Border-Gavaskar Trophy Review: India at tipping point after defeat as England tour beckons

The Hindu  

Late on Sunday night, Mitchell Starc and some of his teammates got into a sports utility vehicle and left the Sydney Cricket Ground. Finally at Sydney, even after snatching a four-run first-innings lead, an inept second innings, despite Rishabh Pant’s fireworks, meant that Australia had an attainable target. If one man had a large bearing on how India shaped up through this series, it was Bumrah, who also led in the first and fifth Test. Chairman Ajit Agarkar and his fellow selectors have to figure out the nucleus of the Test squad, starting with the England tour from June, later this year. After 2013, when India moved on from the Tendulkar era following his retirement, the present is another tipping point.
