"As a team, we need to understand that what was the reality of the situation out there in the middle. That's where those 20-25 extra runs would have been good.

We have absolute clarity of it, which is a good thing to know about where you went wrong as a team," said Kohli in the post-match press conference on Sunday.

His opening burst claimed Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul in power-play. In his final over, he took out India skipper Virat Kohli, thus applying brakes to Ind'a's finishing touches.

Antonio -- who had trials at Tottenham when he was 14 -- had most of the chances, troubling the Spurs defence on more than one occasion. Cristian Romero had a particularly difficult match with the 31-year-old, often left second best on their one-on-ones.
Star-studded Team India's meek surrender is a cause for concern!
