Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja took his eleventh five-wicket haul in the course of the first Test match between India and Australia on the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur on Thursday.
Jadeja troubled the Australian high order after coming back from a protracted harm layoff. He ended with 5-47 from 22 overs.
During the second session, the wrecker-in-chief broke an 82-run partnership between Steve Smith (37) and Marnus Labuschagne (49) earlier than trapping Matt Renshaw and Todd Murphy.

Jadeja then trapped Peter Handscomb (31) within the ultimate session of the day as Australia had been bowled out in 63.5 overs.
Courtesy Jadeja’s eleventh five-wicket haul, India bundled out Australia for 177 of their first innings simply after the tea break.
Alex Carey scored 36 off 33 balls earlier than veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin (3/42), who was the second wicket-taker for India within the second session, ended his keep within the center.
Ashwin has accomplished 450 wickets by taking the wicket of Carry. The off-spinner is now the second highest wicket-taker within the historical past of Indian cricket behind legendary leg-spinner Anil Kumble.
However, the magician achieved the second quickest tempo in 89 Tests behind Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan, who achieved the feat in simply 80 Tests.
Earlier, quick bowlers Mohammed Shami (1/18) and Mohammed Siraj (1/30) dealt the guests early blows, dismissing openers Usman Khawaja (1) and David Warner (1) within the first three overs.
