The Indian Cricket team succumbed to a six wicket loss in the third test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy to win the series 3-1. With the series win against India, Australia booked their place in the WTC final and also retained the BGT after 10 years. India were missing captain and bowler Jasprit Bumrah as he had to sit out on the third day due to injury concerns. India's only win in the series came during the first test match in Perth.
Following the series loss, a lot of questions need to be asked about India's test setup.
