Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has criticised England's batting performances in the ongoing India series. After a terrible showing with the bat throughout the series, England's lacklustre batting form persisted in the fifth Test, as they were dismissed for 218 runs in their first innings at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala.

The Indian spinners, spearheaded by a brilliant spell from Kuldeep Yadav, launched an onslaught against the visitors. England were bowled out within 55 overs in the first innings, with only Zak Crawley showing composure at the crease with his innings of 79 off 108 balls. In his latest tweet, Aakash Chopra acknowledged Kuldeep's brilliance while also highlighting England's trend of low scores across the five Tests so far. Kuldeep is magical, no doubt. Well done on the 5-for. But just how poor have the English batters been throughout this series!!! On good batting surfaces. #IndvEng Kuldeep is magical, no doubt. Well done on the 5-for. ?? But just how poor have the English batters been throughout this series!!! On good batting surfaces," Chopra's tweet said. England's widely-known Bazball strategy has faced heavy criticism due to poor show by the batters throughout the series, drawing disapproval from fans and former cricketers alike. Despite starting well on Day 1 of the Dharamsala Test, England were bundled out for just 218 runs. Rohit Sharma's decision to bring in Kuldeep paid off for the home side, as England crumbled from 170/3 to get bowled out for 218 runs.
