1. The bowling of the Indian team was helpless in this match. No bowler of Team India could control Steve Smith, Travis Head. India, however, started well and dropped Australia’s three wickets early. After this again Smith and Head spoiled the rhythm of the Indian bowlers. The rhythm that was spoiled on the first day could not return again.
2. Australia had made a huge score, so it was expected that the Indian batsmen would also score runs, but when the batting of Team India came on the second day, it was piled up. Neither Rohit Sharma’s bat nor Virat Kohli’s. Cheteshwar Pujara also failed.
3. Ajinkya Rahane had set his feet on the third day. He was close to scoring a century but missed and Team India could not even score 300 runs. For India, only two batsmen could score half-centuries in this match and these were Ajinkya Rahane and Shardul Thakur. Both of them scored half-centuries in the first innings.
4. On the fourth day, Indian bowlers had to take Australia’s wickets quickly but this work could not be done and India got a huge target of 444 runs. India’s second innings started on the fourth day. It was expected that Rohit and Shubman Gill would give a good start to the team but this could not happen. Pujara was also dismissed playing a bad shot in this innings.
5. India needed 280 runs on the fifth day. Looking at the fighting spirit shown by Team India in the Tests in the last few years, it seemed that this work is possible. One reason for this was that Virat Kohli and Rahane were present on the wicket. But Kohli got out after playing a bad shot and Rahane also could not walk. No fighter was seen from Team India.
