There is a turn in these wickets, have no doubts about it. The ball has outclassed the Indian batters and Australia shall also find life difficult. But some dismissals have not been on unplayable balls, rather the batters have picked the lengths wrong and tried going a bit aggressive. India lost 5 wickets inside 50 runs itself and Kohli and Bharat put up a fight. Going into lunch on Day 1, India were at 84/7 with Axar Patel and Ravi Ashwin at the crease. They lost all of their batters and Kohli was the top scorer until lunch with 22 runs on the board.
