Twitter reactions: India annihilate Australia by an innings and 132 runs in the Nagpur Test

India thrash Australia in the Nagpur Test

India made a dominant start to the four-match Test series against Australia, registering a crushing victory in just three days at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. The win gave the hosts a 1-0 lead in the series.

Indian bowlers were the stars of the show, with Ravichandran Ashwin taking a five-wicket haul (5/37) and Ravindra Jadeja picking up 2 wickets for 34 runs in Australia’s second innings. The duo were unplayable for the Aussie batters, reducing them to 67/7 in the 23rd over. Axar Patel and Mohammed Shami then took care of the remaining three wickets, securing an innings and 132-run win for India.

Ashwin’s five-wicket haul was his 31st in Test cricket and helped India secure a massive 223-run lead in the first innings. The bowlers ensured the lead was protected, dismissing Australia for a meagre 91 in the second innings.

Earlier, on the third day’s play, Axar shined with the bat as well, scoring his career-best 84, while adding 52 runs with Shami to push India’s first innings total to 400.

The all-round performance by comeback-man Jadeja was impressive, and he guided his team to a well-deserved win in the first Test of the series.
