What a match and what a final day! Monumental effort from Vihari and co. Of all the batsmen in the Indian playing 11, Vihari was the least impressive (at least to me) by far, till now. And to think if KL Rahul hadn't injured himself, Vihari might not have even played this match. Rishabh Pant seems to love the SCG more than any other ground. He now has over 500 runs in ten innings in Australia. Before he came in to bat people were wondering if there was any chance for India to even save the test. When he was batting people were thinking India could actually win.
All in all, lot of character shown by the whole team to stay the course and not give up.
I have zero hopes for Brisbane though. The Indian dressing room looks like a hospital ER ward now. The list of injuries is endless and more keep getting added in every test. We have now lost Jadeja not just for Brisbane but for the England series too. Vihari is most likely out for the next test too and even Ashwin might be in doubt. I hope Pant's elbow heals up or we're going to be playing that god awful Saha again. If the Aussies don't steamroll this team like a second tier Ranji squad in Brisbane, they will be disappointed with themselves.
