India's 10-wicket defeat in the pink-ball Test against Australia in Adelaide on Sunday pushed them down to number three in the World Test Championship (WTC) standings, which will decide the two finalists to play in the summit clash next year in June at Lord's.
India could score just 180 in their first innings and then were left behind by 157 runs as the Aussies notched up 337 in reply, thanks to Travis Head's attacking 140 off 141 balls.
