(Washington is a much better batter than Kuldeep and India had been bowled out for 46 in an innings in the test match before this match.) Even the legendary Sunil Gavaskar was critical of this decision while commentating on the test match.

After a disappointing batting performance in the second match, India will be looking to make changes to their lineup. Abhishek Sharma's recent form is a concern, and the team may consider bringing in Tilak Varma to open with Sanju Samson. Ramandeep Singh is also an option for the middle order. India's key batters, including Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and Rinku Singh, will need to perform consistently. Pandya, despite scoring 39 runs in the previous game, was slow to score, highlighting an area for improvement. While Samson is currently in good form, other batters must contribute if he has an off day.

Amit Syngle, MD & CEO, Asian Paints, says the company faced pressure in the overall product mix and sales. All the metro towns and the bigger cities did not do well and even the B2B market, where Asian Paints accounted for 15-20%, did not go the way we anticipated. Industrials was the only segment where they did well. Coming to price hike, Syngle says that given the inflation in the first quarter, they took a price increase in terms of passing it on to the market. They also saw a lot of volatility in terms of the crude prices. The entire paint industry has taken a price increase and the full realisation of the price increase will happen in Q3. In Q2, your peers had managed to report a volume growth between 4% and 9%. But your numbers were clearly a bit of a miss. In fact, the volumes declined by half a percent. What led to this divergence because we usually do not see Asian Paints performing so badly versus its peers. What led to that? Amit Syngle: As we look at the last quarter, we have just touched our base in terms of the volume terms and the value has also been negative. July was good for us but then all the rainfalls and floods that came in August, were not very well distributed across the country. So, we saw a muted demand coming in both August and September and given that the seasonal component in overall our sales is very high, we saw that in all the seasonal markets, and faced pressure in our overall product mix and the overall sale.

Mayuresh Joshi, Head Equity, Marketsmith India, says the ratings for UPL probably look a little bit weak whereas their peers – Paradeep Phosphates and Sumitomo Chemical can do well. For Biocon to a certain extent, numbers are very patchy. One good quarter has been followed by two bad quarters and therefore the consistency in numbers delivery is still not coming through. At this juncture, Syngene remains as a better player on Marketsmith watch list compared to Biocon. Any first thoughts on UPL or any other specialty chemical name that you like? Mayuresh Joshi: No, I think numbers are a tad below par for UPL. The Advanta or the seeds business, has done relatively better, but they are seeing pricing headwinds specifically in the crop protection business. Now within the geographies that they probably operate out of, we are seeing some scenarios where there have been instances of floods in a few European countries as well and therefore how does this revenue build up specifically in the second half that they are maintaining their guidance and specifically on the EBITDA front is something to be watched out for.
