Kuldeep Yadav's Spin Dominance Leaves England Reeling in Fifth Test

England’s chances of securing a final victory in their tour of India are in jeopardy after a disastrous batting collapse on the first day of the fifth Test in Dharamsala. The tourists after a promising start were bowled out for 218 losing their last eight wickets for 81 runs.

Opener Zak Crawley made 79 but England’s last eight wickets fell to spin with Kuldeep Yadav taking 5-72 and Ravichandran Ashwin claiming 4-51. In response, India’s opening stand of 104 between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma has put them in a strong position at 135-1. England faces the risk of a 4-1 series defeat.
