England is touring for a long series of 5 test matches in India, Thus the beginning of this tour has set a clear statement about the challenges Indian cricket team going to face while England performs in this sport as Indian opponent. English batsmen not only hit all Indian attacks with making a prolific statement with the bat But their spinners also opened a clear chance for them to come close more to the victory in coming matches ahead, As the tour goes on.

The Rajkot pitch did provide prolific performances, As 2 of Indian batsmen scored centuries as well as English debutant Hameed also moved on to perform brilliantly in his first match which took place abroad; However Cook's performance might over-shadow his 82 runs to knock in the 2nd innings But Cook became the highest century getter as a visitor in the Indian soil, which help to understand a statement more clear to the Indians, that this tour is not going to be one way traffic as It did happen in the Kiwis series indeed.

There is a certain chance of mood lift in coming matches, But the performance of Hameed was accepted as the challenge by Captain Kohli who managed to score 49 unbeaten in the final session of the final day, But one thing became clearer in this test match that performances of spin are equally exploring as much as Indians. However Ravi Ashwin got only 3 wickets in the whole match, as compared to him Adil Rasheed strike wickets in both innings and took 7 wickets in the overall match, proving himself to be a better leg spinner than Mishra, But the progress of the tour shall only tell the further tale What can be mentioned as stat here that the accuracy of striking runs by England was higher than India in all 5 days, Thus they received fluent performances in face of 3 centurions which happened in India after 55 years in one inning only, by the same team indeed.
In this way, England is prepared in all ways to present itself to the task and whether it's stat or their virtual performance, they will boost themselves for the coming matches in this format around this whole tour...
