IND vs AUS: India thrashed Australia in the first Test as the visitor’ wickets dropped like nine pins in the second innings, losing 10 wickets in just a single session. Jadeja removed Labushagne while Ashwin ran through the left-handers and picked up a fifer after two years. Australia initially elected to bat first but only managed to score 177 runs as the returning Jadeja picked up five wickets.
For the visiting team, Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith were the only prominent players. In response, India scored 400 runs in the first innings, including a century from captain Rohit Sharma. The 400-run threshold was reached thanks to half-centuries by Jadeja and Axar. Todd Murphy was the best bowler for Australia, finishing with a 7/124.

Here are the best fantasy cricket picks for the match from AUS:
Todd Murphy had an excellent first game and and looked more threatening than his senior Nathan Lyon. Seven wickets on debut is simply excellent.
Steve Smith is the best bet from the batters, he looked the most at ease in the first game.
We are once agian tipping Travis Head as a differential for your Dream11 teams. He had an outstanding Australian summer and could pick a wicket or two if given the chance.
