Team India scripted a memorable win over Australia within the first Test of the four-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy on the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur on Saturday. After Rohit Sharma’s blistering ton, adopted by Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja’s knocks of 84 and 70, gave India a lead of 223 runs over Australia, the Pat Cummins-led aspect was bowled out for 91 because the hosts claimed a win by an innings and 132 runs. The Rohit Sharma-led aspect has been receiving plenty of reward from the followers and former cricketers after the historic win and veteran India wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik feels that Australia must work on their abilities with a view to make a strong comeback within the four-match collection, similar to India did within the 2020-21 version of the collection.
“They got to go back and plan how that how are they going to defend balls that are being attacked on, especially at the stumps. They are probably looking at the turns and missing out on the straight ones. They should rather play for the straight ones a lot more and get nicked off than try the other way round. They need to back their skills, whatever they have, it had given them a lot of success in Australia and one bad game does not make them a bad team,” stated Karthik on Cricbuzz.
“They are a team with some world-class players. We remember when India toured Australia, they were demolished in the first Test in Adelaide and lost by an innings. That’s what exactly happened to Australia. But the Indian team found a way to dig deep, fight the way through the injuries in the last BGT series. This one is a challenge for Australia and I am sure that the kind of character they have, they will dig deep and find the answers of the questions the Indian bowlers are throwing at them,” he added.
Team India was bundled out for 36 through the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy within the 2020-21 version in Australia and misplaced the match by an innings. However, they made a large comeback and clinched the collection 2-1.
Coming to this match, spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja eviscerated Australia in simply over two hours handy India a crushing innings-and-132-run victory Saturday inside three days of the opening Test.
The hosts took a commanding first-innings lead of 223 in Nagpur, then skittled out Australia for 91 in an prolonged second session to take a 1-0 lead within the four-match collection.
