The Border-Gavaskar Trophy has officially begun, and Team India has made a stunning statement in the first match of the 4-match series. The Indian cricket team thrashed Australia by an innings and 132 runs, securing a 1-0 lead in the series.
This was a triumph led by the skipper Rohit Sharma, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, and the veteran spin duo of Ravi Ashwin and Axar Patel. The Indian bowlers, particularly Ashwin and Jadeja, were on fire as they decimated the Australian batting order and bundled them out for just two low scores.
Australia’s performance was poor, to say the least, and they recorded their second-lowest score in Test cricket against India. Fans of the Australian team should brace themselves for a tough fight ahead, as the Indian team looks in top form and is showing no mercy on the field.
For the Indian fans, this was a commanding performance that showcased their dominance at home. They should be proud of their team, who made an excellent start to the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Next up, the Australians will have to work hard and come up with a better game plan if they want to stand a chance in this series. But for now, it’s done and dusted in Nagpur, with India leading the series 1-0.
So, to the Aussies, we say this: Don’t complain about the pitch next time. Instead, ask your batters to practice hard and come up with a better performance.
