Australia slumped to its lowest Test total against India in India during an innings and 132-run defeat in the first Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test in Nagpur on Saturday.
Pursuing India’s mammoth 400-run total, Australia was bundled out for a paltry 91, two days after it registered 177 in the first essay after electing to bat.
India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin registered his 31st Test five-for as Australia handed India the lead in the four-match series. Australia’s previous lowest score in India came in its victorious 2004-05 tour where it was bowled out for 93 in Mumbai during a 13-run defeat.
Australia’s lowest Test score against India came way back in 1981 when it was bowled out for 81 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, resulting in a 59-run defeat.
