TIL Desk Sports/ The victory against World No. 1 India in the ongoing five-Test series is on par with beating Australia in the Ashes, said England coach Trevor Bayliss, who suggested they might experiment in the fifth and final match starting at The Oval in London, on Friday.
“It is right up there with beating Australia in the Ashes. Obviously India are a very good team, the number one team, and to knock them off is a very good feeling,” said Bayliss after England sealed the five-match series 3-1 with a 60-run win in the fourth Test.
“There were some difficult conditions especially on day one. We have said before, under a bit of pressure these guys have got a bit of character which is a good sign going forward.” With opener Alastair Cook announcing his retirement after this series, and captain Joe Root eagar to bat at No. 4, England will have to figure out their top-order in the final Test as well as in the upcoming series against Sri Lanka and West Indies.
