IND vs AUS 1st Test Match Report

Stumps Day 1 

Great bowling showcase from Indian seamers. However, early wickets for team India seems not be working as Steave Smith and Marnus Labuschagne are looking dangerous. It’s 1st Test lunch break and Australia are 75/2. 

Tug of war between Nathon Lyon and R Ashwin! If picked 11 wickets in the current game, Ashwin acquires Lyon’s number 8th position in most wickets in a Test career! Ashwin ranks at 9th position with 449 wickets into his accounts and Lyon on 8th with 460 wickets. 

Ashwin completes 450 Wickets In Test

Ravindra Jadeja is on fire! 🔥 Back with a bang and picking up 2 quick wickets in quick succession. A true all-rounder, showing why he's a crucial player for Team India!
