Australia captain Steve Smith says his team are confident they can counter India's quality spin attack in their Champions Trophy semi-final in Dubai on Tuesday.
The hosts are seeking to avoid being swept 3-0 after New Zealand won the first two Tests to register their first Test series triumph in India.
After a surprising series defeat by New Zealand, India's skipper Rohit Sharma said undue expectation was being put on frontline spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja, as he called for more collective bowling efforts to win Test matches.
The Tigers started the second day with authority, bundling India out for 376, but the batting did not complement.
After Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja has called it quits from T20 internationals, bowing out on a high with the T20 World Cup 2024 trophy.
The 35-year-old is India's premier spin-bowling all-rounder, apart from being a gun fielder, and will be expected to play a key role in the T20 showpiece in the United States and West Indies, where the ball is likely to turn.
The performance from the veteran Jadeja comes as a welcome sign ahead of the T20 World Cup in June in the West Indies and the United States.
India named their 15-member squad and four travelling reserves for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 this week and skipper Rohit Sharma and chief selector Ajit Agarkar addressed a press conference to reveal the thinking behind the selection choices made.
He follows Kohli, Raina, Pollard and Rohit Sharma for most catches by a fielder in IPL.
“I’d like to dedicate this win to a special member of the CSK side, MS Dhoni. It feels amazing to win my fifth title in front of my home crowd. I’m from Gujarat, and it’s a special feeling,” he said after CSK pipped the Gujarat Titans by five wickets in a rain-marred fixture
Ashwin and Jadeja destroyed Australia's batting to set up a six-wicket victory in Delhi on Sunday and give India an unassailable 2-0 lead in the four-Test series
Jadeja claimed a career-best 7-42 as he and Ravichandran Ashwin (3-59) routed Australia for a paltry 113 in their second innings at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
The world number one side were crushed by an innings and 132 runs inside three days on a bone-dry pitch
The incident took place during the 46th over of Australia's first innings on Thursday when Jadeja took a substance from Mohammed Siraj's palm and appeared to rub it onto the index finger of his left hand.
The hosts took a commanding first-innings lead of 223 in Nagpur and then bowled out Australia for 91 in the second session to take a 1-0 lead in the four-match series.
India were 321-7 at stumps with all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja proving his worth for the second straight day of his international return with an unbeaten 66.
Jadeja returned figures of 5-47 and fellow spinner Ravichandran Ashwin took three wickets to bowl out Australia for 177 in the final session on a turning Nagpur pitch.
"If we are able to topple that mountain, that would be huge. I think if we can win in India, that would be bigger than an Ashes series," Australia batter Steve Smith said ahead of the first Test in Nagpur.
Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been ruled out of the Asia Cup Twenty20 tournament with a knee injury, the country's cricket board said Friday.
