England's batsmen are not able to play well on the Indian pitch. This is one of the reasons for England's defeat. England lost the T20 series by a margin of 4-1. And in almost every match we have seen England's batsmen batting erratically. And the same thing happened again in today's ODI match. England team gave a target of only 249 runs. But the pitch was batting friendly. England should have given a target of 320+ in this match.England lost the first match of the three-match ODI series. However, England still has a chance to win the series. But for this, the performance of the batsmen definitely needs to improve. If Bath bats well even on a batting friendly pitch, it is impossible to win against a strong team like India.

Yep that's absolutely right india has finally adopted their typical behavior like Australians to beat each and every tough opponent back at their own home ground. England has already lost some of their important games in their recent T20 series and now even still they continue that defeat run in the ODI series too. It's completely friendly batting track, and some of their main Indian bowlers were not part of the squad, but still they were able to secure victory against England despite them scoring a fair target and also being able to successfully depart the Indian top order at a very early stage of the match. But the home ground gives them advantage to backed by their rest of the lineup, which results in victory in their favor, and it's for for me the game-changing innings has been played by Iyer and Gill in critical moments.
