Brief Score: IND - 244 & 36/9 (Mayank Agarwal 9, Hanuma Vihari 8, Hazelwood 5/8, Cummins 4/21)

AUS - 191 & 93/2 (Joe Burns 51*, Steve Smith 1*, Ashwin 1/16)

A most dramatic turnaround on day three of the first test match that has been played between India and Australia at Adelaide Oval, Adelaide. The hosts vanquished India by 8 wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the four-match Test series. 36 all-out! A shambolic display of batting by the Indian cricket team batters. Indian cricket team has no answers to the Aussie pacers' accurate line and length have lost six wickets like playing cards on Saturday morning. Australia skipper Tim Paine was named as Player of the Match for his brilliant batting and wicket-keeping.

Interestingly, this the first time in 26 Tests India have lost when Virat Kohli had won the toss. India registered their lowest-ever test score as none of Team India's batsmen got into the double-figure mark. These bare facts tell you the story of a day that'll probably go down as one of the worst in India's Test history.

A dramatic turnaround on day three!

Team India was on top when the day started and is now in a pathetic situation within an hour after Day three started. But a massive turnaround on day three of the opening Test in Adelaide. Josh Hazelwood finished with magical figures of 5/8 while Pat Cummins, World's no. 1 Test bowler took 4 wickets by conceding only 21 runs.
