One bad result can change the psyche of a team. India's capitulation in the second innings of the opening day-night Test at Adelaide have cast doubts over whether the visitors will be able to compete well in the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

It's not just their meek surrender (bowled out for 36) which is cause for concern ahead of the Boxing Day Test at Melbourne. Skipper Virat Kohli is on paternity leave while ace pacer Mohammed Shami has been ruled out of the series with a fractured wrist. The visitors were already without their most experienced pacer, Ishant Sharma.
