The Indian cricket team has already reached Australia and attacked the opposition team in their first Test at home. It was expected that if the Australian team plays at home, the pressure will be on Team India, but the opposite is happening. The Indian team could not do anything special in batting, but when it came to bowling, India stepped up and showed their game. The day which the Australian team had not seen at home for the last eight years had to be seen today against India. In a way, this is a shameful day for Australia.
Jasprit Bumrah decided to bat first
Indian team captain Jasprit Bumrah today won the toss and decided to bat first. When the Indian team was bowled out for a small score, it seemed that Bumrah’s decision had gone wrong. But when the Indian bowling caught fire, it seemed that Bumrah was right. While the Indian team could score only 150 runs, Australia lost 5 wickets before scoring 40 runs. Even after this, Australia’s wickets continued to fall.
Australia lost 5 wickets before 40 runs
Statistically speaking, this is the second time since 1980 that this has happened to an Australian team, playing a Test match at home and losing its first 5 wickets before reaching 40 runs. Earlier in the year 2018, South Africa also did the same. In that match, the Australian team completely surrendered against South Africa. Then in the match played in Hobart, Australia lost 5 wickets for just 17 runs. Against India, Australia has lost 5 wickets for 38 runs. Meanwhile, his sixth wicket also fell by the time the team reached 50 runs.
Bumrah attacked from the very first over
Jasprit Bumrah took the lead when Team India started bowling. Bumrah played a big role in destroying Australia’s top order. He took three wickets back to back. It also included sending Steve Smith to the pavilion on the Golden Duck. Mohammad Siraj could not bowl well from the other end, so the captain handed over the bowling to Harshit Rana. He gave the Indian team a big win by dismissing Travis Head. After this, when Siraj came again in the second spell, he bagged two wickets by holding the right end and put the Australian team on the back foot.
