India vs Australia: 'Never ever, ever underestimate the Indians,' says Justin Langer after suffering series defeat

Outplayed by an inexperienced and injury-plagued India, a shocked Australia head coach Justin Langer on Tuesday said one massive lesson that he has learnt from the setback is to "never ever, ever underestimate" the "really tough" players from that country.

A visibly shaken Langer lauded India for the lion-hearted effort to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2-1 despite playing with a second-string side, especially after being decimated inside three days in the series-opener in Adelaide. That loss included India's lowest-ever Test score of 36 in the second innings.

"It was an incredible Test series and in the end there is always a winner or a loser. Today Test cricket is the winner. It's gonna hurt us big time. India deserved full credit. They have been outstanding but we have learnt lessons from it," Langer told Channel 7.

"First, you can never take anything for granted, second never ever, ever underestimate the Indians. There are 1.5 billions Indians and if you play in that first eleven you got to be really tough, don't you?"

Langer said the fightback after the Adelaide debacle was nothing short of remarkable especially after injury-forced ouster of big players like Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja.

India did the unimaginable at the Gabba on Tuesday to register a historic three wicket win against Australia on the fifth day of the series-deciding Test, Chasing a record target of 328 at the venue, a severely depleted Idndina
team went past the finishing line with 18 balls to spare on the final day.

Rishab Pant(89 not out off 138 balls) showcased his breathtaking strokeplay to secure the win for the vistors, thereby ending Australia's 32 year old unbeaten run at the 'Fortress Gabba'
