Cummins, during the post-match presentation ceremony of the Delhi Test, came down heavily on his Australia side for letting the opportunity to level the series slip despite being ahead in the match.

“Disappointed, we were ahead of the game but we slipped. We need a review on what could have been done different,” Cummins had said during the post-match presentation ceremony.

“Everyone controls their own game, some balls just have your name. But we need a review on the shot choice, did we do things right? Both games were disappointing, this one in particular. We were ahead in the game and that doesn’t happen often in India. This loss hurts.”
