Despite their dismal performance in the opening Test at Adelaide, the Indian team showcased marvellous composure and determination in their subsequent contests. From tackling injury woes to countering verbal volleys, purely on the basis of cricketing merit, the visitors deflated the mighty Aussies with their valorous efforts on the field. Australian captain Tim Paine, who had earlier challenged R Ashwin to come to Brisbane, got the taste of his own medicine after the off-spinner's wife brutally trolled him on Twitter.

It was imperative for the visitors to make a statement after their Day and Night Test debacle. Stand-in captain, Ajinkya Rahane, helped the side stage a stunning comeback into the series. After winning the second Test match comprehensively, the team had to toil hard in order to save the third Test match at Sydney. R Ashwin and Hanuma Vihari orchestrated a marathon partnership to rob Australia of a famous win.
Both batsmen showcased outstanding fortitude in the middle, despite facing a barrage of short-pitched deliveries to save the Test match for India. Tim Paine was seemingly rattled with the defiant partnership, and in an attempt to get under the skin of R Ashwin, attempted to sledge the cricketer. The wicketkeeper was seen hurling abuses at the star spinner, and also arrogantly invited him for the final Test at Gabba.

Australia has a fabulous record at the venue, and they had not lost a single Test match in Brisbane since 1988. The highlight of the 'Tim Paine sledging' incident was when the glovesman mentioned that he cannot wait to see the Indian team at the Gabba. R Ashwin responded to the statement by mentioning that when Tim Paine visits India, that would be the 36-year-old's last tour.
