Perhaps that”s the delivery which turned the match in the favour of England. The much-needed breakthrough for the side was provided by Rashid when he dismissed KL Rahul for an unplayable delivery that knocked his stumps down.
A brave knock of 149 came to an end when Rashid spun the web. In fact, the ball turned far from leg stump and made sure to kiss the off stump when Rahul went clueless.
This particular delivery from Rashid reminded us of Shane Warne”s ball of the century. It is to be noted that Mike Gatting was dismissed in a similar manner in Ashes 1993.
Prior to test series, many English fans were awestruck by the controversial inclusion of Adil Rashid who already called his day in whites. However, he proved his worth as he managed to pick a few scalps and some runs in the lower order.
Rashid denied 150 to Kohli and Rahul in this series. It is worth mentioning that the very bowler dismissed the latter during his marathon knock of 199 at Chennai. Who knows maybe Rahul will try to break the jinx of at all both of them meet in World Cup 2019.
The domination
England won the series by a 4-1 margin and India registered their 11th loss in these conditions in the last 8 years. The side has a lot of homework to do before the Australian series in November.
The match also marked a fitting farewell to their legend Alastair Cook who even won the Man of the Match in his last. James Anderson”s further turned the event fruitful as the side spent a night of their life yesterday
