During the fifth day of the second Test of the ongoing India’s tour of Australia at Perth, Australia defeated India by 146 runs to draw level the four-match series 1-1. With both the matches yielding results, one expects the imminent two matches to do the same as well.
After setting a 287-run target to the visitors, Australia were always on the top of the match. India captain Virat Kohli’s sensational form was the only worry for the hosts, but after dismissing him cheaply last evening, Australia had all but confirmed their victory.
On the last day of the match, India required 175 runs with five wickets in hand. The Australian bowlers required just more than an hour to bundle out the opposition as India ended up scoring 140-10 in 56 overs. With bowling figures of 19-3-39-3, Australia off-spinner Nathan Lyon was the pick of the bowlers.
In Virat Kohli’s 25th Test hundred and Mohammad Shami’s career-best figures, India have two individual brilliant performances. Having said that, the hosts played better as a unit, which saw the result going their way.
India misreading the pitch on Day 1 is another reason for them losing the Test. Apart from it, the dismal form of their opening batsmen is another concern for the Indian team management.
India’s loss received a significant amount of criticism from some of the cricket experts and the fans back home. Read some of the latest Twitter reactions on India’s defeat below:
