India vs Australia, 1st Test: India's collapse sets Twitter berserk

Australian spinners wrapped up the Indian innings for 105 ahead of tea on Day Two of the first Test at Pune. From 94 for 3, Australian spinners left India reeling in the second session grabbing the remaining 7 wickets and conceding mere 11 runs — worst for India. It was dream spell for Steve O’Keefe, playing his maiden Test in India, as he ended with best figures of 6 for 35, picking the final wicket of Umesh Yadav for 4. India had scored their lowest-total against Australia at home earlier in Mumbai, when they folded for 104 in 2004. The Pune’s show was India’s fifth lowest-total against Australia overall. However, former Australian greats and other cricketers did not shy away from expressing their views on India slumping, be it Michael Clarke or Russell Arnold.

India lost their first wicket when Josh Hazlewood dismissed Murali Vijay for 10. It was followed by Mitchell Starc who left India upset with two successive wickets of Cheteshwar Pujara for 6 and Indian captain Virat Kohli for 2-ball duck. Yes, for once it came as a surprise when Kohli was leaving the pavilion for a duck. KL Rahul was the only batsman to who scored a gritty 64, but was picked by O’Keefe. That triggered the collapse. In no time Ajinkya Rahane, Ravichandran Ashwin, Wriddhiman Saha, Jayant Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja disappeared as well. Live Cricket  Scorecard: India vs Australia 1st Test at at Pune

Australia began their second innings and Ashwin was spot on as he got ‘The Reverand’ David Warner for 10. He also got Shaun Marsh for 13-ball duck.

Australia have already built lead of 201 with Steven Smith and new batsman Peter Handscomb now playing at 27 and 8 respectively.
