India has looked extremely torrid with the bat in first innings, lose 4 quick wickets
India has looked extremely torrid with the bat in the ongoing innings. After Australia ended their innings with 445 runs, it was expected that Gautam Gambhir's team would come up with a fighting effort with the bat and put the Australia National Cricket Team under massive pressure.
Yashasvi Jaiswal perished in the first over, and after that, Shubman Gill, too, fell early. With two wickets down quickly, Virat Kohli walked out to bat, but his struggles against the balls outside off continued as he too was back in the hut early as the India National Cricket Team came under massive pressure.

The same story unfolded for Rishabh Pant as well as the keeper-batter managed just 9 runs. So far, only KL Rahul has looked settled at the crease as he has shown great discipline to the balls outside off and also has played some magical drives as well.
Skipper Rohit Sharma joined him at the crease after the dismissal of Rishabh Pant. The captain has been under massive and there will be no better stage than this for him to step up and take his team close to the Australia total in the first innings.
The rain so far has played a massive role in the game and it hasn't done any good to India. With conditions being overcast and the ball moving, India is in a spot of bother. It would need some magic from KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma to bail the team out of trouble.
