'Energy is very good': Sundar on team's mood after final session

India's mini batting collapse at the end of the second day's play that saw the dismissals of the set pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli, could be the turnaround the Australians wanted to go 2-1 up in the Border-Gavaskar series, but India's off-spinning all-rounder Washington Sundar believes that the tourists will bounce back strongly despite losing half their side at the MCG on Friday.

"We will still come back and continue to fight tomorrow morning. Energy is very good in the dressing room. We are all positive. There's a long time in the game as well, there's three days and a lot of overs to play. It will be just about us and trying to fight really hard and get things done for the team," Sundar said at the presser after the day's play.

In the context of the series and the ICC World Test Championship, the final hour of play on Day 2 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground could prove pivotal for India's fortunes. After enduring a long grind to bowl out Australia for 474 earlier in the day, India were briefly undone by the loss of wickets of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul early. However, the visitors seized control with Jaiswal and Kohli crafting a steady 102-run partnership in the second session.
