India vs Australia Delhi Test: India defeated Australia within three days in the Delhi Test. The Kangaroo team, which took a one-run lead in the first innings, surrendered to India in the second innings. By the way, if we talk about the entire Test match, then Australia’s performance was very disappointing. After this victory, Team India was able to take an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the four-match series. After winning the second consecutive Test, India has taken another step towards the final of the ICC World Test Championship. Let us tell you about the big reasons that led to Australia’s humiliating defeat in the Delhi Test.
opening batsmen fail
Australia’s openers could not do anything special in the Delhi Test. David Warner, who scored 15 runs in the first innings, was ruled out of the match due to concussion. In his place, Travis Head started in the second innings. He also failed to score big. While Usman Khawaja, who scored 81 runs in the first innings, was able to score only 6 runs in the second innings. In this way, the failure of the openers was a major reason for Australia’s defeat.
flopped middle order
If we look at both the innings of the Test match, Australia’s middle order flopped. If Peter Handscomb is left, then none of the batsmen of the Kangaroo team could score a half-century in the match. Handscomb scored 72 runs in the first innings. After this Marnus Labushen scored 35 and Pat Cummins scored 33 runs. During this, the senior batsman of Australia team Steve Smith could not do anything. He was able to score only 9 runs in this match. Smith has been a major contributor to Australia’s Test success. Smith’s absence in the Delhi Test was the reason for the team’s defeat.
wickets lost at regular intervals
The bowlers who gave Australia a lead of 1 run in the first innings could not take wickets at regular intervals of Team India in the second innings. At one point, when three wickets fell for India’s 69 runs, it seemed that the match would be exciting. But Cheteshwar Pujara, batting patiently, took India to victory. In the second innings, the Australian bowlers failed to get India wickets at regular intervals. Which was the main reason for the defeat of the Kangaroo team.
