Will Indian team come out stronger and better in remaining matches of this series?

[Trichromatic]

This is weakest batting line team has seen in last 10 years or so. Team is missing 4-5 key players.

 

Team fixed bowling a bit by bringing in Kuldeep. Now they need to fix the pace attack and bring in a suitable alternative of Mukesh.

 

Batting will be stronger if Kohli and KL return back, else inclusion of Sarfaraz could be good change.

[tweaker]

Sarfaraz ,Jurel,Siraj should be added to the squad in the place of Iyer,Bharat and Mukesh who are in the squad

Even if there are changes they are forced ones

This TM is stubborn, egoistic and bland

KL if he is playing should play as WK. Sarfraz also gets to play if Kohli is still not playing. I don't know why Dravid wanted Bharat as WK. What we have seen from Bharat as WK is not that great.Rahul was very decent in SA.

Jurel will replace Bharat

I think main guy is Rohit, if he rediscovers his form than we will see more one sided wins

I think Rohit will hit form some time in this series.

 

We might see more dominant wins in upcoming matches.

That is not fair, you need to give the new guy a chance , that is the problem with this TM.

 

Patidar does not look great by anymeans but fairness should be there.

England's middle order is also due some big runs. Bairstow, Root, Stokes have been quiet all series.

While I think our batting will get better from next match(assuming Bharat will be replaced), the challenges in front of bowlers will become bigger.

Mukesh will go out but I don't think Siraj will be a massive threat either. Still anything is better than Mukesh.

Kuldeep I thought will be very effective but he was a bit under par today. He is bowling slow and is being negated easily off the backfoot.

Who will take wickets on flatter tracks if Bumrah is unavailable for some reason  ?

Duhh the pitch 

[putrevus]

That is why I would add a express young fast bowler in place of Mukesh .How can any bowler be worse than Mukesh.

 

Sarfraz, how are his wicket keeping skills. I thought he was WK for Delhi daredevils.

And we are getting flatter tracks till now 

[putrevus]

Battting has to become better on flatter pitches that too against this awful England spinners. 

 

India should be scoring no less than 700 on these flat wickets against the low quality spinners from England

 

Fatso needs to bat.He is awful captain .Why is Dravid using lack of experience as an excuse. Patidar and Bharat should be playing these English spinners easily on these wickets..

It is great time to give a  young fast bowling allrounder a chance provided they can bowl fast. You can do better by accident than what Mukesh has done.
