Nagpur On the first day of the Test, New Delhi saw Australia who had learned from their Test defeat and changed their style and approach. The batting of Usman Khawaja and Peter Handscomb, who played aggressively without thinking about the pitch, proved the change in the style of the Aussies.
Keeping only one fast bowler in the playing eleven and fielding 3 specialist spinners are signs that the Australian team has decided to adapt to the match conditions. However, they could not take advantage of the good start in the batting.
Australia, who got the luck of the toss for the second time in a row, should have reached a better score in the first innings. The pitch in New Delhi was not as tough for batting as compared to Nagpur. Indian pacer Mohammad Shami’s bowling deserves special praise. Shami, who started the Indian wicket-hunting by dismissing David Warner, created a favorable situation for the spin attack.
