India were bundled out for their lowest-ever Test score of 36 in their second innings as Australia claimed an eight-wicket win in the pink-ball Test to take a 1-0 lead in the series.
Asked if India could bounce back after losing the first Test, Waugh said: "No hope, no hope.
"I thought Adelaide was the Test that they could win on paper and with Virat Kohli here for just the one Test. I thought the conditions would suit them.
"I just can''t see how they can bounce back (after) Australia whitewashed them on the third day. So ''no'' is the answer – four-nil to Australia," he said on Fox Cricket.
Former Australia wicketkeeper Brad Haddin too had said the opening day/night Test was India''s best chance in the ongoing series and it will be very difficult for the visitors to script a turnaround.
The second Test begins in Melbourne on December 26.
