India vs England: Joe Root failed to gain 'valuable psychological advantage' by not declaring in 1st Test, says Ian Chappell

Firstpost  

Ian Chappell lauded Joe Root for improvements in captaincy and his consistency with the bat, but said he can still learn the ‘art of perception and psychology’. New Delhi: Australian great Ian Chappell feels that by not declaring their second innings in the opening Test, England captain Joe Root missed out on sending a message, which could have given him a “valuable psychological advantage” later in the series. “Despite having a brilliant all-round game in the first Test, Root failed to take full advantage of England’s superiority at a critical time in the game. “Instead of oscillating between all-out attack and inexplicable defence in the late stages of their second innings, England should have pushed on aggressively in order to declare and set a target,” Chappell wrote in ‘ESPNcricinfo’.
