Final thoughts
This Test just sumps up how difficult it is to beat India in India. It is a bit like Rafael Nadal at his best on clay. There are no easy points. You can have everything going for you: win the toss, post the runs, have India at 139 for 7, then run away to a great start in the second innings, but still India will keep throwing punches back at you. The depth in their batting and their bowling is incredible.
Australia definitely missed Hazlewood, Starc and Green, but they still had a lot going for them. It is just that India had more quality and more depth in their ranks. See you in the next Test then.
