IND vs AUS Live: India bring in early spinners despite pacers striking two quick wickets

Indian cricket team and Australia have started the first Test match against each other in Nagpur, Maharashtra. The Indian team is firing it in the first session itself as they have sent back two of the Australian batters back to pavilion.

Openers David Warner and Usman Khawaja are back to the pavilion and Indian pacers have started dominating the game in just the second over. Mohammed Siraj dismissed Usman Khawaja in his very first over and then Mohammad Shami bowled David Warner who scored a single run in 5 balls.

Despite the pacers giving a surprising scare to the visitors, team captain Rohit Sharma considered it to be a right option to bring in the spinners. Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel have come from both the ends, giving the pacers a positive rest after 6 overs of play.

With the pitch favouring the spinners, can the spin-duo continue to strike wickets?
