Bangar said India could have been in a better position had Pandya and Ashwin applied themselves a little more. India were all out for 273 on Friday in response to England's 246.
The assistant coach said that Kohli's knock will give a lot of confidence and learning to the other batsmen with a lot of cricket remaining to be played in the first Test.

Bangar is confident that Rahane will bounce back as he has the ability to do so.
