After scoring a disappointing 150 runs in their first innings, the Indian team bounced back on day one of the first test against Australia. Led by Mohammed Siraj's brilliant bowling, India managed to restrict Australia to just 67/7 at the end of the day, giving them a lead of 83 runs. Siraj, who also recently made headlines for his appointment as a Deputy Superintendent of Police in Telangana, removed top batsmen like Marnus Labuschagne and Mitchell Marsh to put India in a favorable position.
On the fourth day of the first Test between Australia and India, Mohammed Siraj showed his potential as a fast bowler by dismissing two of Australia's top batsmen - Usman Khawaja and Steven Smith. With just four wickets down, Australia were struggling to chase a target of 534 runs. However, Travis Head and Smith formed a partnership to revive Australia's hopes, until Siraj struck again and ended their stand. With the pitch playing tricks, Siraj proved to be a vital asset for India, redeeming himself after a poor performance against New Zealand.
Australia will face India in a Test series, hoping to break their winless streak since 2014/15. While India has been a dominant force, this time they arrive after a home whitewash against New Zealand. Travis Head, who has a history of hurting India, could exploit their weak transitional side. Steven Smith, now batting at number four, may not be in his prime but has shown glimpses of his former self. With lethal bowlers like Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood in their squad, Australia is determined to break their dry spell against India and turn their tactics into results.
