Fourth reason – The Indian team, which came to chase the big target of 359 runs in the second innings, had a good start, but after the dismissal of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team came under pressure and no batsman could survive again.

Fifth reason – Rishabh Pant's run out in the second innings in Pune also proved to be a big turning point in Team India's defeat. Actually, Rishabh Pant is such a batsman who could have become a trouble-shooter for Team India by performing strongly in difficult times.
