“Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli both got out after being set. It was bound to be difficult. In general, spinners have a lot of hope in the second innings of a day game, as evidenced by the dismissals of Dhawan and Kohli. I believe India lost the game when they allowed the opposition to score more than 250 points “Manjrekar went on to say.
