India was in a good position to start the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with a win, but the first session of day three shifted the match in Australia's favor. Starting the day with 9 wickets in hand and 62 runs lead, India were jolted by the pace attack of Australia.
Australia speedster Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins picked five and four wickets, respectively. They pushed India back with such a force that there wasn't any chance of recovery for Virat Kohli and co. India were bowled out on 36 runs in the second innings, leaving them with a lead of just 89 runs.
Australia chased down the target of 90 runs with 8 wickets in hand after an attacking partnership between openers Matthew Wade (33) and Joe Burns (51*) made it easier for them.
After the loss, Indian fans were angry with coach Ravi Shastri and demanded his resignation. The fans were already unhappy with the playing XI selection. They felt India should have gone with Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant in the team.
