It meant that India have now lost back-to-back Test series, against New Zealand at home, and then Australia away.

However, this has also caused Team India to achieve a rare low.

For the first time in 47 years, India have lost three Tests in two consecutive series.

The last time this happened was when they lost 3-1 at home to England in 1976/77 and then 3-2 to Australia away in 1977/78.
