Geoff Boycott also stated the importance of batsman's tight defence. "On flat batting pitches at home and in Pakistan and New Zealand our batsmen have had great fun. Indian pitches have been a bit different. Having a good defence is part of batting."

Former England opening batsman Geoff Boycott said that the English batsmen's failure to understand the left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav was one of the main reasons behind the side's defeat against India.

The visitors started the five-match test series with a win in Hyderabad but later on went to lose all the remaining matches. India's spin wizard Kuldeep Yadav ended the series with 19 wickets in four matches.
