Australia opener Nathan McSweeney says he hopes to "throw a few more punches" at India quick Jasprit Bumrah in the third Test which starts at the Gabba on Saturday (00:20 GMT).
McSweeney, 25, has been dismissed by Bumrah three times in four knocks so far and has only managed to score nine runs against him.
Bumrah has 12 wickets in the two Tests including an unplayable spell of 5-30 in India's 295-run win in the first Test in Perth, while Australia's Mitchell Starc has 11 wickets as the hosts dominated the pink ball Test in Adelaide.
But McSweeney hopes the challenge posed by the "unique" Bumrah will serve him well for the rest of the series and his career.

Harry Brook has moved above England team-mate Joe Root to become the number one Test batter in the world rankings.
The 25-year-old has overtaken Root after scoring 171 in the first Test of England's current tour of New Zealand and following it up with scores of 123 and 55 in the second Test in Wellington to give him a ranking score of 898.
Root, who replaced New Zealand's Kane Williamson at the top of the International Cricket Council rankings in July, is just one point behind Brook on 897 and could take back his crown when the third Test starts in Hamilton on 14 December.

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca says it is "not normal" for a player to make the 16-hour round trip to Kazakhstan for Thursday's Conference League match and then play on Sunday night against Brentford.
The Blues face an eight-hour flight for the 3,700-mile (6,000km) journey to Almaty, in the south of the country, where they will play Astana because of renovations to their home stadium in the Kazakhstan capital 600 miles away.
Chelsea will land back in London on Friday morning, before preparing to face Brentford in the Premier League at 19:00 GMT on Sunday, with the Blues currently second place, four points behind Liverpool.
"Eight hours [one way] is not a normal time [to travel] for a game, but we have to go there, we have to play and we want to try to do our best, thinking also about the next game," said Maresca, whose side are top of the Conference League table with four wins from four.
Chelsea face an extended flight time because the plane needs to take a non-direct route away from conflict zones in Ukraine, Russia and Syria.

Police fear former England rugby international Tom Voyce has died after he went missing in an area of Northumberland which was flooded during Storm Darragh.
Northumbria Police began its search on Sunday lunchtime when the 43-year-old did not return home from an evening with friends.
It is suspected Mr Voyce attempted to cross Abberwick Ford, near Alnwick, in his car which was then pulled along by the current of the river.
Officers have since recovered the vehicle, but a force spokesperson said: "It is believed in his attempts to escape he has been swept away and tragically died."

2024-25 NFL Season
in Sports and Fitness
The Cincinnati Bengals capitalised on a late Dallas Cowboys blunder to end their three-game NFL losing streak and win 27-20 in Texas on Monday.
With less than two minutes to play and the score 20-20, the Cowboys deflected a punt but Amani Oruwariye touched the ball to make it live, before it was recovered by the Bengals.
Three plays later, quarterback Joe Burrow found receiver Ja'Marr Chase for a 40-yard, game-winning touchdown.
