We will review why batters are failing in 3rd innings of Test matches: Dravid

The Indian team, under Dravid's tutelage, has lost their last three overseas Test matches two in South Africa and one in Birmingham.

They failed to defend a whopping 378-run target against England on Tuesday. 

India scored 266 in their second innings in Johannesburg, 198 in Cape Town and 245 in Birmingham, which has been effectively third innings of a Test match.

In all these three games, India failed to defend targets like 240, 212 and now 378.

Asked how he plans to analyse, the Indian coach gave a glimpse of his humorous side.
