The second match of the Test series between India and Australia has now begun. The first day of competition is over. On day one, it was seen that the Indian team was at a disadvantage somewhere. However, with four days to go, India will have a chance to make a comeback in the match. Meanwhile, just before the end of the first day’s play, India skipper Rohit Sharma made a powerful move that could have changed the course of the match if successful, but he failed. After that, the Indian team had to return to the dressing room disappointed.
The match time had to be suddenly extended as the floodlights were switched off.
In fact, the floodlights went off mid-way while Australia was batting. This incident happened twice on Harshit Rana’s side. The first day of competition ends at 5 pm India time. However, due to the interruption caused by the lights turning off, the referee extended the game for three minutes. This means that the first day of competition will end at 5:03 pm. With a few minutes left in the game, skipper Rohit Sharma suddenly passed the ball to Ravichandran Ashwin. No one understands why this decision was suddenly made. Because when the lights come on and the game is about to end, fast bowlers prove to be more lethal.
Rohit wanted Jasprit Bumrah to bowl the last over.
When Ravichandran Ashwin’s over ended, time was one ball past five. That means there are two minutes left. Taking this opportunity, captain Rohit Sharma once again handed over the last delivery of the day to Jasprit Bumrah. If the same Ashwin ball had been bowled by a fast bowler, then maybe there wouldn’t have been any chance of bowling another over. Rohit thought the spinner could end his over quickly and therefore tried this trick. However, India didn’t get much out of it as Australia opener Nathan McSweeney and third-order batsman Marnus Labuschagne kept the lead going and denied India any losses. .
Australia scored 86 runs for the loss of one wicket
After India were bowled out for 180, by the end of the first day, Australia had scored 86 runs for the loss of one wicket. Marnus Labuschagne is unbeaten on 20 and Nathan McSweeney is unbeaten on 38. Only one wicket fell for Australia. Opener Usman Khawaja was eliminated after scoring 13 runs. He was dismissed by Jasprit Bumrah. Now it remains to be seen how the Indian team counterattacks on the second day.
