@ConstantinoX The important thingbis not that India invited France, it is the one major strategic partnership that is totally problem free. But France accepting it in the circumstances shows wisdom, magnanimity and above all a special commitment to the bilateral relationship.

Quick analysis of what went wrong for India. Faulty team selection. For Pujara conditions were tailor made, he failed. For Rahane, an excellent opportunity, he failed. Kohli's big match player reputation is dented. India's tail not capabke of adding even 20 runs. @bhogleharsha
