Australia vs India 2018/19: 3 Takeaways from the first Test at Adelaide

#2 India’s bowlers are now hunting in packs

All these years, Indian bowling has been about individual brilliance and that meant the pressure was not on the batsmen from both the ends for a long period.

The partnerships, like in batting, is a crucial component in the bowling department as well; especially when the wicket gets really flat and wicket-taking balls don't come that often.

Not a single bowler took a five-wicket haul in both the innings, yet they combined together to hunt as a pack and that meant pressure was relentless on the Australian batsmen for long enough, forcing them to make a mistake.

The fact that Australia’s run rate throughout the match was hovering around 2 is a testimony to India’s consistency in terms of lines and lengths.

Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who doesn't possess a great track record in Australia has started off the series very well. He complimented the three quicks brilliantly, by holding one end up so that the fast bowlers could keep bowling those short quick spells at the other.
