NEW DELHI: Australia’s spirit fizzled out in just 19.1 overs on the third day of the second Test at the Kotla. In about 90 minutes of absolute bizarre batting against high-quality spin of Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin, Australia were shot out for 113, turning an intriguing Test match into a lopsided affair as India chased down the 115-run target with six wickets to spare to go 2-0 up in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on Sunday.
In comparison to the preceding Test in Nagpur, Australia had a field day of sorts on the first two days here. But then there was Jadeja waiting to re-introduce them to the house of horror on a wicked third-day Indian pitch.
