Off-spin duo of Nathan Lyon and Todd Murphy took three and one scalps respectively as Australia’s troika of spinners shared all the wickets that fell; with the final wicket coming out of a calamitous run-out.
Indore: Virat Kohli who scored 22 runs in the first innings of the ongoing Third Test match against Australia was spotted dancing after Ravindra Jadeja’s wicket at Holkar Stadium, Indore on Wednesday. After winning the toss, Rohit Sharma opted to bat and Australia’s spinners bowled out India for 109 runs before lunch.
Since morning, frenetic play followed, where every ball was literally an event as the ball turned big apart from variable bounce coming into play. Kuhnemann used conditions well to set the ball rolling for an Indian collapse and ended up with 5/16 in nine overs.
