The wicket nature of the 22-yard strip at the Holkar Stadium where deliveries started turning square from the word go has reignited the debate of the India dishing out under-prepared surfaces for the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy games against Australia.The ICC match referee Chris Broad is almost certain to take cognisance of the diabolical nature of the track and it won't be surprising that after Nagpur and Delhi which were rated "average", the track for the ongoing Test match could well get a "Below Average" rating. India were all out for 109 in just over a session while Australia managed to crawl to 156 for 4 as 14 wickets fell by the end of the day's play.
The Day 1 of the ongoing third Test between India and Australia saw the wickets falling down like nine pins.

However, the visitors also lost four wickets at the end of Day 1 after Ravindra Jadeja took a four-wicket haul. Australia lost an early wicket of Travis Head in the second over and were on the verge of losing Marnus Labuschagne as well in the fourth over. However, a turn of events gave Labuschagne a new life.
It was a disappointing display from the India batsmen on Day 1 of the third Test match against Australia in Indore as the hosts were bundled out for just 109. Almost all the batsmen failed to get going against the Aussie spinners but Umesh Yadav ended up adding a massive milestone to his name. The fast bowler slammed two massive sixes off Matthew Kuhnemann's bowling and equalled Virat Kohli's tally of 24 maximums in Test cricket. In the course of the match, he also went past former head coach Ravi Shastri's tally of 22 and is currently 17th in the list of Indian cricketers with most Test sixes. Overall, Virender Sehwag tops the list with 91 while MS Dhoni is second with 78.

The downfall began with the dismissal of Rohit, which was followed by Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Shreyas Iyer, and Ravindra Jadeja.

Team India had a tough time facing Australia in the first innings of the third Test on Wednesday at the Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore. Opted to bat first, the Rohit Sharma-led side was bundled out for 109 after the spin duo of Nathan Lyon and Matthew Kuhnemann created a rampage and broke the backbone of the Indian batting line-up.
