Australia surprised one and all with their outstanding bowling performance in the first innings of the ongoing Test match between India and Australia in Pune. Australia’s bowling unit gave a good combined performance and dismissed the home team for just 105 runs on Day 2 in Pune.
It was one of the worst ever collapse as India lost seven wickets in a span of 48 balls and got bundled out for 105 in reply to Australia’s total of 260 runs. Before the start of the series, almost every cricket pundit in India had predicted the series 4-0 in India’s favour but after what happened in the first innings, they might re-consedering their prediction.
India’s dramatic collapse from 94/4 to 105/10 was shell-shocking, and the people on Twitter really had a good day. Check it out here:

Top performance from Steve O’Keefe. The pitch might be an ally but still need to bowl well on it.

Loving the specially prepared pitch India have provided for the lefties…Starc and O’Keefe. Kohli’s duck helped.
