Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant were only two Indian batsmen with respectable scores against their names.

In the post-match press conference, when a journalist asked Kohli whether he would drop Rohit Sharma from the playing XI after he was unsuccessful in the match, Kohli found it unbelievable. He told the scribe whether he had an idea what Sharma had done for India in their last match.
