Before the Pakistan match, Indian captain Virat Kohli had asserted that the Men in Blue had ticked all boxes and covered all bases. It’s quite apparent after the 10-wicket defeat that they had not prepared for the dew factor.

People may consider a critic wiser after the event, but the fact is, India faltered by going in with just five bowlers, especially knowing that dew could be an issue and also playing a half-fit Hardik Pandya when the need was for a bowling all-rounder.
