In the Test match played at Brisbane's Gaba ground, India defeated Australia by three wickets and retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. India defeated Australia 2–1 in the four-match Test series on their own soil for the second time in a row. He said in an interview, "Part of the challenge of playing against India is they're very good at niggling you and trying to distract you with stuff that doesn't really matter and there were times in that series where we fell for that," Paine said while speaking at a function for the Chappell Foundation at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on Wednesday night, according to news.com.au. "The classic example was when they said they weren't going to the Gabba so we didn't know where we were going. They're very good at creating these sideshows and we took our eye off the ball." The 36-year-old Paine has also indicated that if his team defeats England in the Ashes cricket series this year, he will take over from captaincy. He is under pressure to step down from the captaincy after Australia's defeat in the home series against the Indian team. After Paine's statement, he is being trolled a lot on social media platforms.
