Analysis

Commentary

So that concludes our coverage of this first Test. Gosh we sure didn't expect to be putting out this statement at this point alright. The teams get an extended break by two days as the bandwagon moves to the capital city of New Delhi for the second Test starting on Friday, February 17. Do join us for our coverage of that contest here on Sportskeeda while keeping yourselves updated with all the other cricketing action from around the globe, including the SA20 final as well as the inaugural Women's Premier League action scheduled for Monday. For the moment though, this is the duo of Karthik Raj and Sooryanarayanan Sesha taking your leave on behalf of the entire team here on Sportskeeda. Wishing you a fine Sunday ahead tomorrow - take care and see you around soon. Goodbye for now!

And so we leave you with an amusing moment - a moment of real anticlimax as Ravindra Jadeja overstepped while castling Steven Smith, extending play by a little further before India wrapped it up. Here's a watch in case you missed it!👇

A fairytale comeback to the sport after a long layoff for 'Sir' Ravindra Jadeja. He didn't put a foot wrong (well, except his front foot on a few occasions) and he has restated his credentials are arguably the best all-rounder in the world in this format. The Australians are bound to have quite a task in countering him over the next three Tests - it's going to take a comeback of the highest order to storm back and level the series in Delhi and they sure can't be as flat as they were in this Test. They simply didn't turn up for large swathes here and seemed to have the pitch playing at the back of their mind - that is something they simply have to keep aside and play fire with fire.

Ravindra Jadeja is the Player of the Match for his stellar all-round display. Here's what he has to say: Feeling amazing. When you come back after five months and give your 100 per cent, taking wickets and scoring runs, it feels amazing. I've been working hard on my skills when I was in the NCA and was also working on my rehab. I would like to thank the entire NCA staff, physios and trainers who worked very hard on me. Even on a Sunday they came and worked on me. I was looking to bowl in good areas. The odd ball was spinning, the odd ball was going straight and keeping low. I knew the Australians will look to play the sweep and the reverse-sweep. If they made a mistake I had a chance to take a wicket. (On his batting) I generally look to keep things very simple. I try not to change too many things with my batting. It's a crucial number, 5, 6 or 7. Whenever the team needs me I need to do well.

Rohit Sharma (Indian captain): (On his hundred) It was (special) considering a lot of things. Start of the series, very important where we stand in the championship table. When you're playing a series like this it's important to start well. I'm happy I could put in a performance like this to help the team. Was unfortunate that I had to miss a few Tests due to injuries but I'm happy to be back, playing well and doing well for the team. Since I was appointed Test captain I played just two Tests. I got Covid in England, missed three Tests in South Africa (prior to that) I got a freak injury in Bangladesh. All those things can happen. I've had a lot of injuries in the past so I know how to come back from those and be ready for it. We wanted to start well and put in a performance like that. To be honest the last few years, the kind of pitches we're playing on in India, you've got to have some sort of application, a clear mindset and a plan on how to go about getting those runs. Since I've started opening I've tried to figure out what can threaten me while I'm batting. I've grown up playing in Mumbai where surfaces can turn a lot. I try to use my feet, try and get to the pitch of the ball and at the same time try and put pressure on the bowler. There are so many things that you can do and it's important that when you play on pitches like that, you understand your strengths and what you can do. I think it was the first two overs from the seamers - 2/2 to start a game like that, you're pretty much in the ascendancy. The opposition is always under pressure (after that). We have quality in our bowling department. Shami and Siraj have both been in great form, they know how to exploit these conditions. Having that first innings performance was important. All our batters applied themselves well to get us that lead and then our spinners bowled well.

Pat Cummins (Australian captain): The game moves pretty quickly here in India. Thought India played very well. Those spinners are always going to be tough and Rohit also showed his class. First innings, the wicket spun but it was unplayable. Could have scored at least 100 runs more and put pressure on them. Obviously starting out is tough but two or three guys got a start. Would like them to convert. Murphy has been impressive for the last year or so.

Time for the Post-match Presentation!

It's been a Test to remember for Ravindra Jadeja and he did his bit with the ball today as well. Here's a watch on how he trapped Marnus Labuschagne stone dead in front in the second innings! 👇
