India Vs Australia 2023

An emphatic six-wicket victory at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday gave India an unassailable 2-0 lead in the four-match series and helped them retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The easy win saw Rohit Sharma's side move up to a win percentage of 64.06 and they are now firmly in second place in the World Test Championships standings.

"It's been a great Test match, unfortunately I didn't get any runs in the first innings, but I knew if I stay for the first 10 minutes I can score. A special feeling, was very nervous as my entire family was there. A special feeling to hit the winning boundary, looking forward to the remaining two Tests," said Pujara at the post-match presentation.

Ashwin set up the collapse, before Jadeja ran through the Australian batting line-up. With this, India needed to chase 115 to win and take a 2-0 lead in the four-match series. Five out of Jadeja's seven wickets were clean bowled, giving him his second ten-wicket haul in Test cricket. Australia, on the other hand, will be mighty disappointed by some extremely questionable shot selection and squandering the advantage they had at stumps on day two.

Before stumps on day two of the match on Saturday, Travis Head made an instant impression as an opener, slamming five fours and a six to be unbeaten on 39, while Marnus Labuschagne hit three boundaries off Ravindra Jadeja to be unconquered on 16 as Australia reached 61/1 in 12 overs at stumps, with a healthy run-rate of 5.08 and lead at 62 runs.

After Australia took a lead by a solitary run, as India were bowled out for 262 in their first innings, Head attacked to give the visitors' some quick runs. Giving him company is Marnus Labuschagne at 16 not out. With 13 overs left in the day, Australia opted to send Head as an opener in absence of a concussed David Warner alongside Usman Khawaja.

In the second session of Day Two's play, Kohli was trapped lbw by debutant left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann on the third ball of the 50th over. When Kohli took a review, the UltraEdge showed there was a huge spike when the ball was between bat and pad. After seeing multiple replays to and fro, TV umpire Richard Illingworth concluded that the ball.

It was a session in which Australia burnt all of their reviews, but Lyon put them on top by picking all four wickets through varying his speed and getting a bit of turn to bamboozle the Indian top order. For India, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja are unbeaten on 14 and 15 respectively and have looked assured at the crease. Resuming from 21/0, openers K.L. Rahul and Rohit Sharma.

Warner had made 15 off 44 balls in Australia's first-innings score of 263. During his innings, he took a blow on his helmet off India fast bowler Mohammed Siraj in the tenth over, after having taken a blow to his elbow. Later on, when India batted for the remaining nine overs on Day One, Warner did not come out to field for Australia. He subsequently demonstrated symptoms.

Khawaja was the hero for Australia on Day One of the second Test at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday, making a gritty 81 off 125 balls, also the first fifty made by a visiting batter on the ongoing tour. He was great in defending deliveries and was pristine in his strokeplay while hitting 12 fours and a six.
