I was looking at the test bowling averages for Indian bowlers:

Jasprit Bumrah: 19.42
Mohammed Siraj: 30.87
Prasidh Krishna: 26.00
Mohammed Shami: 27.71
Shardul Thakur: 28.38
Ravindra Jadeja: 24.10
Ravichandran Ashwin: 24.00
Washington Sundar: 25.20
Mukesh Kumar: 25.57

Out of these bowlers, Siraj is the only one with a >30 average. I am not sure how he is able to find an automatic spot in the playing XI every time. Perhaps close relations with Kohli and Rohit helps.

Maybe back home Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli can be held accountable for the air of inclusion in Mohammad Siraj's squad. A bowler must be held accountable for scoring runs at an economic rate of over 30 which does not reflect the bowling power and skill of a bowler. Today's match is a definite loss and Australia will win if they can add 25 runs in the conditions of the Test so far. Not only will India's bowlers be held accountable for their bowling, but some of the senior players, including Virat Kohli, will also be held accountable for their batting.

One thing is true that India's batsmen have played worst compared to India's bowlers, especially the senior players of their team. At the moment, India's senior players, i.e. the senior batsmen of their team, are not playing well. Despite having so many of India's best batsmen, only one batsman from their team scored a half-century. If Rishabh Pant had not scored 61 runs, India might have been all out for a much lower runs. The way Australian batsmen performed against India, I think Indian batsmen should learn from Australian batsmen how to bat well. We saw that in today's match too, the Australian cricket team won the Test match against India, meaning they won the fifth Test match against India.

In this prestigious Test series against Australia, India won only the first match while Australia won the remaining three matches although one match of the series was drawn. We have seen quite a lot of excitement throughout the series. Since the two parties were almost equal in terms of strength, neither side spoke at all.
Indian bowlers showed aggression towards Australian batsmen in second innings Australia bowlers again showed aggression towards Indian batsmen which made this series more interesting. But if India could have won the fifth test match then this series would have been a draw but it was not like that.
