India only managed to take 10 wickets in the match as Australia secured a 10-wicket win to level the series 1-1.

Mohammed Siraj's hot temper has become a topic of discussion but Australian quick Josh Hazlewood says the Indian pacer is a "good character" who fires up the crowd and is passionate about the game like Indian superstar Virat Kohli.

Australia's wicketkeeping great Adam Gilchrist has pointed out that Mohammed Siraj and Harshit Rana weren't up to the desired level in Adelaide to support fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah.

Former cricketer Madan Lal believes Rohit Sharma's dwindling form has started to reflect on his captaincy after India fell to a 10-wicket defeat against Australia in the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

The 10-wicket defeat inflicted by Australia marked the fourth consecutive loss for Rohit as India's Test captain.
