A wonderful test match was held at Holkar Stadium, Indore between India and Australia. Australia won the Test by 9 wickets within 3 days, Infact under 7 sessions and approximately 100 overs. India team were on the Backfoot from the first season of the first day where the lost 4 big wickets, Infact bundled out for 109 runs. It was a dismal show by India Batsman in both the Innings, Infact Only Cheteshwar Pujara was looked solid in the second innings. Axar Patel the highest scorer of the the series was not given an opportunity to bat higher up the order by Indian team management. He came to bat at Number nine in both the innings, where he ran out of partners more importantly, he remained not out in both Innings.
Australia on the other hand, came out with different plans stand in Skipper Steve Smith.
Steve Smith has already kept and Australia in 54 test matches earlier earlier and has won the Pune test where it was turning Square from day one is good 100 which was the best hundred in India in the past 20 years of test match cricket in India so Steve Smith and so he are different plans I had played on these turning pictures in the last Australia tour of India as well so he kept attacking from the first session itself he brought in Matt Kuhnemann in the sixth over itself and got the big wicket of Rohit Sharma would try to dance down the wicket and wanted to hit out of the park and he was stumped. Nathan Lyon kept attacking and got 3 wickets in the first Innings and 8 Wickets in the 2nd Innings. It was an amazing comeback by the Australian Team. All credit goes to the Australian management for having faith in Steve Smith as a stand in Skipper. With this win in Indore, the Australia have qualified itself for the world test Championship in June so they would be waiting for the last test held in Ahmedabad and let's see if the Indian team beats Australia and then qualify for the final or if Sri Lanka loses against the New Zealand or draws one of the games then India would automatically qualify for the world test championship and will play the Australian team once again in June.
All eyes should be on the Ahmedabad test where both the prime ministers of both the countries are expected to be there it would be a full house at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad.
