IND vs AUS 2nd Test Day 3 Highlights: India win by 6 wickets, go 2-0 up in the Series

IND vs AUS 2nd Test Highlights: Australia had just a lead of 1 run in the first innings. And Indian spinners have rattled the visitors in the second innings on the 3rd day.

India vs Australia Test

India and Australia have locked horns in the round two of Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2022-23. India defeated the visitors by an innings and 132 runs in the Nagpur Test and the action has now shifted to Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

A win here will help India retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Notably, India need to beat Australia 3-0 or 3-1 to qualify for the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2021-23 which will be played in June at Kennington Oval.

India vs Australia Day 3:

Australia lost 9 wickets for 52 runs and India chased a moderate target of 115 with ease. Cheteshwar Pujara scored the winning runs on his 100th Test match as the hosts secured a victory by 6 wickets.

With the win, India have gone 2-0 up in the series.

India vs Australia Day 2:

Nathan Lyon started in fantastic fashion for Australia as he struck multiple times in the first session. KL Rahul departed cheaply yet again, so did Cheteshwar Pujara and Shreyas Iyer. Rohit Sharma also fell after a decent start as India were 88/4 at Lunch on Day 2.

Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja started the rebuilding, but the latter fell to Todd Murphy. Kohli soon departed under controversial circumstances as debutant Matthew Kuhnemann picked his prized wicket. Srikar Bharat's awful shot ensured Lyon's 5th in the inning as India were tottering at 139/7. Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel steadied the ship lower down the order for India as they finished at 179/7 at Tea.

Ashwin and Axar batted exquisitely post-Tea as India steered close to the Aussie total. India were bowled out for 262 runs.

Australia started off in an aggressive manner and are on 61/1 at the end of the second day's play.

India vs Australia Day 1 Highlights:

Australia came up with a better batting performance in Delhi and managed to accumulate 263 runs after winning the toss. Had the likes of David Warner (15), Marnus Labuschagne (18) and Steve Smith (0) chipped in, Australia could have easily managed to pile up more than 300 runs. Ravichandran Ashwin dismissed Labuschagne and Smith in a span of three deliveries. But credits to Usman Khawaja (81) for holding one end, and Peter Handscomb (72*) for getting involved in two fifty-plus partnerships. Australia captain Pat Cummins counterattacked for his 33 including three fours and two maximums.

The spin duo of Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja picked three wickets apiece. Jadeja could have finished with four wickets but he dismissed Handscomb on a no-ball. Mohammed Shami grabbed the opportunity to bundle out Australia and end with figures of four for 60.

In reply, India did not lose any wicket in the nine overs they had to play on Day 1. On the third ball of the last over, Nathan Lyon and Australia appealed for a catch dismissal at short leg and the on-field umpire nodded in confirmation, however, the third-umpire overturned the decision after Rohit immediately reviewed the decision. India trail Australia by 242 runs at the end of Day 1.
