Captain Rohit Sharma believes Indian batsmen needed to learn the lesson from their loss in Indore and be braver when they take on the Australian spinners in the fourth and final test in Ahmedabad next week.
India, who lead the four-test series 2-1, were bundled out for 109 and 169 on a rank turner at Indore's Holkar Cricket Stadium where 30 wickets fell in the first two days of the low-scoring contest.
Cheteshwar Pujara's 59 was the highest score by an Indian batter in the match and Australia's Nathan Lyon claimed 11 wickets, including 8-64 in India's second innings. "Look, when you're playing on challenging pitches, you've got to be brave, honestly," Rohit said after their nine-wicket defeat inside three days.
"I just felt we allowed their bowlers to bowl on one particular spot. Not taking any credit away from their bowlers, especially Nathan Lyon. He was brilliant, he kept challenging us, kept hitting that right length.
