Australia Left-arm spinners Steve O’Keefe took 12 wickets in the match as the tourists took a 1-0 lead in the four-test series. His match figures of 12/70 is the second best figures for a visiting bowler in India after 13/106 by Ian Botham in Mumbai in 1980.
O’Keefe, playing in only his fifth Test, just simply ran through the famous India batting order. One of the prized dismissals was that of Virat Kohli whom he completely outfoxed with a ball that pitched on the off-stump and went straight on.
A left-arm orthodox bowler and solid lower-order batsman, O’Keefe made his Test debut against Pakistan at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in 2014.
With his outstanding return in the very first test of the series, now suddenly Australia has become a tough opposition for team India.
