Very true, all those who were predicting aussies to dominate in this series have no idea about cricket played in India so far.

What a performance by Australia. Looks like people just don't understand cricket.

Aus is in driving seat here. Batting last will be hard to chase 200 with shaky Indian batting.

It will be 2-1 India or else 3-1 India if they don't give a patta as I predicted earlier. I am never wrong.

So you are back again after Aus won 2 sessions in the second test. What's the guarantee you are not going to flip again and say that "favourites don't always win"? And this thread is about winning a series not sessions or a match.

Aagaya swaad?
It seems you didn't learn anything from the 1st test. Welcome to cricket in India. There is something called experience which people like you can't get in a day or two.

Ridiculous overrating of Australia in these conditions.

It only means India despite losing our 2nd best batter in Pant, having 3 duds in the lineup. Australia were definitely favourites but India just seem to win no matter who are favourites

Australia were favourites only for noobs who don't understand cricket in India.

As most predicted, Aussies barely even in the series. I predicted 3-0, I hope the Aussies can eke out a draw somewhere to prove me right.

India have dominated Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy so far. After easy wins in the first two Tests, which the hosts achieved in less than three days on both occasions, the third Test starts in Indore on March 1. The Australian team has been dealt with several blows owing to injuries while their regular captain Pat Cummins too will not be available for the third Test as he has gone back home due to his mother's illness. Amidst this, former India captain and ex-BCCI president Sourav Ganguly has predicted that Australia will be clean-sweep.
"I see 4-0. It will be hard for Australia to beat India. In these conditions, we are a far superior team," Ganguly was quoted as saying to Rev Sportz.
Meanwhile, citing Mike Tyson, Australian great Greg Chappell has slammed the team's forgettable performance in the first two Tests against India, saying the visitors "punched themselves in the mouth long before the first ball was even bowled".
Australia have already conceded the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after being hammered in the first two Tests of the four-match series, both games ending under three days and prompting sharp reactions from the country's former cricketers.
"It was Mike Tyson who said in the lead-up to a fight with Evander Holyfield: Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.
"My concern after watching the first two Tests is that the Australian team punched themselves in the mouth long before the first ball was even bowled," Chappell wrote in the Sydney Morning Herald.
He has also questioned Australia's planning for the ongoing tour of the country.
"It is one thing to plan, but to base that plan on a flawed premise is an exercise in futility," he added.

Those were some pretty miserable batting collapses from Australia in the opening two Tests.
Though not entirely unexpected. Australia have good batters but they seem to experience a weird mental block in Indian conditions. Every team has its bogey side.
3-1 to India. I think the Aussies will nick a Test.

Aus never had the batting or the bowling to trouble India in India. Delusional predictions of Aus winning series.
Aus came undercooked in mind and this series has likely finished off Warner and Agar's test careers. Looks like Renshaw will also be finished by end of this.
Aus are anyway going to lose 0-4. They should save their pacers for the WTC final and Ashes.
Biggest beneficiary of this series are Handscomb and Bancroft who will likely make Ashes squad and likely XI as well

In India, Indian team starts as favourites against any other team. So the term "bogey" is not correct.
That's correct.
England despite winning the first test in last series, lost next 3 comfortably despite winning all 2/3 tosses.
It's not just about India being bogey team to Australia.

Can't even see Australia eking out a draw now, batsmen can't survive that long.

Aus top order is not much different than Indian top order.
It's the 3 spin Indian all rounders. That's a huge factor and any opposition will struggle to match that. They have taken game away with bat and ball.

Australia really needed preparations , they've been self destructive , clumsy , timid and lacking the killing instinct the entire series and thus got washed in first two tests , looked like a completely different team in third test.

2-2 possible now? Australia's confidence after this win could make the difference.

If Australia had Starc and Green available from 1st Test, they would have won the series.

This series could end as a last day thriller - plenty of possibilities.

So far so good for Australia.
If they somehow can manage 500 in 1st innings, they can win this game and draw the series.

Steve smith has been so reckless this series its a joke or maybe his mojo is gone for good. Australia scores 200 more runs it will be game over for india.

Considering his poor technique, it was always expected that he would struggle as he becomes older.
He depends on hand-eye coordination. That declines with age.
Has there ever been a batsman that did not rely on hand-eye coordination?.

His technique was never poor. Otherwise he won't have scored that many runs at the start.
His technique is ugly to watch but was never poor.

Was gonna say the same… he has the fundamentals / foundations down. Can’t say he has bad technique no matter how it looks
