IND 77/1 in 24 Overs at Stumps | IND vs AUS Highlights 1st Test 2023 Day 1: Rohit Sharma Stars After Ravindra Jadeja and Ravi Ashwin Bowl Out Australia

What a day it has been for India but Australia will have some confidence after getting rid of KL Rahul towards the end. Nonetheless, it has been a day that India have dominated, with both bat and ball. After being asked to bowl first, the pacers got the early breakthroughs after which India's spin attack joined the party. Ravindra Jadeja was the best bowler, getting his 11th five-wicket haul in Tests while Ravi Ashwin completed 450 wickets in the longest format. Australia could manage just 177 and it was largely due to the efforts of Marnus Labuschagne (49), Alex Carey (36) and Peter Handscomb (31). India had a terrific start to the second innings of this match, with skipper Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul putting together 76 runs for the opening wicket. While the Indian captain scored his 15th Test fifty, Rahul was more cautious. But he fell prey to Australia's debutant Todd Murphy, who took a simple catch of his own bowling to give his side some relief at the end of the day. 

OUT! Australia see some light towards the end of the day with the debutant Todd Murphy dismissing KL Rahul. The Indian opener has been cautious so far and this delivery spun, with Rahul handing a catch to Murphy, who is delighted to have his maiden Test wicket. A lucky break for Australia! KL Rahul c and b Murphy 20(71)

FIFTY! Rohit Sharma has batted well to get to a well-composed half-century off just 66 balls. The Indian captain has shown intent and attacked the Australian bowlers, not allowing them to settle down. It is his 15th Test half-century. 

It has been some start from the Indian openers, with Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul getting a half-century opening partnership. The Indian captain has been the aggressor in this stand with KL Rahul more watchful and cautious. India will want the two to continue and score some more runs, getting closer to the Australian total of 177. 

India have had a strong response to Australia's 177 with skipper Rohit Sharma leading from the front. The Indian captain has played some fine shots of both the spinners and fast bowlers to nullify the threat that the Australian bowlers have posed. India will want him and KL Rahul to lay the foundation for a solid total with good opening stand. 

Rohit Sharma has given India a flying start to this innings with a flurry of boundaries. He and KL Rahul will look to give the hosts a strong start to this innings and overhaul the Australian total without much damage. 

OUT! And it is done! Australia have been bowled out for just 177 runs with Ravichandran Ashwin getting the final wicket of Scott Boland. It has been a top-class spin bowling show from him and Ravindra Jadeja, who got his 11th five-wicket haul in Test cricket. Australia have had starts with Marnus Labuschagne scoring 49 runs. It has been a sensational effort from India, who now need a solid batting show to end the day on a high. Scott Boland b Ashwin 1(8)

OUT! And a five-wicket haul for Ravindra Jadeja! What a comeback it has been for the spinner! He has broken the back of the Australian batting and once again, got a crucial wicket and the big one of Peter Handscomb, who missed a delivery while trying to play a sweep shot! He has made a strong comeback after being out with an injury for so long and this is a special effort! His 11th five-wicket haul in Test cricket. Peter Handscomb lbw b Jadeja 31(84)

The experienced spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin has resumed the action post the tea break. Australia have Peter Handscomb and Nathan Lyon out in the middle and the two will hope to add as many runs as they can from here on. This is a tricky period for Australia and Handscomb has to take most of the responsibility. 

What a session it has been for India! Six wickets fell and 98 runs have been scored. Ravindra Jadeja was wrecker-in-chief, getting four wickets, including both Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith. Ravichandran Ashwin too got into the mix with two wickets, which saw him cross the 450 wickets mark in Test cricket. A good 53-run stand between Alex Carey and Peter Handscomb seemed to take the game for a brief while but the Indian spinners have left their mark on this game. A session which was owned by India.
