Jadeja, Ashwin thrash Australia to steer India back to victory

Asked to open in place of the injured David Warner, Travis Head scored at a run-a-ball rate on Saturday and seemed to be a continuation of that approach when he dismissed Ashwin (3-59) with his third ball of the day. Driven for one run. Limit.

The clever off-spinner exacted his revenge three balls later when he lofted Head (43) which was caught behind the stumps by KS Bharath.

Ashwin dismissed Steve Smith and Jadeja sent back Marnus Labuschagne (35) and nine of the 11 batsmen in Australia’s innings managed single-digit scores.

On a pitch dominated by spinners, several Australian batsmen bungled their sweep shots to either be bowled or lbw and Jadeja hollowed out their lower order as the tourists folded in 31.1 overs.
