Before this series, Warner had enjoyed a purple patch. In the three-Test series against Pakistan, he had smashed 356 runs at an average of 71. In ODIs in 2016, the left-hander had managed to smash seven centuries in 23 games, including a sequence of five in 10 games.

Warner’s struggles in India have not been in this series alone. Even in the 2013 tour, Warner had struggled to make an impact. In four Tests in that series, the left-hander managed only 195 runs at an average of 24.37. His scores in that series were 59, 23, 6, 26, 71, 2, 0, 8. The end result: Australia were whitewashed 4-0 for only the second time in their Test history.
