The first test match between India and Australia has been a thrilling affair so far, with half of the Australian team already sent back to the pavilion. It all started with Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami who rocked the Aussies with two early wickets in the first session. Siraj struck down Usman Khawaja while Shami clean-bowled David Warner with a stunning delivery. The Indian fans were overjoyed as the seamers had made an early impact on the game.
Here are some fan reactions:
But the real damage was done by Ravindra Jadeja, who made a spectacular return to international cricket with a dominant display of his bowling.
Ravindra Jadeja added to the misery of the Australian team by dismissing two of their batters in just two deliveries after lunch. He first got rid of Marnus Labuschagne who was stumped by KS Bharat for 49 runs, breaking a crucial partnership with Steve Smith. On the next ball of the over, Jadeja sent back Matt Renshaw, who couldn’t even trouble the scorers. Although Jadeja failed to complete his hat-trick, he later bowled Steve Smith for his third wicket of the match.
Jadeja’s impressive performance was a welcome sight for Indian fans as he made a fantastic comeback to international cricket.
