Virat Kohli and Co. are all pumped up and confident as ever after their 85-run win against Bangladesh in the second Warm-up match on Tuesday. There were quite a few things that went right, quite a  few questions that were answered. The massive positive was the ever debatable no.4 spot in the batting order. With KL Rahul scoring a magnificent century, the spot has now been sealed for sure. The spinning duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal were also amongst the wickets, picking up 3 wickets each.
