'Being so resilient': Ricky Ponting

"India's resilience has got to give up at some st. y can't keep doing what y've been doing, being so resilient, and tomorrow it might be that day. last day of series, potentially playing for ar draw, I've just got a feeling that something's got to give. And Australia on or hand, y kw y have to go flat out and give everything to win series," Ponting told cricket.com.au on Monday.

At same time, three-time World Cup winner added that a drawn Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series will hurt hosts more than loss y suffered during 2018-19 season.

"I think a drawn series will be worse than loss a couple of years ago. That's way I look at it, considering how hard India has found it going through 20 players in a series, (Australia) having Warner back for last couple of games, Smith back for all m that y didn't have last time around. A draw would t only feel like a loss to m but be a worse result than last series," he added.
