- India's spinners - turning the ball more with greater control
- Why England's batting tactics are actually a tribute to India's great bowling
- Why India are actually relentlessly attacking while England are highly defensive
- Why England should have played an extra seamer in all three Tests
- The problem for England's spinners in India - lack of control
- Sarfaraz Khan's old-school method of lofting spinners
- Shubman Gill's tweak to his technique
- Ashwin's 500th, Jadeja's stupendous Test
