Ever since the England team entered India for the five-Test series, the question was being raised again and again as to what aggressive strategy their pitches will employ here?
Then the syndrome test starts. This collectorate started after 2 days. For example…is Stoke’s scientist any good? How will England’s spinners fare in India? Have England selected the right playing-11?
After this, two more days of games were played and Ben Stokes’ team won the match by surprising Boss. What happened in two days that the situation completely changed? How what judges were calling Ben Stokes’ blunders was turned into a master stroke. This story has been covered in 4 points.
1. Selection of playing-11
England selected three specialist spinners for this test. For the first time in the history of the English team, with only one fast bowler. This decision of stroke was being criticized a lot, but by the end of the match it became clear that the other fast bowler had no use on this pitch.
For India too, one bowler took 6 wickets, but the other pacer Mohammad Siraj could not take even a single wicket in two innings. England’s only fast bowler Mark Wood himself could not take a single wicket.

Mark Wood had no success in the unit. Starc had already understood that this pitch was not the work of pacers.
2. Peak height bowling designed by Hartley
In India’s first innings, Scotland gave the new ball to young left arm spinner and opener Tom Hartley along with Mark Wood. Hartley was proving to be very good. Yashasvi Player hit fours against himself. Also the stock exchanges are being transferred from Hartley. In the first innings, he took only two wickets for 131 runs in 25 overs.
However, Hartley’s valuable first innings experience came in handy in India’s second innings. This time he became almost unplayable. This time a sign of four wickets out of the first five for India. Ultimately he got seven wickets in this innings.

3. Continuing the attack on Indian spinners
The England team was out after scoring 246 runs in the first innings. The expert said that the accident was caused by overtalking. Despite this, even in the second innings, English Bolt continued to attack the Indian spinners instead of changing his approach. The result was that India was getting wickets, but England was also successful in scoring runs quickly.
In England’s second innings, both Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravichandran Ashwin scored 125-125 runs. India’s three spinners collectively scored 341 runs in the second innings against England with 79 overs of batting and 6 wickets.

4. Practicing in Abu Dhabi, not playing practice matches
One master stroke decision of Ben Stokes was one that he took even before coming to India. The England team refused to play a practice match in India. The logic was that the Test match pitch is opposite to the pitches used in practice matches. Endings like this also happen.
England instead set up a 10-day camp in Abu Dhabi for strategy practice on pitches similar to Indian pitches. It is clear from the first test match that this strategy was successful.
