--The Indian team lacked passion and aggression, despite scoring 400 plus in the 1st inning.
-- Indian tail wagged
-- Remove Jasprit Bumrah from the equation and the Indian bowlers are not better than school kids
-- One player drops 5 catches and the team drops 8 catches in total, only a miracle can make you the winners
-- The most important thing, the team's body language did not seem like they are playing as a team as it seemed all were playing for individual milestones. There seems to be no cohesion at all.

-- "When things don't happen, then make it happen"- this is what Kohli and his captaincy was all about
-- Can we expect a U-turn in the next 4 matches- BIG NO!
