"It was amazing to see the Indian crowds having travelled from all parts of the globe to come experience Test cricket at its best at the ‘G (MCG)," Shastri observed.
"Unfortunately for them, some poor shot selection on either side of the middle session on the final day cost India the game. And probably has ensured that India may have lost their grip on the Border Gavaskar Trophy with one Test to go,” he added.

“There will be a few of other second-innings dismissals that will be scrutinised in India as well, involving two senior players and a youngster. Three very loose shots. It doesn’t help when one of it involved the captain who is struggling," Shastri explained.
Rishabh Pant's dismissal was the turning point
While Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's poor form continued in Melbourne, Rishabh Pant's release shot came under a lot of scrutiny when he tried to attempt a big shot off Travis Head's half-tracker but was caught in the deep.
Pant's wicket was the turning point as India started losing wickets in clusters from that point. All three players, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Rishabh Pant have had a disappointing series with the bat with Rohit having scored the fewest runs among them.
