They were in good positions at various times, but weren't able to give the knockout punch at the right moment. The Indians have some thinking to do, but I can guarantee a better show in Sydney. History suggests with India touring abroad that they play better from the second Test onwards. There is a lot of cricket left to be played in this series," he said.</div><div><br /></div><div>Ganguly, however, felt the emergence of fast bowlers is the positive from the game. "They can take a lot of positives from this game, especially in the bowling department.u00a0</div><div><br /></div><div>Umesh Yadav was hugely impressive, and what will give a lot of hope to MS Dhoni is that Zaheer Khan has come out well. He will get better with every day as he is a class act," Ganguly wrote in his column in The Sydney Morning Herald.u00a0</div>
