PUNE: It's difficult to pinpoint what hurt India the most — Mitchell Santner's best-ever bowling performance or the team's poor display with the bat. Or the decision to opt for a spin-friendly track here after losing the first Test in Bengaluru. Then there was Tom Latham's crucial knock of 86, and the visitors milking 60-plus runs via sweeps and reverse sweeps.
India, trailing 0-1 in the series, wanted to play on the front foot. They are on the back foot now.
