However, compared to the first Test, the Australians have been able to adapt themselves to the wicket pitch to some extent.

If not for the innings of Usman Khawaja and Peter Handscomb Australia would be in the same situation as none of the other players were able to build any partnerships that could frustrate the Indian bowlers. Surprised with the Australian line up with one fast bowler in Pat Cummins and three spinners in their squad which i am seeing for the first time, curious to see how that will help them tackle the Indian batting line up Cheesy

.

Today was the first day and four more days of play are remaining. Australia is experimenting with a combination of one pacer and three spinners. Spin worked somewhat well for Australia last time, when Todd Murphy was able to trouble the Indian batsmen. This time they have Matthew Kuhnemann on his debut in addition to Todd Murphy (who is playing his second test). Can these two inexperienced spinners trouble the Indian batsmen? Indians are considered as the best against spin. If this strategy is successful, it will be a big boost for Australia.
