India struggled to bat in both innings and made five runs less in the second innings of the Pink Ball Test match against Australia at Adelaide Oval which resulted in a 10-wicket loss on Day 3 of the match on Sunday. (Day 3 Highlights | More Cricket News)

Day 3 started with the wicket of overnight batter Rishabh Pant. After that, Australia kept on taking wickets at regular intervals. Nitish Kumar Reddy fought from one end and helped India take some lead in the game.

But he also got caught at third man when Pat Cummins trapped him for that shot. Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah added some runs as India set a modest target of 19 runs for Australia which Nathan McSweeney and Usman Khawaja achieved in no time.

This is Australia's 12th win in 13 Day-Night (Pink Ball) matches. They have a 100 per cent track record at Adelaide with Pink Ball. India, on the other hand, suffered again at Adelaide Oval.

India's second innings lasted only 36.5 overs, with skipper Pat Cummins effectively using the short ball to claim 5 wickets for 57 runs. Scott Boland inflicted early damage with figures of 3 for 51, while Mitchell Starc contributed with 2 for 60, taking crucial wickets.

The dominance of the three premier fast bowlers was such that Cummins didn't even need to call upon Mitchell Marsh and Nathan Lyon in the second innings. In fact, the specialist spinner and all-rounder bowled just five overs between them throughout the entire match.

Following a comfortable 295-run victory in Perth, the Indian batting unit will be disheartened to realize that they survived a total of only 81 overs across both innings—barely enough for a full day of Test match batting.

The match highlighted two poor batting efforts, particularly from the senior-most players, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who both looked well past their best. Jasprit Bumrah gave his all but lacked a potent bowling partner at the other end.

Had India managed to pull off a miraculous comeback in this game, it would have been remarkable. However, Starc, the undisputed "OG" of Pink-Ball Tests with 74 victims to his name, bowled a delivery on the length that Rishabh Pant (28) failed to fully commit to while jabbing at the ball. The easy catch was duly accepted by Steve Smith positioned at the second slip.

Reddy continues to show that a positive attitude and determination can sometimes outweigh technical skills.

In the first two Tests, Reddy's commitment and ability to endure have been exemplary. Although he hasn't yet scored a fifty, his scores of 41, 37 not out, 42, and 42 show a lot of promise for the future. His seam-up wicket-to-wicket bowling can only improve if he remains with the national team.

However, it was tough to face the Pink Kookaburra, as Ravichandran Ashwin fell while attempting to hook Pat Cummins.

Cummins then completed Harshit Rana's misery with a short ball that could have caused serious injury, and it didn't take long for him to finish off the tail.
