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.

I agree 100% with the obvious Qs u have raised.He( Virat) wears his attitude( a lot of it) and aggro on his sleeves and body and everywhere.sadly, its not complemented by common sense, humility, maturity and analytical thinking.He is a poor captain material. May be a very good batsman but horrendous as captain. India must get someone more sensible, mature and having willingness to listen and learn. Unfortunately for him, he is mentored by Shastri who himself was very average cricketer, rather below average.
It were Sunil Gavaskar and anil Kumble who read the situation well and hinted at the inevitable.Pujara and B Kumar should comein in places of Rohit and Harbhajan on 20.08. Needless agression would certainly end in defeats where draws were possible. Satish tikekar
The Indian Criket team has disgraced all the Indians with their play The deafeat that to on the Independence day has hurt all of us the most. Insensible batting and lack of maturity has hurted.
stay put in ur crease on a turning turf, then ur inviting ur demise, even school boys wud know that the indians shud have used their feet on the galle wicket. the captain is only as good as the team. no point on him taking all the blame. he was gud in this match.
I dont like Virat Kohli, he looks so proudy and egoist.Dhoni has been the best captain and Virat was not cooperating with him, he conspired in dressing room to let team go down so that he is made the captain
Sack Rohit,Rahul Haaar Bhaji and Ishant Sharma from the team and hand over the tickets back to India.Let Rohit and Haar Bhaji Sardar settle once for all with the Ambanis doing odd jobs in their household.The less you talk about Ishant better it is as is the case with Rahul
You have Held Aloft India's Tri Colour and I am Proud to be an Indian on 15th August 2015 !!!!
I am actually Happy that Indian team has maintained its Overseas Record of Losing and also Snatching Defeat from The Jaws of Victory !
Well Played Sri Lanka, I thought they came back very well with Dinesh Chandimal's 160 score.
Indians Dominated All The Sessions for The First 3 Days and were Looking Good till Day 3 Close of play at Stumps India were Favourites !!!!
Come Day 4 and we Fall like 9 Pins and Lose The Test very easily. Indian Team had 2 Full Days to score 176 Runs, but they Lost it Inside 3 Sessions of play.
