“With everything taken into account, it was a humiliating loss for the England team , and they have a rude awakening in India. However, they need to now become familiar with the craft of playing turn in the sub-landmass well. Not certain, how are they going to lift themselves up from this embarrassing loss and rouse themselves to play better,” Shoaib Akhtar said on his Youtube channel.
