It could have been another successful chase India as they did back in the day. I was hopeful that India will win till Hardik was there. He played an extraordinary match although he couldn't end it well.
What chase are you talking about? No team has chased a target greater than 334 or something successfully on that ground which is why India was in a bad position ever since Australia set that monstrous target up for them.
Also, expecting just Hardik to lead them to a win is silly. Australia had several players score centuries for them(Finch and Smith) while Warner and Maxwell scored well too.
On the other hand, Dhawan and Hardik were the only top Indian performers and none of them scored a century.
