Team India handed England one of their grandest Test series loss. Despite being in the Bazball era, where England has been aggressive in their batting approach, the Three Lions could not maintain the momentum. It seemed like India was the one putting Bazball in full effect. The Men in Blue won the Test series with a 4-1 lead after winning the final Test match in Dharamshala. Former England player Nasser Hussain opened up on England's loss in their tour to India and what was the prime reason behind their trouncing defeat.

Nasser Hussain's cut-throat response over England's loss to India in Test series

Nasser Hussain shares his perspective as he reflects on England's 4-1 series loss in India, where the visitors were humiliated at Dharamsala by an innings and 64 runs following two batting collapses. In his column for Sky Sports, the former English captain explains why Bazball and pitches are not to blame but also wants the Three Lions to learn from the loss. 

'The batting collapses will be the main issue from this tour. There have been so many occasions where they have got off to decent starts, and the middle order has then collapsed,' Nasser Hussain said.

'Try to learn why you collapsed. Why does Zak Crawley keep getting starts and then getting out? Does Ben Duckett need to charge the bowler when the ball is so new and spinning? Ollie Pope - a brilliant 196, then nothing else.

'Look at your own game and improve. That is how you get better as players and better as a team,' The former captain added.
