During the first innings against Australia, India's cricket team encountered significant hurdles. Yashasvi Jaiswal was run out early, followed by diminished efforts from captain Rohit Sharma and others, setting India on a challenging path as they attempted to consolidate their batting lineup.

Australia's formidable bowling prowess was on display, driven by Pat Cummins and Scott Boland. The duo managed to claim crucial wickets, making it difficult for India to build momentum on the pitch. Despite several innings, the falls of Jaiswal, Sharma, Rahul, Kohli, and Akash Deep undermined the innings.
