The ‘mighty’ batting line up of Virat Kohli produced the most surprising display ever in Indian test cricket history. The Indian batsmen were killed by the relentless pace attack of Australia.
The men in blue were 36 for 9, and India posted their lowest test score ever with retired Mohammad Shami hurt. In the second inning, Australia just had to hunt for a goal of 90.
A dramatic turnaround on day three!

The batting collapse shocked former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar. Akhtar described the performance as “terrible” and “embarrassing” by sharing his views on India’s batting on Twitter.
I woke up and saw the 369 mark. I couldn’t have believed that. Then I washed my eyes and saw my 36/9 ranking. The former fast bowler wrote on social media, “I couldn’t believe it either & went back to sleep.”

For cricket fans, India’s batting collapse is indeed appalling. What makes the defeat more embarrassing is that at the end of Day 2, India were actually leading the match by 53 runs. India, however, experienced an abrupt collapse in Day 3’s hourly overs.
India was lowered to 19 for 6 after Virat Kohli’s dismissal. On day three, India lost 9 wickets for just 27 runs.
In the 4-match Test series, Australia have now taken a 1-0 lead. Though Pat Cummins picked up four wickets for 21 runs, Josh Hazlewood picked up 5 wickets for 8 runs.
