India's famed batting line-up caved in once again in the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT), and it proved decisive as the Australians took a 2-1 lead by winning the fourth Test in Melbourne by 284 runs on Monday.
Other than Yashasvi Jaiswal's 84, none of the Indian batters could stay on the crease long enough to force a draw. Only during the 88-run partnership between Jaiswal and Pant (30) did India look to be moving towards safety, but a rush of blood from the Indian wicketkeeper saw him gifting his wicket away to part-time spinner Travis Head with an unnecessary pull shot.
