Trailing 0-2, Clarke warned India of a possible turnaround in the last two matches in Mohali (Mar 14-18) and Delhi (Mar 22-26).
"It is not in our nature to give up without a fight. We have every chance of making a comeback and levelling the series. We feel if we win one, we can win two," an optimistic Clarke said about his team's chances in the capital on Friday.
"Winning the next two Tests is our main focus. But obviously it is going to be tough as India are playing really good cricket at the moment."
After losing the opening Test in Chennai by eight wickets, the visitors slumped to another morale-crushing defeat when India humiliated them by an innings and 35 runs in the second Test in Hyderabad.
The Australian skipper graciously admitted that the hosts were a better side in the opening two Tests.
"No excuses for defeats. We were outplayed in all facets of the game. The credit must go to India. But we need to improve as team," Clarke said
"We have learnt from our mistakes in the first two games, and I feel we still have plenty of time to correct our flaws before the next game," he and added that the team lacks experience when it comes to playing in sub-continent conditions.
"Only four players of the current team have experience of playing Test matches in India," he said.
"The conditions here are tough and demanding. The culture, food, pitches, weather everything is different, but I guess that is the beauty of cricket.
"It is lot easier to play in your own backyard but that's what international cricket is all about," Clarke added.
"It is not in our nature to give up without a fight. We have every chance of making a comeback and levelling the series. We feel if we win one, we can win two."
