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.
