On Day 3 of the first Test in Adelaide, Australia bundled out India for 36, their lowest Test score ever.
Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins were the chief architects for the hosts, picking up 5/8 and 4/21 respectively as India went from 9/1 overnight to 36 all out in their second innings.
India’s dramatic collapse at the Adelaide Oval is now their lowest score in Test cricket – lower than the previous record of 42 against England at Lord’s in 1974.
“Everything went to plan today,” Hazlewood told the official broadcaster Fox Cricket.
“The way Patty started was unbelievable getting the two big wickets and I just followed suit.”
