Today we will talk about the first day of the first Test match of Border Gavaskar Trophy 2023, whether something happened today?
In today’s India vs Australia match, Australia won the toss and decided to bat first. So India’s bowlers proved Australia’s station completely wrong. Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj, 2 of India’s best pacers, helped to send the Australian opening pair to the pavilion. First Siraj got Khawaja out LBW, then Mohammed Shami thought, why should I stay back and he also clean bowled Warner.
Steve Smith and Marnus labushagne tried to handle the innings after 2 wickets fell. The two put on 82 runs together, but Marnus was beaten off a Ravindra Jadeja delivery and stumped by KS Bharat, making no mistake, and he was dismissed for an individual score of 49. Soon after, Ravindra Jadeja got Renshaw out LBW. And the fall of wickets continued like this and in the same 63.5 overs India got Australia all out for 177 runs.
The Big Story
India all out Australia for 177 runs. Marnus was the highest scorer by scoring 49 runs.
Ravindra Jadeja became the highest wicket-taker for India. He took 5 wickets to help India all out Australia.Ravichandran Ashwin took 3 and Mohammed Shami, Siraj took one wicket each. India got 24 overs to bat in which Rohit Sharma is playing unbeaten after scoring 56 runs in 69 balls.
From the beginning till the end, the Australian bowlers looked battered but in the last, Murphy caught KL Rahul out. KL Rahul scored 20 runs in 70 balls and held the innings, he could have played a big innings but he got out due to soft dismissal and he was very disappointed with himself when he got out and went to the pavilion. And due to India’s new strategy, nightwatchman R Ashwin was sent to bat at number three.
Today Suryakumar Yadav and KS Bharat made their debut for India. Todd Murphy made his debut for Australia.Due to the injury of Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar got a place in the team. And due to Rishabh Pant’s injury, KS Bharat got a place in the team.
Let us tell you that Suryakumar Yadav has performed very well in T20 and he has almost made his place in the ODI team as well. Whereas KS Bharat has come as a replacement, but his wicketkeeping skills are very good.
Conclusion
Overall, India has to win the test match and Nagpur pitch has not shown any such color so far, in which Australian media gets a chance to say that India’s pitch is very dry and batsmen are not able to play there because Rohit Sharma Has set an example that runs are scored on this pitch as well.
