Scenario after 1st innings of Test
When the Indian team was all out for 150 runs, it looked like the Australian team was much ahead of this match, but the Indian bowlers turned the tables around. Despite scoring 150 runs, Team India can now take the lead in the first innings. All 17 wickets on the first day were taken by fast bowlers.
The Australian team, which came to bat in reply to India’s 150 runs, had a very bad start. With the help of two fours in 13 balls, Nathan McSweeney was sent back without facing any proper ball at his debut Test after scoring just 10 runs. Then Usman Khawaja also returned to the pavilion for 08 scores. Then, Steve Smith, who came to bat at number four, could not open his account. Jasprit Bumrah sent all three to the pavilion.
After losing three wickets for 19 runs, the Australian fans were expecting a heavy innings from Travis Head and Marron Labuschagne, but the Indian bowlers did not allow this to happen. Fast bowler Harshit Rana, who played his maiden Test, sent Travis Head out. He scored 11 runs, including two fours, and returned to the pavilion. Then Mitchell Marsh also stepped out after hitting six runs. Marnus Labuschagne could also score only two runs in 52 balls and was out. Siraj sent both of them to the pavilion.
Wickets kept falling continuously on one side, but wicketkeeper-batsman Alex Carey stood firm from the other end. He is unbeaten on 19 runs with the help of three fours. Captain Pat Cummins was out after scoring three runs, which was the last wicket of the first day. Mitchell Starc along with Carey remained unbeaten on six runs.
