Interestingly, this is similar first inning score India posted in the 2018-19 series (250 all-out) at the same venue.

Indian skipper Virat Kohli's run-out actually shows the dependency and his aura around this team.  Let's wait and watch whether Kohli's absence in the last three tests will be an eye-opener for India in terms of the results.
