Australian quick Josh Hazlewood is warning his teammates of complacency against an Indian camp in sudden disarray.
Hazlewood says Australia should justifiably celebrate the eight-wicket hammering of India in the first Test in Adelaide.
India, after being bowled out for their lowest Test score - 36 - in the second innings, face the daunting task of trying to salvage the four-Test series without inspirational skipper Virat Kohli.
Kohli will soon return home to be at the birth of his first child.
The tourists also face fitness concerns over paceman Mohammed Shami, who had scans on a possible broken arm after being hit by a Pat Cummins delivery.
Adding to their woes, opening batsmen Prithvi Shaw (0, 4) and Mayank Agarwal (17, 9) are under the pump after failures in Adelaide.
But Hazlewood says Australia would be foolish to write off the Indians.
"Getting bowled out for 36 is going to leave a few headaches," Hazlewood said.
"It's obviously great to be one-up ... (but) it's a fresh start the next Test."
The squads travel to Melbourne for the second bout starting on Boxing Day with Australian opener David Warner hoping to return from a groin injury.
Warner will face fitness tests in his bid to re-unite with Joe Burns, who saved his Test skin with an unbeaten half-century in Australia's second innings.
Burns ended his form slump with 51no as Australia made light work of their 90-run target.
"It was a perfect scenario ... to be chasing a low score might have freed him up," Hazlewood said.
"They (India) set pretty attacking fields so there was plenty of gaps to get on a roll and get a bit of confidence back after his lean run."
Hazlewood, who took 5-8 in the India second-innings rout, also lauded captain Tim Paine's input to the Adelaide victory.
Paine top-scored in Australia's first innings with an unbeaten 73 and also took seven catches in a man-of-the-match display.
"He's batting as well as I've ever seen, he has got some good confidence going," Hazlewood said of Paine.
