The experienced batsmen, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli managed to put up scores of 91 and 93 runs respectively. The young talents including Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Rishabh Pant showed some resilience but it was not up to the mark.

He pointed out issues with the players' temperament, explaining that their mindset often leads them to attempt aerial shots after just a few dot balls, a risky approach in red-ball cricket that ultimately cost India the series. In a conversation with India Today, Sunil Gavaskar said: “Definitely more, more, more a problem of temperament because the temperament now is that and that is again a white ball legacy. Is there two or three dot balls? We've got to go and try and impose ourselves on the on the bowlers. So go for a big shot, go for an aerial shot if it comes off great. But where the ball is doing something, then these chances are a lot less, So while the technique is there, its temperament is thinking that I can do this by because the boundaries are short. The bats are so good, guys are all strong as well, so we can get it into the stands.” Following a disappointing 3-0 series loss to New Zealand at home, India now faces the real possibility of missing out on the World Test Championship final at Lord’s next year. To secure their place in the Finals once again, India will need a dominant performance, requiring a 4-0 victory over Australia in the upcoming five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.
