Talking wickets in India and against Indian batters is a huge challenge for a spinner, especially those from abroad. However, Australia's Todd Murphy made the most of the opportunity, making a dream debut with a maiden five-wicket haul in the first Test against India at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium here on Friday.

Bowling a consistent line and length and at a right pace, Murphy claimed 5/82 in India's first innings, becoming the 17th Australian bowler and sixth spinner to claim a fifer on debut.
