Hosts India have been tested almost right through the long home season. Every time they have come up with the right answers, riding on, among other things, immense self-belief. One or the other batsman would come good, the tail would wag, and if R Ashwin didn't get you, Ravindra Jadeja would. The same could be said about Mohd Shami or Umesh Yadav. But the Pune show, dismal as it was, seems to have done them in mentally.
