On Saturday, India’s opening session of the third day of the day-night first test against Australia was a horror show after they were dismissed for 36 by the Australian bowlers at Adelaide Oval.
The tourists started on 9-1 and made only 27 runs more before Mohammad Shami fell injured to end their second innings. Australia requires only 90 scores to take a 1-0 lead in the four-match series.
It is for the first in 88-year Indian cricket history.
Josh Hazlewood took 5 wickets against 8 scores and Pat Cummins took 4 for 21, leading the Indian team to historic failure.
This is a heavy blow to India’s hopes of repeating their maiden test series win two years ago in Australia.
