India batting collapse vs Australia: Twitter reactions on India losing five wickets for as many runs in Adelaide Test

India batting collapse vs Australia: The Indian batsmen fell like a pack of cards on a morning where they could’ve gained a substantial advantage.

During the third day of the first Test of the ongoing India’s tour of Australia in Adelaide, Australia fast bowlers in Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood registered a dramatic comeback into the match by dismissing as many as five Indian batsmen for the same amount of runs.

Leading by 62 runs at stumps on Day 2, the visiting batsmen had a golden opportunity to increase their lead but it wasn’t to be as Cummins and Hazlewood sent back most of them before they could even get their eye in.

What started with Cummins dismissing nightwatchman Jasprit Bumrah (2), was followed by Cheteshwar Pujara (0), Mayank Agarwal (9) and Ajinkya Rahane (0) falling without adding a single run to the Indian total.

All the three batsmen were found guilty of not using their feet and edging sensational deliveries to Australia captain Tim Paine behind the wickets.

India captain Virat Kohli (4), who was playing his last innings on the tour, had millions of hopes upon himself but his attempt of driving Cummins saw him edging the ball to debutant Cameron Green at gully.

Currently leading by 79 runs with Hanuma Vihari and Wriddhiman Saha battling it out in the middle, India should be grateful to the remaining batsmen if they add another 100-120 runs and give some chance to their bowlers in the fourth innings.
