Rahul -Jadeja partnership will be the deciding factor whether India will win or not. This is the only experienced partnership in India where the longer they can stay on the wicket, the more chances India will have of winning. India are unlikely to win because, without writing a post, India's most reliable batsman KL Rahul was out lbw off Ben Stokes. Can these two batsmen, Ravindra Jadeja and Nitish Kumar Reddy/Washington Sundar, win this match? However, there is no position for a draw because it will not be possible for the next batsmen of India to draw the team by batting for 85 overs.

India could have won this game, they were so close but little bit up and downs were coming in the whole day, England bowled so well that on the 4th day they got 4 wickets already and then on the last day they tried again and again to get the Indian wickets and at the end they won by 22 runs. The last wicket of Siraj in that wicket, I think the mistake was of Muhammad Siraj that if he is looking at ball is going outside, then why is he playing it? And also that is the last wicket, while on the other hand, Ravindra Jadeja was trying to handle the game. It was just touch and go for the Indian team and hard luck in the end for them.

Yeah if Siraj wanted he could easily leave that ball and put his leg front to get leg by or at least would be not out. However, if we think in a different way, he tried to tip the ball as I am sure Jadega was instructing him not to play long shots and keep it grounded. When he tipped everybody was happy and Jadeja was looking forward but when the English players shouted, he understood something unnecessary had happened. Muhammad Siraj tip the ball and the ball was coming back towards and the stumps fell down. Indian dreams were shattered and England won the match.
