IND vs AUS: Kuhnemann claims his maiden Test fifer
It has been a great start for Australia as they bundled India for only 109 on Day 1 of the 3rd Test in Indore. Matthew Kuhnemann in his second Test match was the star of the show for the visitors. The left-arm spinner picked up his maiden five-wicket haul and was the pick of the bowlers. Kuhnemann ended with career-best figures of 5/16.
Career best figures for Kuhnemann
Kuhnemann struck in his very first over, outfoxing Rohit Sharma, who wanted to go for a biggie and ended up being stumped. He bowled a slower ball around the off-stump and drew Shubman Gill forward, who ended up getting an edge. His third wicket was of Shreyas Iyer, who got bowled. Kuhnemann then lured R Ashwin for the drive before trapping Umesh Yadav LBW.
India folded for 109
Indian skipper Rohit won the toss and elected to bat first in Indore. Australia's stand-in skipper Steve Smith didn't take long to introduce the spinners and the move paid massive dividends. The hosts suffered a shocking batting collapse. Virat Kohli (22) and Shubman Gill (21) were the only ones to score over 20. Kuhnemann (5/16), Todd Murphy (1/23), and Nathan Lyon (3/35) shared wickets.
