In a dramatic turn of events, India’s ace spin duo Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja created havoc in the Delhi Test against Australia. The visitors struggled to put runs on the board as the two bowlers kept the pressure on.
With opener David Warner out cheaply, the pressure was on the Australian middle-order to steady the ship. However, Ashwin and Jadeja had other plans as they relentlessly attacked the batters with their accurate and deceptive spin bowling.
Ashwin-Jadeja Duo’s Deadly Spell
The duo’s spell led to losing seven wickets before Australia could even reach 100 runs. The Australian middle-order, including Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne, failed to provide any resistance and were dismissed cheaply.
Ashwin was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 4 for 55, while Jadeja claimed three wickets for just 28 runs. The spin duo’s lethal combination of flight, turn, and variations proved too much for the Australian batters to handle.
India’s Dominance In The Series
With Australia struggling at 122 for seven at stumps on day one, India has firmly taken control of the final Test and the series. The Indian team had already secured the series with a convincing win in the previous Test in Brisbane.
India’s performance in the ongoing series has been exceptional, especially considering the injuries to key players like Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja. The team has shown remarkable resilience and depth in all game departments.
Australia’s Struggles Continue
On the other hand, Australia has had a forgettable series, with their struggles against the Indian spinners being a significant cause for concern. The team has been unable to find a way to counter India’s spin attack, with none of their batters being able to play a significant inning.
With the Test series already lost, Australia will seek to salvage some pride in the final Test. However, with India in a dominant position, it will take a Herculean effort from the visitors to turn things around.
In conclusion, the Ashwin-Jadeja duo’s spell in the Delhi Test has again highlighted India’s dominance in the ongoing series. With Australia struggling to find answers to India’s spin attack, the hosts are on the verge of a historic series win.
