After the 3-0 loss against New Zealand at home, Team India needed a good result in Australia to revive their World Test Championship campaign. However, Rohit Sharma & Co. failed to come up with a good performance as Australia thoroughly dominated Team India.
In the Boxing Day Test at the MCG, Australia beat India by 184 runs to take the lead in the series for the first time. India's performance did not improve much in the fifth Test as well.
