Australia debutant Todd Murphy led the fightback for the team with a five-wicket haul on Day 2 of the IND vs AUS 1st Test. With the wicket of Srikar Bharat, Murphy became only the sixth bowler to pick five wickets on debut in India after Lance Klusner, Jason John Krejza, John Lever, Bruce Taylor and Yasar Arafat. He is also just the second Australia spinner to achieve the feat on debut.
On day one, Murphy dismissed KL Rahul for 20, right before close of play. The men in blue continued to dominate on day two, with skipper Rohit Sharma and night watchman Ravichandran Ashwin in the middle. The duo put on a 42-run stand that threatened to take the game away. Murphy broke the partnership by dismissing Ashwin for a 62-ball 23. The 22-year-old also managed to dismiss Cheteshwar Pujara (7) and Virat Kohli (12) to make his debut memorable one.
