The hosts got the series off to a good start with a comprehensive win over the tourists at Adelaide. In that game, India was shot out for 36. The morale of the team was low and to add to their woes - their premier batsman Virat Kohli left for India on paternity leave. At MCG - during the Boxing Day Test - the Ajinkya Rahane-led side buried the ghosts of Adelaide as they thrashed the hosts by eight wickets to level the series. Rahane led from the front as he hit a century and helped India take the lead in the first essay. The bowlers also stood up to the task and delivered. The pacers and the spinners worked well in tandem to bowl the hosts out cheaply in both innings. Newly-appointed vice-captain Rohit Sharma is set to make a comeback to the side after regaining complete fitness. His comeback will bolster the batting unit. There are also speculations that T. Natarajan may get to make his Test debut. The third Test at the iconic SCG starts on January 7.
