India’s batting woes continued as they were bowled out for 109 in the first innings of the Indore Test against Australia. This is India’s fourth-lowest total at home against Australia, and it was a result of their failure to cope with the spin bowling of Nathan Lyon and Steve O’Keefe.
The Indian batsmen were unable to cope with the spin bowling of the Australian duo, as they were unable to find the gaps in the field and were unable to rotate the strike. The Indian batsmen were unable to build any partnerships, as they were dismissed in quick succession.
The Indian bowlers, however, put up a good fight in the second innings, as they were able to restrict the Australian batsmen to a total of 260. The Indian bowlers were able to make use of the conditions and were able to take wickets at regular intervals.
The Indian batsmen, however, will need to put up a better performance in the second innings if they are to save the Test match. They will need to show more application and patience against the spin bowling of the Australian duo, and will need to build partnerships if they are to put up a good total.
Overall, it was a disappointing performance from the Indian batsmen, and they will need to put up a much better performance in the second innings if they are to save the Test match.
