Mitchell Starc on Yashasvi Jaiswal Wicket: Left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc’s passion for taking wickets with the pink Kookaburra ball in day-night Tests continued as Australia beat India on the first day of the Adelaide Test with his career-best performance of 6 wickets for 48 runs in 14.1 overs. Was bundled out for 180 runs. On a pitch with six mm grass, Starc had Yashasvi Jaiswal out LBW on the very first ball of the match, reminding many of the way he dismissed Rory Burns at the Gabba in 2021.
He then delivered a double strike to dismiss KL Rahul and Virat Kohli, before dismissing Ravichandran Ashwin, Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy to take his first Test five-wicket haul against India.
Starc told broadcasters during the dinner break, “I don’t know. I can’t tell. I think the ball is coming well; we didn’t play that bad; they played better than us in Perth. To be honest, that much No (if he had imagined that Jaiswal would get swing on the first ball). Nothing changes from game to game, it was a good start.”
Starc bowled a brilliant spell to thrash India, which meant he cemented his position as the leading wicket-taker in the Pink Ball Test, and the leading five-wicket taker in this format of Test cricket. Are. He also said that he suffered cramps at the end of the spell due to the humid weather in Adelaide.
Mitchell Starc added, “It certainly didn’t help the engine, got a bit cramped at the end. It (the pink ball) goes through weird patches, doesn’t do much and then goes on, hopefully there will be some grass on the first day.” “Maybe it might dry out a little bit later on in the forecast, but except for the first hour when we were putting out a little bit, we were good.”
If we talk about the first day’s play, after bowling out India for 180 runs with the career-best bowling of experienced fast bowler Mitchell Starc, Australia scored 86 for one wicket in the first innings on Friday, the first day of the second day-night cricket test. Kept the upper hand by scoring runs. The host team is now just 94 runs behind India’s first innings score with nine wickets remaining.
Australia has lost only the wicket of Usman Khawaja (13), who was caught by Jasprit Bumrah (1 wicket for 13 runs) in the slips by captain Rohit Sharma. At the time of stump, opener Nathan McSweeney was playing on 38 runs while Marnus Labuschagne was playing on 20 runs. Both have added 62 runs for the second wicket.
