India has lost the series to an in form Australian side despite good showing with the bat.
As always Indian bowling remains a concern on every Australian tour. But this time around the team should have prepared itself for any eventuality like the injury to paceman Shami.
But I don't think any drastic changes are required for the team.
Also Australia's bowling is also good I should say, keeping in check any letting off of Indian batsmen to score freely.
In a way the inexperienced Aussie attack of Hastings, Paris, Richardson, Boland, Hazlewood and Faulkner managed to restrict Indian scores at around 300 run mark, thus making it easier for Australia batsmen to chase down the total with comfort.
Had India added those crucial 20-25 odd runs more, then surely Australia batsmen would have come under serious pressure.
Overall I think India played well, and lost out only in some quarters, like Skipper Dhoni lost out on one or two occasions to capitalise the solid platform India top order provided.
I think India should continue to play as it was, but I think it will be interesting to see the motivation of the players after losing the series after putting up such good huge totals on the board for the team.
Rohit Sharma did exceptionally well, scoring back to back centuries. Virat Kohli played gem of a knock when India needed it the most at MCG. Rahane was always there with the bat keeping the rate up for the team.
It is only on a day all the bowling, batting and fielding clicks for India, that India could win against a thoroughly professional side like Australia.
Talent wise India I think India is far superior than Australia, but to win the game you should need to perform as a team.
