In this match, Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bowl first, which proved to be wrong. Australia scored 445 runs in the first innings. After this, the batsmen of the Indian team performed very poorly. Team India’s batting line-up had experienced players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and young players like Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal. But all of them were defeated by the Australian bowlers. KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja definitely scored half-centuries. But in the end, Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep, famous for their bowling, saved Team India from follow-on by batting.
