NEW DELHI :India hammered Australia inside three days for the second time in a fortnight to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on Sunday and are on the verge of qualifying for the World Test Championship (WTC) final in June.
Going into the morning session of the third day, Australia had a slight upper hand with a 62-run lead and nine wickets in hand, promising an exciting finish in front of a 20,000 plus Test loving crowd.The visitors were expected to continue their aggressive approach they showed on Saturday evening but overemphasis on the sweep shot brought about their dramatic downfall as they lost nine wickets for 52 runs in 19.1 overs on a balmy Sunday morning.
Ravindra Jadeja bowled a sensational spell in the morning session on Day 3 of the second Test to trigger an astonishing Australian collapse in their second innings. Jadeja returned figures of 7 for 42 as he registered his career best figures in the longest format.The 34-year-old was the wrecker-in-chief as Australia lost 9 wickets for just 52 runs in just over 90 minutes of play. Claiming his 12th Test fifer, Jadeja ran through the Aussie batting order, bagging six wickets in the session to put India on top.
NEW DELHI : Ravindra Jadeja claimed a career-best 7-42 and combined with Ravichandran Ashwin to bundle out Australia for 113 and put India on course for a comprehensive victory in the second test on Sunday.
Veteran India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin on Friday achieved multiple milestones on Day 1 of the second Test against Australia. Ashwin, who crossed the landmark of 450 Test wickets in the last match, has now become only the 2nd Indian bowler to pick up 100 wickets in Tests against Australia. The 34-year-old dismissed Alex Carey (0) to achieve the feat. Former India captain Anil Kumble (111) is the only other bowler with 100 or more scalps against Australia in the longest format of the game.
Gritty half-centuries from Usman Khawaja and Peter Handscomb guided Australia to a fighting 263 all out against inspired Indian bowlers on Friday's opening day of the second Test.
Ravindra Jadeja added another feather to his already illustrious career by becoming the fastest Indian cricketer to score 2500 runs and take 250 wickets in Tests. The feat was achieved during Day 1 of the Test encounter between India and Australia when KL Rahul pulled off a blinder to dismiss the in-form Usman Khawaja. Jadeja was able to reach the milestone in his 62nd Test match – three matches ahead of India legend Kapil Dev who did it in 65 games. Overall, Jadeja claimed the second spot just behind legendary England all-rounder Ian Botham who achieved this impressive feat in just 55 matches.
NEW DELHI : Australia brought back Travis Head and picked debutant Matt Kuhnemann as their third spinner in a bold selection gamble for the second test against India on Friday.
