Lotus365 Match Prediction Highlights: India’s Decisive Win
Despite being bowled out for 150 in the first innings, India staged a stunning comeback led by Yashasvi Jaiswal's masterful 161 and Virat Kohli's 30th Test century in the second innings. Jaiswal and KL Rahul’s 201-run opening partnership set the foundation for India’s massive second-innings total of 487/6 declared.
India's bowlers shone throughout the Test. Jasprit Bumrah’s devastating five-wicket haul in Australia’s first innings and Mohammed Siraj's crucial breakthroughs on Day 4 ensured that the hosts were bundled out for 238 in their chase of 510. Debutant Harshit Rana also impressed, picking up key wickets, while Nitish Kumar Reddy’s fighting 41 in the first innings provided early resistance.
Australia's standout performances included Travis Head's valiant 89 and Mitchell Marsh's 47 in the second innings. However, the lack of support from their top order made the task insurmountable.
