3rd Test: India bowled out for fourth lowest total against Australia at home | Cricket News
NEW DELHI: Rookie Australian spinner Matthew Kuhnemann playing just his second Test took a career best 5/16 as India were bundled out for a paltry 109 in their first innings on the first day of the third Test in Indore on Wednesday.
The hosts who opted to bat first after winning the toss were shot out inside two sessions.
The highest run scorer for India was Virat Kohli, with 22.
This is now India’s fourth lowest Test total against Australia at home after 104 in Mumbai (2004) and 105 and 107 in Pune (2017).
This is also India’s eighth lowest Test total against Australia ever and their joint 29th lowest Test total overall.

3rd Test: KL Rahul dropped from India XI
India were bowled out just after lunch on the first day, after winning the toss and opting to bat on what is really a devilish pitch. Big turn and variable bounce made life difficult for Indian batsmen.
The pitch also has variable bounce with the top surface exploding with almost every delivery. Australia’s spinners exploited those conditions wonderfully, led by a first Test five-for by Kuhnemann.
