#2 India absolutely sloppy in the field
The Indian team under Virat Kohli have shown incredible athleticism in the field over the last couple of months. The athleticism, coupled with the intensity of the skipper has led to the team being absolutely deadly in the field.
Australia were unbelievable while fielding in the first innings, taking a number of stunning catches. On a pitch that is turning square, India would have to take their catches as well.
On day 2, India would end up dropping 4 catches. Murali Vijay and Abhinav Mukund would be the culprits on two occasions each.
While Matt Renshaw was dropped once, skipper Steven Smith was dropped an inexcusable three times. He would go on to punish India.
