Rohit Sharma’s team has taken a 1-0 lead in the Test series between India and Australia.
India beat Australia by an innings and 132 runs in the Nagpur Test.
New Delhi. Team India was stunned in Nagpur and Australia’s team (India vs Australia) was defeated by Rohit Sharma and Company (Rohit Sharma) in just two and a half days. The kangaroos did not perform as expected as Australia is considered to be a big name in Test cricket. This is the reason why the Indian team defeated Pat Cummins and Co. by an innings and 132 runs. Australia came to India with great ambitions to play the Test series (Border Gavaskar Trophy). The Australian team, which came after six years, hoped that on the tour of India, it would avenge the last two Test series defeats at its home, but it does not seem to be happening. Although India won in Nagpur due to teamwork, but it would not be wrong to give the credit of this victory completely to RRR. You must be thinking that we are talking about film director SS Rajamouli’s movie RRR. No, we are talking about Team India’s RRR i.e. Rohit Sharma, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja in the victory won in Nagpur.
