After Australia captain Pat Cummins won the toss and decided to bat first in the second Test at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, David Warner and Usman Khawaja are dependable at the crease as India searches for a breakthrough. The home team entered the match as the clear favourites because they had easily won the first game by an innings and 132 runs. For the match, India has switched out Suryakumar Yadav for Shreyas Iyer, and Australia has given left-arm orthodox Matthew Kuhnemann his Test debut. The Delhi game, on the other hand, marks Cheteshwar Pujara’s 100th Test, an accomplishment accomplished after 13 years.
Usman hit a thick inside edge during Ashwin’s bowling spell, but the low ball missed Shreyas Iyer’s hand and instead went towards the foolish point fielder.
It was undoubtedly a difficult catch, but if it had been a catch, Ashwin would have resumed his stout bowling performance.
By the end of 14 overs, the Australian openers had amassed a 50-run partnership.
Commentary – ‘To be honest, it was a difficult catch, and Shreyas Iyer missed it. Usman Khawaja gave R Ashwin’s bowling an inside edge with his bat. Iyer, who was assigned to short leg, received the ball at an extremely low angle and was unable to hold onto it.’
