Australian opener David Warner is concussed and will take no further part in the ongoing second Test against India, the team said Saturday ahead of the match's second day in New Delhi.
Australia were dealt a major blow on Day 2 of the second Test match against India in Delhi as David Warner was ruled out of the match after suffering a concussion. Matt Renshaw was named as his concussion substitute, Cricket Australia confirmed ahead of the day's play on Saturday. Warner was hit by a bouncer from Mohammed Siraj while batting on Day 1 and he did not take the field during India's innings later in the day. Warner's bad form in Test cricket continued as he was dismissed for just 15.
David Warner has been ruled out of the ongoing second Test against India at the Koltla after suffering a concussion when he was struck in the head while batting on Day 1, Australian media reported on Saturday.Matt Renshaw has been brought into the Australia team as a concussion substitute.Australia, who suffered a heavy defeat in the opening Test in Nagpur, were dismissed for 263 in their first innings in the 2nd Test on Friday.Warner faced a bouncer barrage from Mohammed Siraj and was hit twice - once on his arm and then on his helmet - needing medical assistance.
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.
David Warner has clearly looked out of touch but his opening partner Usman Khawaja believes that mere three innings is not big enough sample size to judge the Aussie veteran. India pacer Mohammed Shami has already dismissed Warner twice in the series with fuller length angled-in deliveries and questions over the 36-year-old's technique have been raised.Khawaja, who made an impressive 81 on the opening day of the second Test defended his opening partner saying that he is very confident of Warner's capabilities of bouncing back.“I have to kind of disagree with what you're saying. He hit two fours of Ashwin in the last game before he got out lbw so he was showing some aggression,” Khawaja said, when asked if Warner, whose stay looked painstaking during the 44 deliveries faced, needs to be pro-active.
Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin shared six wickets between them but pacer Mohammed Shami's four-for was the highlight on Day 1 of the second Test in the national capital as India bowled out Australia for 263. Shami, who relentlessly targetted the good length area at the start of the innings got rid of Aussie opener David Warner. He then dismissed middle-order batter Travis Head before cleaning up the tail with reverse swinging deliveries.At the close of play, Shami pointed out that the Indian conditions -- which are expected to be dominated by the spinners -- offer enough help to the pacers as well, provided they bowl in right areas."There is not a lot of difference you see with wickets in India. If you can get help with the new ball and can get the old ball to reverse... As a fast bowler, the main thing in Indian conditions is the area you bowl in and you have to maintain pace all along.
NEW DELHI : Australia's David Warner endured a bruising day, mentally as well as physically, in the second test against India on Friday but team mate Usman Khawaja has no doubts his opening partner would regain his mojo soon.
Spinners are always expected to dominate in India but the most successful bowler on the opening day of the second Test against Australia, Mohammed Shami, believes the home conditions also offer enough help to the pacers. Shami ended with a four-wicket haul to help India limit Australia to 263. Spinners Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin picked up three wickets each. At the start of the innings, Shami relentlessly targetted the good length area that helped him get rid of David Warner.
