Unforgettable moments from the India-Australia Test series 

#2 Kohli & Shastri get it wrong again- First London, then Perth

India Got its team combination wrong yet again the 2nd test match

India were firm favourites going into the 2nd Test. Whatever apprehensions were made about India being incapable of facing the fearsome Aussie pace bowling trio were now dispersed into thin air. However, just like in Lord's earlier in the year against the Englishmen, the team management got carried away and went in with the wrong 11 for the match.

At Lord’s, India went in with an extra spinner on the seam-friendly track after they misread the pitch. Perth was the absolute opposite. India chose to go in with 4 front line pacers on a track where Nathan Lyon took 8 wickets and bagged the man of the match award.

The selection raised serious questions about Ravi Shastri and his tactical abilities to assist the team with pundits across the globe calling for his head as the Indian coach. It was fair to say, India would have achieved a different result in the game if they had Ravindra Jadeja’s all-round abilities or Kuldeep Yadav’s guile to their assistance in the game.
