Brisbane: At the end of the Adelaide Test, India's stand-in skipper Virat Kohli stated, "They (Australia) never let the tail bat, so you never know how they batted. You can’t analyse or comment on something."

Three days into the second Test, Kohli and his teammates were made aware of the potency of the Australian tail as the last five wickets added 273 runs. On the other hand, the last five Indian wickets have made a total of 202 runs in three completed India innings.
