Australian bowlers gave their best to make sure Indian batsmen are not at their best but it didn’t help that Australian skipper Tim Paine dropped the catch of Vihari at the end of the day after even dropping Rishabh Pant too. This resistant facing will ensure that India heads to the final test in Gabba in Brisbane and get a chance to win the four-match series.
