#4 Rashid finally comes to the party

Before the tour of the sub-continent, Adil Rashid was picked as the spearhead among the three spinners, including Moeen, Ansari and himself. The tour of Bangladesh was a poor one for England and even worse one for Rashid.

Moeen Ali seemed to have taken over the crew of spinners, first in Bangladesh, with a brilliant fifer and then looked the best of England's spinners in the first Test at Rajkot. Rashid was loose and short and never looked threatening.

However, in Vizag, in the second innings, Rashid finally came to the party in a great session for England. He stuck to tight lines and gave the ball more revolutions, finding the right amount of turn and flight to trouble Indian batsmen. He finished with four wickets in the innings.
