'Succumbed To Pressure': Ex-England Star's Brutal Verdict On Ben Stokes And Co

It was not plain capitulation. Rather, England succumbed to the pressure of standing up to a world-class band of Indian spinners at the "absolute top of their game", feels former spinner Graeme Swann. Batting first after winning a good toss, England were bowled out for 218 on a flat deck on the opening day of the fifth and final Test against India. Doing the bulk of the damage was the spin of Kuldeep Yadav (5/72) and Ravichandran Ashwin (4/51). Asked what could have led to England's downfall, Swann told PTI Videos, "Well you got to look at like I say you have got world-class spinners at the absolute top of their game.

Watch: Rohit Sharma Proven Wrong After Ignoring Sarfaraz Khan's DRS Call, Reaction Says It All

Rohit Sharma made a DRS error during England's first innings vs India in the Dharamsala Test. On the fifth ball of the 26th over, England opener Zak Crawley missed a glance shot on the bowling of India spinner Kuldeep Yadav. The ball hit wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel and lobbed towards the leg side where Sarfaraz Khan showed good reflexes to grab it before it could fall on the ground.

However, Jurel thought otherwise and that saw Rohit turning down the request for Sarfaraz for a DRS.

"I Have 35 Balls": Kuldeep Yadav Reveals How R Ashwin Settled 1st Innings Dilemma

A regular place in the playing eleven during the ongoing series has done wonders to Kuldeep Yadav's confidence and the left-arm wrist spinner believes that he has got more sharper with better game awareness due to consistent opportunities. Having made his debut at this very venue in 2017, Kuldeep in past seven years have only made 12 Test appearances, with four of them on trot in the current series against England. On the opening day of the fifth Test against England, Kuldeep set the ball rolling with five top-order wickets. "If you play regularly, you get more confident about your bowling. Game awareness also comes with it. It is very important to keep playing regularly as it makes your bowling sharp," said the 29-year-old, who now has 17 wickets in the series with hopefully one more innings to increase his tally.
