India posted scores of 180 and 175, which was never going to be enough as Australia almost handed the visitors an innings defeat before Nitish Reddy helped his side earn a slender lead of 18 runs to make the hosts bat for the second time. The defeat meant that India dropped down a couple of places to third on the WTC points table.  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/topic\/rohit-sharma\" rel=\"noopener\">Rohit Sharma<\/a> returned to lead the Indian team in Adelaide after missing the Perth Test and this was the side&#8217;s fourth consecutive defeat in the format under him.
