But India breathed a sigh of relief as they won the second match and leveled the series at 1-1. The 3rd Test that followed saw India stumble at the loss of 33 for 3, after which a steady Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja both scored centuries to take the Indian team to a good total.

In this case, former players who expressed hope that the England team will win the Test series again on Indian soil, have now presented criticism.

Michael Vaughan:

Speaking to the Telegraph, former England captain Michael Vaughan said, “My eyes could not believe this defeat of England. It was the heaviest defeat England had suffered under the leadership of Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes. Indian players have clearly shown their game and registered victory. But the England players did not have any clarity on where to play aggressively, and lost the wicket by hitting all the balls.

You have to know what your moment is and that’s Test cricket. The Indian team scored 875 runs in 228.5 overs, but no one who watched could say that it was a struggle or that it was not enjoyable to watch. So the England team should understand where to play and where to score. This is England’s last chance to wake up fast.” Vaughan said.

Nasser Hussain:

Speaking to Sky Sports, former England captain Nasser Hussain said, “Baseball is not just a game of hitting, it also involves how to handle pressure. England should look to Subman Gill and Yashaswi Jaiswal’s performance on day three as a prime example of that. Both of them handled the pressure in the first 30 to 40 balls and only then came back into action.

A player like Joe Root needs to understand the match situation and play. Ashwin is out, Jadeja is recovering from injury, Bumrah is playing in 3rd match in a row, England should not have gone for such a shot when so many circumstances were in their favour. Should have taken Bumrah deep and bowled after thatHe said.

Alastair Cook:

Speaking to Sky Cricket, former England opener Alastair Cook said, “England team is doing well in their way to save Test cricket through baseball cricket. But more attention should be paid to how to make it more qualitative. We lost the Test series in New Zealand, Ashash also lost the Test series, if this continues we will lose the series in India too.Cook warned.

However, these three ex-players are confident that England will bounce back in the remaining two matches and win the series!
