Changed ball made a lot of difference: Dinesh Karthik

NEW DELHI: In the defence of a meagre 75 on Day 3 morning of the Indore Test, India raised some hopes with premier spinner Ravichandran Ashwin snapping Aussie opener Umsan Khawaja with the second-ball of the day. For the next 10 overs, the Australian batters Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne looked absolutely rattled and were beaten left, right and centre by Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja.

But then a ball change in the 11th over unsettled the India bowlers as Head and Labuschagne counter-attacked with a flurry of boundaries. Ashwin was seemingly let down by the change of ball which proved to be softer and Australian batters found it easier to score off.
