On a wet outfield and on a pitch not aiding turn, it was Adam Zampa that had turned to match in Australia favour. The leg-spinner has endured some tough times in recent times, but saved his best for India by finishing with figures of 4-0-22-2.

Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan praised Zampa's performance, but at the same time believed his team can conjure better plans against the wrist spinner. "Zampa was really influential in this match and bowled well. He had superb control and accuracy," said Dhawan.
