Usman Khawaja 3
Australia needed him to be their batting bedrock but, apart from an innings in Perth, he has not stepped up.

Shaun Marsh 4
Undone by Jasprit Bumrah both times. Needs a big score to make sure he does not make way for David Warner and Steve Smith.

Travis Head 4
Showing promise but lapses of concentration are proving costly. Worth persevering with.

Mitchell Marsh 2
Bowled admirably but has lost his way with the bat. Axe looms.

Tim Paine 5
Not his usual high standards with the gloves though this was not a keeper's pitch. Showed usual fight with the bat.

Pat Cummins 9.5
Showed the way with career-best returns with bat and ball, but not enough followed.

Mitchell Starc 6
Fought hard in tough going but where is the swing that made him such a dangerous player?

Nathan Lyon 4
Slim pickings on a pitch lacking bounce for Australia's Mr Reliable.

Josh Hazlewood 6.5
Effort and application was there as usual but got nothing out of a dead track.

INDIA

Hanuma Vihari 4
Scores of 8 and 13 were praised by Kohli for blunting the new ball.

Mayank Agarwal 6
A half-century on debut helped lay a winning platform.

Chesteshwar Pujara 8
The ultimate batting rock.

Virat Kohli 7
His 170-run partnership with Pujara was the difference.

Ajinkya Rahane 5
A handy first-innings knock.

Rohit Sharma 6
An unbeaten half-century in the first innings kept Australia in the field.

Rishabh Pant 6
Has 20 catches in the series - the most ever by an Indian gloveman.

Ravindra Jadeja 7
Five wickets for the match was an excellent return.

Mohammed Shami 6
Lacked the potency he had in Perth.

Ishant Sharma 6
Could have had more reward.

Jasprit Bumrah 9
Man of the match. Turned the contest on day three.
