Following the loss against England in the first Test match, Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir said the collapse in the lower-middle order was not the only reason behind losing the game.

"It`s not that they`re not working hard in the nets as well. Sometimes these things happen. Even the pure batters fail as well. So, hopefully they`re going to learn, and hopefully we can have better performances from our tail. And that is not the only reason why we lost the Test match, to be honest. There were other moments as well, where we could have won the Test match," Gambhir said in the post-match press conference.

In India`s first innings, the visitors` batting unit dominated the game as they struck three individual centuries. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant were the centurions from the first innings. Later, in the second essay, KL Rahul scored a century, whereas Pant registered his second ton in the match.
