    WI vs IND | Antigua Day 4 Talking Points - Jasprit Bumrah's line of control and Shai Hope’s fading charm

    The last couple of hours was probably Jasprit Bumrah’s tribute to everything excellent about Test cricket and the way he dictated the course of the game was just magnificent. While Windies gifted 60 Championship points to India, without a fight, Shai Hope’s form brought a lot of questions too.

    Taking ridicule out of way, Ishant Sharma adds one more fairytale day to his late-blooming career

    VVS Laxman’s contribution to Indian cricket is never talked about in the same vein as Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, and Virender Sehwag, but Mohali 2010 told a story. Of course, VVS had quite a number of games to show as his finest but that remained quite a special Test for him.

    One session was all that it took for England's Ashes hopes to come crashing down as a morning session of mayhem saw the hosts getting bundled out for no more than 67 runs. Meanwhile, Marnus Labuschagne wore his Steve Smith mask yet again as he posted his third consecutive fifty of the series.

    On the rain-affected first day, India ended with 203/6 with Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja batting in the middle when rain forced the umpires to call for early stumps. While Windies pacers rose to the occasion once again, Hanuma Vihari’s failure raised a question or two about his technique.
