India vs England: 3 reasons why the 2014 result could be repeated in the 2018 Test Series

2. India’s batting struggles in English Conditions

Pujara hasn't scored enough runs in the County Championship this season

When India traveled to South Africa this year their batting struggled on the green wickets. England will be aware of this fact and try and give pitches which have grass on them. Indian batsmen don’t play swing really well.

Whenever the ball swings and seams, India’s batting struggles. Cheteshwar Pujara who played County Cricket this season struggled as well. He scored 172 runs in 12 innings at a below-par average of 14.33 with the highest score of 41.

Murali Vijay too couldn’t score runs in the match against England Lions as he had scores of 8 and 0 in the two innings. KL Rahul hasn’t played in these conditions and it will take time for him to get used to. Kohli and Dhawan too had struggled last time. These Indian batsmen have to improve against the moving ball or else they might be in for a repeat of the 2014 series.
