The Indian team lost the second Test match against Australia by 10 wickets. In this match, the batsmen of the Indian team flopped badly. Nitish Reddy was the most successful batsman for Team India in the match, who scored 42-42 runs in both innings. Team India's batting line-up had great batsmen like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, but all of them collapsed in front of the bowling of Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins. After winning the match, Australia has leveled the series 1-1.
Rohit Sharma has lost his fourth consecutive Test match as captain. Earlier, under his captaincy, the Indian team lost the Test series against New Zealand 3-0. Rohit has played a total of 8 Test matches as captain so far and has equaled Sunil Gavaskar. Team India had lost 8 Test matches under Gavaskar's captaincy too.

Indian team captain Rohit Sharma scored 3 runs in the first innings and 6 runs in the second innings. Apart from batting, he also proved to be a flop as a captain. When he decided to play Ravichandran Ashwin in the playing eleven instead of Washington Sundar, this move proved to be costly for the team. Ashwin could not do anything special in the match. He bowled 18 overs in the first innings, in which he could take only one wicket. At the same time, he scored 22 and 7 runs with the bat.
