India vs Australia Test Series: The five-Test series between India and Australia has ended. If we leave aside the first Test match, the Indian batsmen flopped badly in the series and could not show anything special. Whereas Team India included experienced players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant. But the result was disappointing. These star players were exposed in front of the deadly Australian bowlers and these players kept yearning to stay at the crease, far from scoring runs. Team India had to lose the series due to poor batsmen.
Scored less than 200 7 times
The Australian team won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India after 10 years. During the Test series against Australia, Team India could score less than 200 7 times. This is the first time in the 21st century that Team India has scored less than 200 in 7 innings of a Test series. This had not happened with Team India before. This is only the second time in the 21st century. When a team has scored less than 200 7 times in a Test series. West Indies had a similar situation against Australia in the year 2000-01.

Team India had won in the first match
Rohit Sharma did not play in the first test match against Australia. He was in India for the birth of his second child. For this reason, Jasprit Bumrah took the responsibility of captaincy in his place. Under the captaincy of Bumrah, Team India played brilliantly and captain Bumrah himself took 8 wickets and played an important role in Team India winning the match by 295 runs.
Lost by 6 wickets in the fifth test
Rohit Sharma returned in the second test match and Team India’s train derailed. After this, India had to face defeat by 10 wickets in the second test. The third test match was washed out due to rain and was a draw. But the story of the Indian team’s defeat in the fourth (loss by 184 runs) and fifth Test (loss by 6 wickets) did not change. India had to lose both these matches by huge margins and lost the series 3-1. Rohit had kept himself out of the playing eleven from the fifth Test and Shubman Gill got a chance in his place, but he also failed to perform well.
