2+ 1 + 1 + 1 + 4 + 4 + 3.3 + 3.3 = 2.45 GPA

Actually not even a 3. Bear in mind this according to Indian fan expectations. With same results, BD's GPA would have been a 4.0.
Let me do my evaluation of India's performance:

Beat BD by only 28 runs = C (because lucky to win toss)
Beat AFG by only 13 runs = D
Took 48 overs to chase 230 vs SA = B+ (batting second was tough)
Lost to England = C (would have been a B, but got C because did not show intent at the end)
Beat PAK = B+ (lucky that PAK asked them to bat first)
Beat AUS = B+ (because lucky to win toss)
Beat WI = B (lucky with toss, B because WI is weaker than AUS and WI)
Beat SL = A (total dominance)

GPA: 2.81/4.00


Did not cross 3, which means the team India has some vulnerabilities and not invincible as media hypes it to be.
