Adelaide, Australia: Skipper Rohit Sharma vowed that India will rebound against Australia in Brisbane and refuses to believe their heavy defeat in the second Test on Sunday will leave a mental "scar".

The hosts won the day-nighter in Adelaide by 10 wickets to level the series 1-1 and with less than a week before they meet again at the Gabba, India are racing against the clock to fix what went wrong.

Rohit attributed the demoralising loss to sub-standard batting, but brushed off the scale of the defeat.

"Firstly, it's not a (mental) scar, it's just we've lost a Test match," he said.

"We didn't play well enough. So it's important in this short time that we have before the next Test match just to figure out certain things.
