India Stumbles, Trails by 242 Runs Against Australia
India ended Day 1 of the crucial Test match against Australia on a shaky note. At stumps, the visitors were 145/3, a significant deficit of 242 runs.
Rishabh Pant (19*) and KL Rahul (53*) remained unbeaten at the crease. However, the early loss of key wickets put India on the back foot.
The duo will need to build a substantial partnership on Day 2 to avoid a first-innings collapse. Their performance will be crucial in determining India’s chances of victory.
This setback raises concerns about India’s batting prowess against a formidable Australian bowling attack. The team’s performance in the remaining days will be keenly watched by cricket fans across the nation. A strong comeback is essential to level the series.
