Indian spinners rattled Australia’s top order after ending skipper Steve Smith’s brief resistance on the opening day of the first Test in Pune on Thursday.
The visitors were 153 for four at tea with Matt Renshaw (38), who returned to the crease after earlier retiring with a stomach upset, and Mitchell Marsh (2) batting at the break. Smith braved the heat for his dogged 95-ball 27 before falling to off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin late in the afternoon session. Smith was involved in crucial partnerships with Shaun Marsh (16) and then Peter Handscomb (22) before chipping a catch to Kohli at mid-wicket.
