IND vs AUS: In the ongoing third test match between India and Australia at Indore, Cheteshwar Pujara, the backbone of India’s batting line-up, was left stunned by a pivotal dismissal. Nathan Lyon bowled him out for just one run in the ninth over of India’s first innings when the ball stayed low and turned from outside off, beating Pujara and crashing into the middle stump. This left India struggling with a score of just 36 runs, making the wicket a crucial moment in the match.
Pujara’s dismissal stuns fans
Cheteshwar Pujara’s plan to play off the back foot seemed perfect, but the pitch had other ideas. The lack of bounce caught him off guard, resulting in his dismissal and putting India in a backfoot position early in the innings. Team India could not register a big score as the wickets of the top order fell regularly.
Pujara’s ability to anchor the innings has made him a key player for India, making his departure a huge blow. While the Indian camp was disappointed, Nathan Lyon and the Australian team were thrilled with the dismissal.
