The first day of the first Test match between India and Australia being played in Nagpur was completely in India’s favor. The Indian bowlers first restricted Australia to 177 runs and then, until the end of play, India strengthened their position by making 77 runs for the loss of 1 wicket.
On the first day, heroes were Ravindra Jadeja and Rohit Sharma. Jadeja took five wickets while Rohit scored 56 runs. In addition to these two players, former captain Virat Kohli is also in the discussion. Let us tell you why Kohli is talking about Jadeja’s excellent bowling and Rohit’s magnificent batting.
Former captain Virat Kohli is considered a great fielder and his catching is almost exceptional, but in the 15th over of the match, Steve Smith’s catch was missed by Kohli. Kohli was angry about this. However, Kohli’s missed catch did not cost India much and Jadeja hit a bold shot to score 37, but if Kohli had caught that catch, Australia may not have even reached 150.
During the lunch break of the match, Virat Kohli was seen talking to the head coach Rahul Dravid and the batting coach, Paras Mhambrey. It is uncertain what Kohli discussed with the coaches, but it can be assumed that it was related to his fielding. The conversation between Kohli, Paras Mhambrey and Dravid has been widely circulated on social media.
Rahul’s poor form continued in this match as well, as he wasn’t able to leave it behind. He was given an opportunity to play in place of the in-form Gill but failed to make the most of it and scored 20 runs in 71 balls. The focus will shift to the captain Rohit Sharma tomorrow, who is now unbeaten with a score of 56. It remains to be seen whether he can turn his test career’s 9th decade around or not.
