India vs Australia - Watch: Marnus Labuschagne Irritates Ravichandran Ashwin With Mind Games. India Spin Great Does This

"So we were just trying to take it one ball at a time. It's just nice to contribute."

In a low-scoring and frenetic encounter, Australia skittled India for 109 on day one with spinner Matthew Kuhnemann giving the hosts a taste of
