Team India won the game by and innings and 132 runs to take 1-0 lead in the series. The win was possible due to Ravi Ashwinโs 31st test five wicket haul.

It was trial by fire for Australia as they were outdone by the Indian spinners on the 3rd day of the test match. During the 2nd Innings, the cameras got panned towards, Rohit Sharma. The Indian skipper was hilarious in his forthright views when he said โAbey Mujhe Kya Dikha Raha, Udhar Dikha naโ

Ravindra Jadeja falls early but Axar and Shami press on โ
India began the day at 321/7 and lost the wicket of Ravindra Jadeja soon. The left hander left a ball from Lyon which came back in to knock his off pole. Jadeja scored 70 off 185 balls with 9 hits to the fence. The fall of Jadeja saw Shami walk to the wicket.
Shami added 52 runs for the 9th wicket along with Axar Patel as he scored 37 off 47 balls with 2 fours and 3 sixes. Shami fell to Murphy to give his 7th wicket of the innings. Patel was the last man out for 84 when he was foxed by a slower ball by Cummins to be bowled.
Indian bowlers decimate Australia
Trailing by 223 runs, with 2 and half days to go, the Australians did not last a session. Ashwin picked 5/37, while Jadeja and Shami picked 2 wickets each with Axar Patel picking 1. Ashwin who had become the 2nd fastest to 450 test wickets got rid off both the openers.
The top scorer for Australia was Steve Smith who was not out on 26, while Marnus Labuschagne scored 17. Warner and Carey both scored 10 each as all the batter fell to the wily Indian spinners.

A thumping victory for #TeamIndia in the 1st Test of the #BorderGavaskarTrophy. Incredible by #Ashwin today to dismantle the Aussie batting with a 5-fer! Brilliant batting by #AxarPatel earlier in the day. Rohit, Jaddu, Axar and Ashwin the architects. We go 1-0 up!#INDvsAUS #BGT

Australian media and ex australian cricketers are main reason for australian collapse who kept them busy in watching pitch rather than practice#INDvsAUS #AUSvsIND @FoxCricket

One of the biggest reason of this embarrassing defeat for Australia is that they let the pitch and the conditions went through their mind and make it a excuse, but India comes out on top in the end.

Rohit Sharma absolutely frustrated with his 3 spinners who were running to bowl from the more helpful end ๐๐ Jadeja said that Ashwin ran and took the ball first ๐ Rohit frustrated that these guys are nearing a milestone every game and all of them want to bowl ๐๐ #INDvsAUS

If both teams struggle, it's the pitch. If just one team struggles, it's the skills.

Suggestion...all test matches in India going forward to be 3 day events. Day 4 to be an ODI with day 5 being T20. #INDvsAUS
