After bundling out India at 150, the Australian innings started on a shaky note with debutant Nathan McSweeney, becoming the first to fall, bowled by Indian captain Jasprit Bumrah at the score of 10. The scoreboard read 14/1 at that point.
A moment came when India could have drawn the second blood soon after and Labuschagne would have been in pavilion for a duck, but Virat Kohli dropped a reflex catch at slip after almost taking it.
Usman Khawaja was the next to depart, scoring just 8 runs before being taken out by Bumrah, which left Australia at 19/2. The troubles compounded for the Aussies as Bumrah struck again, this time claiming the prized wicket of Steve Smith for a first-ball duck, reducing the visitors to a precarious 19/3.
Travis Head tried to counter-attack against the fiery Indian attack, hitting two boundaries, but his stay was cut short at the score of 11, as Harshit Rana, rattled his stumps, making his debut memorable. Australia were now 31/4.
