    "editor1": "<p>Bengaluru, March 2 (Cricketnmore) Head coach Anil Kumble on Thursday said the Indian cricket team did not play to its potential in the Pune Test, where they lost to Australia by a mammoth 333-run margin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kumble said the team did not adapt well to the conditions and that was the reason it lost the first Test match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Pune Test was finished inside three days with Australia&#39;s left-arm spinner Steve O&#39;Keefe taking six wickets in each innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;What has happened in Pune is done and dusted. I don&#39;t think we played to our potential. The team didn&#39;t adapt to the conditions. Every game we need to adapt to what comes our way. Australia played well,&quot; Kumble told media persons ahead of the second Test, starting on March 4 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/kohli-ashwin-chosen-for-bcci-2016-17-awards--24337\">Also Read: Kohli, Ashwin chosen for BCCI 2016-17 awards<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Now we are looking forward to the second game to get back to winning ways. It was a team failure and we cannot point fingers at anyone,&quot; Kumble added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We would like to come back into this Test match playing to our potential. And I also said earlier that if we tick those boxes regularly, the results go our way,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The veteran leg-spinner also reckoned that there were many close calls in the middle so it is too early to question the Decision Review System (DRS).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>India lost all four reviews while fielding and managed only one decision in their favour while batting in the first Test.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/india-will-fight-back-says-tendulkar--24351\">Also Read:&nbsp;India will fight back says Tendulkar<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;No, I don&#39;t think we messed it up. We did certainly better in DRS than England and Bangladesh. Those calls were really close. So, I don&#39;t think we need to worry about that,&quot; Kumble said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 46-year-old also made it clear that the team management will not replace middle-order batsman Ajinkya Rahane, who was dismissed for 13 and 18 in both the innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;There&#39;s no question of dropping Ajinkya Rahane. He has scored well and has been extremely successful. It is unfortunate that Karun Nair has missed out. That&#39;s how the team composition goes,&quot; Kumble said.<\/p>\r\n",
