INDORE, India :Australia bundled out India for 109 and batted resolutely to reach 156 for four in reply, giving the home side a taste of their own medicine on a raging turner in Indore on Wednesday.
Star India batter Virat Kohli was seen having a fun time with head coach Rahul Dravid on Day 1 of the ongoing third Test against Australia. Kohli, who top-scored for India with his knock of 22, looked positive in his knock, but was undone by Todd Murphy's delivery, which kept low and hit him on the pads. After being dismissed, Kohli was seen having a chat with Dravid, who couldn't control his laughter after seeing the former India captain's antics. The interesting conversation was caught on camera on Day 1.
INDORE, India :Matt Kuhnemann and Nathan Lyon claimed three wickets apiece to reduce India to 84 for seven on day one of the third test on Wednesday, but Australia would have their own anxiety about batting on a spinner's paradise in Indore.
With India 2-0 up in the series, captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted the bat against Australia in the third Test at the Holkar Stadium in Indore on Wednesday. The hosts made two changes, with out-of-form opener KL Rahul losing his place in the playing XI to youngster Shuman Gill. Rahul, who scored just 38 runs in the first two Tests of the series, has been under the scanner as several current and former players had questioned his place in the team. After Rahul was dropped from the team, former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar suggested that the team management made the right decision.
India captain Rohit Sharma received multiple reprieves as Australia made two huge DRS blunders on Day 1 of the ongoing third Test at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. The incident happened on the first ball of the match as Rohit had knicked Mitchell Starc's delivery behind to Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey. On the fourth ball, Starc's inswinging delivery had clipped Rohit's pad. The replay showed that Rohit was out on both occasions. While Starc made a half-hearted appeal on both occasions, Australia stand-in captain Steve Smith decided against taking the DRS.
INDORE, India : India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss for the first time in the home series against Australia and elected to bat in the third test against the beleaguered tourists in Indore on Wednesday.
Former Australian pacer Michael Kasprowicz wants his side to play to its strengths and go for a three-pronged pace attack in Mitchell Starc, Cameron Green and Scott Boland for the third Test against India at Indore beginning on Wednesday. Australia had gone into the second Test in New Delhi with just one pacer in skipper Pat Cummins and three specialist spinners and still lost the match by six wickets to concede a series-retaining 0-2 lead to India.
Eyeing a place in the World Test Championship (WTC) final, India hold a 2-0 lead in the four-match series, heading into the third Test against Australia at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. However, the hosts face a selection dilemma with opening batter KL Rahul going through a rough patch. Rahul, who was named vice-captain for the first two Tests, has struggled to score runs so far, could be dropped to make way for the in-form Shubman Gill, who has showcased breathtaking form since the start of the year. Australia, on the other hand, could be boosted by the possible returns of Cameron Green and Mitchell Starc. However, the hosts will be without the services of captain Pat Cummins and veteran batter David Warner..
