A decisive and crucial Day 2 awaits as India have started the 1st Test against Australia strongly by dominating almost the entirety of the Day 1. In a pitch that created much controversy, Australia won the toss and chose to bat. Although, they couldn't grab much advantage of it. Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj struck early removing both the Aussie openers Usman Khawaja and David Warner. Crisis men for the Kangaroos, Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith held the fort and batted the rest of the first season, frustrating India. India returned with rejuvenated energy in the second session, with Ravindra Jadeja crashing down the Australian Innings by dismissing both Labuschagne and Smith. Matt Renshaw departed next ball without troubling the scorers. Jadeja ended up bagging a fifer and was soon joined by his trusted partner Ravichandran Ashwin who helped him wrap the Australian innings on 177.  Comeback man Peter Handscomb could add some runs to the Australian total with a counter-attacking Alex Carey. Ravindra Jadeja Admits Playing Ranji Match Ahead of IND v AUS 1st Test 2023 Helped Him Get Back in Rhythm.

India flew off their blocks with Rohit Sharma often punishing an erring Pat Cummins, Australia had to introduce their off-spin duo early but the earliest damage they could make in India's castle was not before they accumulated 76 runs on the board. Debutant Todd Murphy castled tentative KL Rahul and stumps was called after Ravichandran Ashwin joined Rohit Sharma as night watchmen. India finished the day on 77/1 and would like to bat long tomorrow and prefer to not bat again in the fourth innings. With Rohit Sharma dominating the Aussie bowlers till now. it seems very likely although the pitch might start crumbling from Day 2.
