India was to chase only 193 runs throughout almost 4 sessions, after the Indian bowlers did a remarkable job bowling out the English batters for just 192 in the second innings. To everyone, even the winner predictor, it seemed India was a 100% favourite with no chances of a win for England or a draw.
Former Royal Challengers Bangalore star batter AB de Villiers has criticized the top 5 batters in the Indian lineup for having shown no signs of intent, as a result of which the match ended in a tragic loss, despite the strong persistence from Jadeja and the tailenders.
"I think team India went wrong in my humble opinion, final innings way too conservative with the bat in hand in the top five."
AB de Villiers is all praise for India's bowling attack
Though AB de Villiers slammed the Indian batters who had the strategy to take the chase deeper into Day 5's play but failed miserably in their prospect, he is all praise to the Indian bowlers, who, according to him, did a remarkable job.
"....I truly believe Team India’s bowling attack is over England’s batting attack, and they are doing their job. It’s just the batters because they’re getting the starts, but they’re not just pushing on,” he added.

Gibbs, however, not only slammed the Indian top order but also took a dig at Jasprit Bumrah, who played 54 balls and did not show any intent to score runs. Though many tried to back Bumrah, saying that was the need of the hour, Gibbs was firm that if Bumrah could have the record of most runs in an over in Test cricket, why could a similar intent not be shown here?
