Australia's Cummins fires new warning for India after beating them by 10 wickets in second Test

After India was left defeated in second match of ongoing test series, Pat Cummins warned India that Australia are pumped up and back to their best as they look to carry the momentum from a commanding 10-wicket win on Sunday into the next Test in Brisbane.

"That's the kind of team that I remember, and how we want to play our cricket. So really satisfying. The defeat in Perth and negative media coverage made their eighth consecutive pink-ball win in Adelaide taste even better," skipper Cummins said.

After being thumped by 295 runs in Perth, Australia responded to the loss at Adelaide to wipe out Rohit Sharma's men inside three days and leave the five-match series evenly poised at 1-1. They did so without injured frontline bowler Josh Hazlewood, who appears on track to play the third Test at the Gabba starting on Saturday.

"Great week, great to level the series. You know, I think we were back to our best," reported AFP quoting skipper Cummins, who took 5-57 and seven wickets for the match.

"I think being one down, no doubt there's a little bit more on it, trying to level up the series," he said.

"And, you know, you get a bit more pumped up for wickets. It's a big series, every Test match is big, every wicket is pretty big. So it's pretty pumped out there."

After bowling out India for 180 in the first innings, Australia slammed 337 in reply to pile pressure on the visitors, with Travis Head's whirlwind 140 a game-changer.

Australia topped the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) standings while India slipped to number three after the visitors succumbed to a 10-wicket loss to Aussies during the second Test at Adelaide Oval.

This is also Australia's eighth win day/night Tests in Adelaide, making it eight out of eight at the venue. Overall, they have won 12 day/night Tests out of 13.

For Rohit Sharma, this was his fourth successive defeat as India's Test captain.
