One must wonder if there is a single intelligent people associated with entire BCCI administration. Why don't they accept DRS?? Yes DRS has few loopholes but most of the time it is correct. India could have won this test match and a few test matches in Australia last year had there been DRS. Wake up bunchofJokers!!!
Again it is the story of sour grapes;.you play you win/you dont play you lose.(eg. Kohli,,Dhawan,SharmaR,HSingh,WSaha).Should have resolve to play good cricket always.This team lacks only that.
1) Can Kohali/ Sahstri / Sandip Patil / Anurag Thakur explain why Harbhajan did not get the more than 1 wicket in entire match when track was conducive for spin & Ashwin got 10 wickets Mishra got 6 wickets? 2)Can Kohali/ Sahstri / Sandip Patil / Anurag Thakur explain what this Rohit Sharma is doing in the team inspite of repetitive failures? 3)There were only 2 bowlers balling, the remaining bowlers were just doing formality. Ishant Sharma and Aaron were bowling like they are playing in IPL, they were too expensive. 4)Why Kohali did not attack with Ashwin and Mishra at both ends when Chandimal and Thirimanne were new to the crease, why he did not go for the kill and tried to finish the match on day-4 itself? Why he allowed Sharma, and Aaron to bowl from both ends despite they were expensive? Why he allowed both to settle and score big and fast runs, that is the mysterious question. The match was lost due to that partnership on day 4, as the track was turning more & more and due to that the moderate target was also difficult to chase.

Let's accept this harsh fact: THAT INDIA IS TRADITIONALLY NOT A GOOD TEST SIDE, IT HAS NEVER BEEN. As far as Dhoni is concerned he was never a good test batsman himself, he knew that so he rightly retired with respect before anybody keeps him out. But you cannot compare Kohali with Dhoni. Dhoni is the most successful Indian captain, under his captainship we have won all the major ICC tournaments. It's the fact and for that we must give him credit. His captainship qualities are better than Virat Kohli. Though I agree that in last year or so, especially in ODI's and T-20's he has done politics by selecting his favourite players from Chennai Super Kings. But that politics was associated with all over previous captains. Even Ganguly did the same, even more and, created groups in the team played some out of form players purposefully. And for Virat Kohli, captaining Indian national team is not like captaining Delhi domestic side or under-19 side. Only swearing, bad words, staring with wide eyes & doing theatrics for camera is not going to help, you need to be smart in your bowling changes, fielding placements, batting order, attacking batting at the right time, reading the situation of the game & acting accordingly etc., only aggressiveness with mouth and eyes won't win you matches, show the smartness instead by your actions.
Kohli stop blaming Umpires Decisions or non-availability of DRS, or 5 bawler theory etc. etc.etc. THE TRUTH IS VERY BITTER TO SWALLOW BUT IT'S TRUTH AND THAT IS " WE PLAYED VERY BAD CRICKET."

seems like ICC is cons.piring against India to accept the DRS. In the last few matches India has been at the receiving end of pathetic umpiring decisions. Is this a message to BCCI to accept DRS or continue to face umpiring bias?

Yes Mr. TinguSingh, ICC might be conspiring against BCCI - But Indians need to Understand that DRS & Hotspot are extremely valuable and helpful in the Long run in cricket.
