IND vs ENG: 3 biggest reasons for England's defeat, this decision of captain Ben Stokes drowned Lootia

England Loss Reasons Edgbaston Test: India defeated England by a margin of 336 runs in the Birmingham Test. This is the first time in the history of Test cricket that England has lost against India at Edgbaston. In the fourth innings, the English team had to score 608 runs to win, but in response, England's entire team was reduced to just 271 runs and lost the match by 336 runs. Here are the 3 biggest reasons for England's defeat

1. Won the toss and elected to bowl

2. England could not understand Akashdeep

When India rested Jasprit Bumrah for the second Test, the team management was heavily criticised for calling the decision completely wrong. In his place, Akashdeep was brought in the playing eleven. Who would have thought that Akashdeep would prove to be like an 'out of syllabus question' for England. Akashdeep took 4 wickets in the first innings and 10 wickets in the second innings. Contrary to everyone's expectations, Akashdeep proved to be the most lethal bowler of this match

England got the target of 608 runs in the fourth innings. If there is such a big target in front, then the batsmen should have played hard, but the English batsmen were haunted by the ghost of 'badgeball'. Ben Duckett was dismissed in the process of playing fast. Although Ollie Pope scored 24 runs in a steady fashion, Harry Brook, who scored a century in the first innings, was also in the process of scoring fast runs, but was out LBW against Akashdeep. The result of this was that in the second innings, half of England's team returned to the pavilion to the score of 80, after which they could not recover
