The first Test match between India and Australia is being played at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. The Australian captain won the toss and chose to bat first. Afterwards, Australia scored 177 runs in their first innings.
Indian spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin took 8 wickets together against Australia. After the injury, Ravindra Jadeja returned and took 5 wickets to completely rattle Australia’s batting order. In response, the Indian team has scored 151 runs with the loss of 3 wickets until lunch break on the second day.
The Indian team is still 26 runs behind the score of the first innings of Australia. Indian captain Rohit Sharma is making 85 runs. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli is scoring 12 runs off 25 balls. In the 48 overs of the innings, a deficit was seen in the partnership between Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
Virat Kohli wanted to take a run by playing the ball but later decided not to. Whoa, what a mix-up! Kohli nudges the ball towards midwicket, takes a couple of steps, and signals for a single. However, he changes his mind, leaving Rohit in a tricky situation.
Rohit has to retreat from halfway down the pitch. The bowler makes a throw at the bowler’s end, but it misses the stumps, giving Rohit just enough time to slide back to the crease with a dive. Phew, that was a close call
