MS Dhoni has claimed that he is expecting his young India side to make progress in the near future despite their struggles against Australia in recent weeks.
Defeats in the first two matches have put India on the brink of another Test series loss, but Dhoni is confident that they will find their best form sooner rather than later.
"The exciting thing is we have competed," India's captain told reporters. "What's really important is it can turn at any point of time.
"It's just a matter of time. It's exciting to see the youngsters putting in a fight. It will turn out to be a very consistent side.
"There's plenty of areas we're showing improvement, but we're still not crossing the line. We need to give it a bit more time. Once they start crossing that line, once they harness that aggression in the right channel you'll see plenty of good results from this side."
The third Test match starts on Christmas night in Melbourne.
