Even for India, it was not a team effort it was solo performances both with bat and ball. The performances with the bat were not consistent either.  In the first innings of the 2nd Test Yashaswi Jaiswal was the man in charge as he scored 209 runs in 290 balls. Shubman Gill took the charge in the second innings and scored a century to take India to a respectable total. As per the bowling, Jasprit Bumrah was consistent enough to take wickets and restrict England. Jasprit Bumrah emerged as the Player of the Match for the 2nd Test.

England has now ruled to Shoaib Bashir from the 3rd Test and Mark Wood is back in the squad. With the combination of James Anderson and Wood, England can try and take the upper hand in the game. England too was not very consistent when it came to batting, even in the bowling they lacked a lot.
