Turning points of the series?

[vvvslaxman]

I have to say those 2 bloody run outs involving Gauti caused more damage than anything else.

2nd innings Ahmedabad

For england-Its obvious Cooks performance in 2nd innings at ahmedabad. For India-Preparing a turning track in mumbai.It was attrocious decison as we were leading and if we had kept england on the field and grounded them .It would have been it .Also the psycological advantage of turning track was gone which we had used earlier as our last option.

[Magneto]

Monty's inclusion in Wankhede. That turned everything around. KP's innings too.

[Cricketics]

Our batting in the first innings of the 4th test. We had everything to play for to draw the series. England didn't put much. Just about 300. Had we scored about 450, we would have been in for a victory here in this test. We lost lot of wickets which resulted in slow run rate and hence a draw.

[Sidhoni]

2nd innings at Ahemdabad. That gave them the belief that they can play spin.

[Ultimate_Game]

To me the turning point was England's 1st innings at Mumbai. On a pitch tailor-made for spin, England (Cook & KP) flayed Indian spinners easily when the consensus was that India had more than enough runs on the board. If India had managed to get either of the two cheaply and run through England the series woul dhave been a different one altogether.

[Laaloo]

I would Sachin's dismissal in Mumbai and then Pujara's dropped catch of Cook was the icing on the cake. The game was still salvagable after Sachin got out but not when Cook was dropped and went on the make 190

[Number]

Dhoni's moronic decision of the century(he has made many in this series) to keep all the junk the squad after Mumbai Test.

Yadavs Injury too dealt a huge blow.

[vvvslaxman]

Yadavs Injury too dealt a huge blow.

+1 i think that was one of the major turning point.

[vayuu1]

Kohli statement "come to India and we will show u"now there is no where to hide. Arz hai"patta patta boota haal hamara jaane hai " jaane Na jaane virat hi Na jaane jahan to saara jaane hai" He shud have sticked to his usual mc bc .

[Crookbond]

I think next Kohli will say - "Come to my building compound, we will see."

[coffee_rules]

2nd innings in Kolkata..when 6 wickets were lost in a session after 86 for no loss , India were 123/6. Worst collapse. If we have survived that session and drawn the test, we would have a drawn series. I was hoping to see Sachin's retirement announcement..but none..

[Ras Al Ghul]

Cooks two lives by Aleem Dar in Mumbai and his catch Drops by Pujara.Take him out of the equation and you will see that England wouldnt have posted 550 at Eden and Wankhede.

[Ahmed]

Turning point? Well in my opinion it was the turning wickets offered to England. Had it been flat all the way after the first Test, India could have won the series.

[Trichromatic]

India lost the series when team started focusing more on England's weaknesses, rather than strengthening own team. Denying England practice against spin. Preparing rank turners. All efforts to estimate England's team rather than own team. Whole discussion was not how this weak Indian team would play, rather how this England team will play here. Team had no idea of it's own strengths and weaknesses and they never realized it either. During series, it was Cook and KP's inning at Mumbai.

[jairamesh]

Turning point was early January this year, when Dhoni wasn't sacked, Gambhir, Sehwag, and Sachin being treated as untouchable.

[Gunner]

IMO Umesh Yadav's injury was the major turning point. We lost our only wicket-taking bowler and were left with losers like Unlucky and Bhajji.
