2nd Test, Day 1: Usman Khawaja Hits Unbeaten Fifty Despite Triple Strikes From India

By IANS News February 17, 2023 • 14:50 PM View: 650

Australia's left-handed opener Usman Khawaja was precise in his footwork and pristine in strokeplay to hit an unbeaten fifty. But India bounced back with triple strikes to leave Australia at 94/3 in 25 overs at lunch on day one of the second Test at Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday.

On a pitch which gave spinners plenty of turn, bounce and grip, Australia survived a fiery opening spell from Mohammed Siraj for a 50-run opening partnership. But India came back courtesy Ravichandran Ashwin and Mohammed Shami to get three wickets at the end of first session on day one.
