The five ways India can lose at Rajkot

#4 Failure of batsmen

Kohli and Rahane have been in stellar form lately

While India enjoyed batting against the Kiwis, that has always not been the case in recent times in Tests. The batsmen, apart from Kohli and Rahane, have failed to get going after good starts and this has led to average totals.

The spinners have, however, come to India's rescue with the ball when the batsmen do not get going. If they do not click against England, they have the bowlers to create trouble for Indian batsmen. India struggled against Moeen Ali in England and there is no reason why they will not struggle at home on wickets conducive to spin.

If India find themselves 3 or 4 down early, they could be in trouble as it exposes the new no.6 (Hardik Pandey or Karun Nair) and the lower order comprising of Saha also do not boast great experience in demanding situations in the international stage.
