Cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar threw his weight behind the Indian team and said that the Virat Kohli-led side will bounce back from the big defeat against Australia in the first Test in Pune.
India lost to Australia by a huge 333-run margin in the first Test failing to score even 110 runs in both innings.
The loss does not mean that the series is lost, the series is still wide open. Knowing the spirit of the Indian team I know that they will fight back hard. Australian team also knows about it because when we beat them, we also knew that they are going to come back at us really hard. I have no doubt that the Indian team is going to come back and compete hard.Sachin Tendulkar

There are good moments and there are tough moments but it is all about how you stand back on your feet again and start competing. That is what makes the sport interesting. That is what sportspersons play for.Sachin Tendulkar
