WATCH: India's 1st innings came to an end after a highly entertaining day of cricket on Day 1 of India vs Australia 3rd test in Indore. Indian batters were outdone by the Aussie spinners as the pitch at the Holkar Cricket Stadium assisted the spinners. The Men in Blue laboured hard to go past hundred and finished at 109 as only a few batters went into double digits. Meanwhile, Umesh Yadav came down the order and hit a few blows to help India go past 100.
Yadav displayed his hitting abilities and slogged Aussie spinners out of the park on a few ocassions. He sent Nathan Lyon out of the park before hitting a six and a four off Todd Murphy. As Yadav was hitting these shots, Kohli was seen enjoying them from the dressing room. On one of the ocassions, he was seen getting off from his seat in excitement as Yadav slogged one over deep mid wicket in Murphy's over.
