This is a series between two contrasting teams. ENG have experienced batting and inexperienced bowling (especially spin). IND have inexperienced batting and experienced, high quality bowling. Their batting order has played 57, 7, 23, 2, 70, 1 and 1 Test caps, from Rohit Sharma to Dhruv Jurel. In Test cricket, the second team is vastly superior to the first, especially when both teams have an equally mature first class system. The IND batting has been under-powered all series. But they’ve put up enough runs to win the 2nd and 3rd Tests comfortably, and if it hadn’t been for Ollie Pope’s once in a lifetime innings in Hyderabad, would have won the series today.
Interesting as always! Regarding the parameter of % of runs scored without hitting boundaries - it’ll be good to see these numbers for IND, if possible please. From other stats that you have shared, ENG are bowling more number of over and under pitched deliveries than IND. I assume this would be lead IND scoring lesser % of runs without hitting boundaries. Also, will it make sense or make it over complicated if we consider the control % for boundary shots (if at all such measurement is available)? I mean, if the control % higher, does this make boundary hitting less riskier?
india has significantly prevented non boundary runs from 2nd test is great observation.
