England vs India 2018, Fifth Test: Hits and Misses

#3 Miss: Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar Dhawan

The southpaw's failure in both innings of the game put immense pressure onto the Indian unit. With scores of 3 and 1 in the first and second innings respectively, Dhawan has now clouded his chances to be selected among the playing XI on their upcoming Test series against the Kangaroos which would commence in November end.

Had he played with an attitude and mindset similar to the one he portrayed in the third Test at Nottingham then India could have given a tough fight to Englishmen in the final contest. If not a victory, but a draw would have been possible for Kohli's men.

#4 Hit: Ravindra Jadeja

If only Ravindra Jadeja was among the playing XI in the previous Tests, then India would have created history over the English soil, something they had been eyeing for the last four years since their defeat in 2014 series.

With 4-wicket haul in the first innings, followed by a knock of 86* in the second innings he concreted his position in the Indian unit for the tours that would be happening down under. His sword show was nothing short of an entertainment for the visitors, who had turned up in massive numbers to witness the riveting contest.
