It's okay to lose on performance but we lost on tactics again!

Time and time again, we lose because opposition do better planning and have better tactics during match. Virat Kohli does not go with horses for courses for team selection. We needed one swing bowler, either Siraj or Shardul here. Bumrah has not been able to replicate his performance of South Africa or Australia in England or NZ. He needs to accept that and work on this issue. When every kid knew we needed to pitch full length, NZ even showed that; why Bumrah kept bowling short of good length Even during match, when we needed to tighten the grip before lunch on day 5, Kohli bowled with Jadeja and Bumrah. 30 runs lead there were the biggest difference.
 
This is not the first time we have lagged in planning. In Adelaide, we didn't go with Pant. WC 2019, we gambled with number 4 batter. Performance can be here and there, but pick best players and do best planning. That is the least we fans expect. NZ did better planning. They played 2 matches before WTC and were better prepared. When Kohli said cricket must go on before leaving for WTC, he had already set the plot for loss.
 
I am very sure that Kohli will play Bumrah in first 3 matches against England.

we will lose at least 4-0 or 5-0 against Eng, this summer, with such a loser TM, loser player attitudes and strategies. Good if that happens to get rid of Kohli and Shastri.
