India are confident they can end a string of batting collapses in their second innings and set Australia a competitive target to chase in the second Test, batsman Cheteshwar Pujara said on Sunday.

"We will have a different game plan in the second innings and at the same time we are confident of doing well. We will put up a better show in the next innings," Pujara said.

"I think the most important thing was we didn't get a good partnership. When we had partnerships things were getting easy for us but we kept on losing wickets," Pujara, India's number three batsman, told reporters.

"I think there is nothing wrong with the Indian batting line-up and we are known to play spinners well. Apart from the last three innings, we have been batting well."

Pujara said India were satisfied on Sunday with the efforts from their bowlers, who stopped Australia from scoring freely and gave away 197 runs in 90 overs on the second day.

"In a way, it was a victory for us and we bowled tight lines. Lengths were very good from the fast bowlers. We bowled well and took six wickets but they didn't score many runs."
