Rohit Sharma's men, who endured a rare home series defeat -- 0-3 to the visiting New Zealand, started the tour Down Under on a confident note. They beat the Aussies in the Perth opener.
But, things took a drastic turn. They lost in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney. Besides losing the BGT series, the defeats also meant India's minimal chance of sealing a spot in the ICC World Test Championship final ended.
The futures of Rohit and Virat Kohli are also up in the air after the former 'opted out' of the Sydney Test. Kohli's batting average has dipped and ex-cricketers have urged the BCCI selectors to look beyond the veteran pros.

"See, I can't talk about the future of any player, it's up to them as well. But yes, what I can say is that they still have the hunger, they still have the passion, they're tough people and hopefully they can continue to take Indian cricket forward," he said.
"...ultimately whatever they plan, they will plan for the best interest of Indian cricket."
Gambhir further added that he wanted the star duo to do some soul-searching as to where they stand.
"First of all, every individual knows where their game and hunger is. That is the most important thing for any sport and any profession.
"It is not just about the sport, how hungry you are, how passionate you are and whether the team is moving forward with your contributions or not," he pointed out. I need to be fair to everyone."
