It was clearly a selection blunder by Virat Kohli and the team management. However, after the match, he defended his choices, stating that Bhuvneshwar Kumar did not have enough match practice in four-day cricket and hence he preferred Umesh Yadav as he had taken 10 wickets in his previous Test (against West Indies in October)

'We certainly get more excited than nervous looking at lively pitches. We understand that we have a bowling attack that can bowl out the opposition now. I hope no more grass is taken off it. We as a team are pretty happy with that,' said a confident Virat Kohli ahead of the second Test against Australia in Perth

Virat Kohli and his men have a clear advantage going to Perth as the Australians are battling serious handicaps 

'I was very impressed with Kohli four years ago as he picked up the challenge on hard and bouncy wickets. He used both front and back foot, which is his biggest plus. A lot of Indian batsmen use only their front foot. He will make runs and Australia’s challenge will be to keep him to average around 50,' Geoff Lawson said

'Australian cricket, I think, needs to stop worry about being liked and start worrying about being respected. Play tough Australian cricket. Whether we like it or not, that's in our blood,' former captain Michael Clarke said
