brilliant in the slips as well, with the former taking a brilliant catch in the second innings to dismiss Pope. On the other hand, the English fielders were not up to the mark.
