Former Australia captain Mark Taylor reckons India’s best chance to bounce back from the Adelaide humiliation is to bat first and score plenty of runs in the Boxing Day Test starting here on Saturday.

“India’s best chance is to put runs on the board. They’ve still got some very fine players. Obviously (Virat) Kohli leaves a big hole in terms of batting and leadership, but they’ve still got (Cheteshwar) Pujara and (Ajinkya) Rahane,” Taylor told Wide World of Sports.

Taylor opined India’s potent bowling attack is capable of scalping 10 wickets if their batsmen put enough runs on the board
