India vs England: More Than Kuldeep Yadav's Bowling, Rohit Sharma Is Impressed By This Aspect

With India recording a thumping win over England inside three days in the fifth and final Test, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma lauded spinner Kuldeep Yadav's performance with the bowl and bat. A five-wicket haul on his 100th Test by Ravichandran Ashwin broke the back of England's batting line-up, handing the Three Lions' 'Bazball' school of cricket a blow as India won the Test by an innings and 64 runs at Dharamshala on Saturday. Kuldeep was crowned as the 'Player of the Match' for his all-round performance as he scored 30 runs and took five wickets in England's first innings. He took two wickets in England's second innings.

"We know he (Kuldeep) has a lot of potential, can be a match-winner. He has something about him. Since his knee injury, he has come back, and he is putting a lot on the ball now. Most pleasing was his batting," Rohit said.

In the series, Kuldeep scored 97 valuable runs as a lower-order batter and took 19 wickets at an average of 20.15.

The skipper was also all praise for young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who had a breakout series with 712 runs in five games at an average of 89.00, with two double centuries and three fifties. He ended up as the leading run-getter.

"The guy has got a long way to go, and wants to take on the bowlers. With his talent and the shots, he puts bowlers under pressure. He has come a long way and will understand what he needs to do. Top series for him, likes to score big," Rohit said.

Speaking about the team's performance and the show put on by youngsters in the absence of seniors like Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Mohammed Shami, Rohit said that the players have to be nurtured.

"When you win a Test, everything has to fall into place. Lot of things we did right through the match. [Absent
