5:54 AM IST The Presentation Ceremony...

5:53 AM IST Silver linings emerged for India despite the loss. While Bumrah maintained his stellar form, the resurgence of Mohammed Siraj was perhaps the bowling unit's small win - a timely return to rhythm that could prove crucial in the series ahead for India. Though the batting lineup largely faltered, two men stood tall and showed some fight. The ever-adventurous Rishabh Pant and the promising Nitish Kumar Reddy. Young Reddy's gritty display with both bat and ball may have just locked down that coveted all-rounder spot in the lower order.
