Team India had a tough time facing Australia in the first innings of the third Test on Wednesday at the Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore. Opted to bat first, the Rohit Sharma<\/a>-led side was\u00a0bundled out for 109 after the spin duo of Nathan Lyon<\/a> and Matthew Kuhnemann<\/a> created a rampage and broke the backbone of the Indian batting line-up. Young batter Shubman Gill<\/a>, who was benched in the previous two matches, was finally included in the Playing XI after he replaced an out of form KL Rahul<\/a>. However, an act by Gill on the field left former India batter Sunil Gavaskar<\/a> fuming.<\/p>\n

During the seventh over of India’s innings, Gill ran for a single on Cameroon Green’s delivery and took a dive to make it back into the crease in time. The right-handed batter picked up a minor injury as he got a scratch wound below his abdomen. Gill immediately asked for the medical help and the game had to be paused.<\/p>\n

Seeing this, Gavaskar, who was commentating during the match said, “We’re seeing a little bit of repair work for Shubman Gill. He had dived to make his crease but I tell you what. This could have waited. This could have waited till the end of the over. There is a fast bowler who is bowling – he has bowled 4 deliveires; it’s hot – and you’ve given him a breather. Yes, you are hurt but wait for 2 more deliveries. Wait for the over to finish and get treated. You’re at the non-striker’s end, you’re not at the striker’s end. Simple things can make a difference.”<\/p>\n

Former Australia batter Matthew Hayden<\/a>, who was commentating with Gavaskar said, “You’re a harsh man, Sunny. That’s a real stinger.” But, Gavaskar held his ground and remained firm on his words and replied, “Yes, it is but listen you are playing for your country. Just 2 more deliveries. You’re at the non-striker’s. I can understand if you’re taking strike and you’ve got that discomfort. And he’s done that after 2 deliveries.”<\/p>\n

India were bowled out for 109 by Australia in the post-lunch session on the opening day of the third Test in Indore\u00a0on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Virat Kohli<\/a> made 22, while Shubman Gill scored 21.<\/p>\n

Left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann (5\/16) and Nathan Lyon (3\/35) starred with the ball for Australia on a pitch that offered vicious turn.<\/p>\n
