Australia vs India 2018-19: 5 reasons why India won the first Test

#3 Indian quicks continue the good work from past 12 months

It has been one of those seasons which has seen the coming of age of the Indian pace attack. The experienced likes of Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, along with newbie Jasprit Bumrah, who possesses a lot of skills with the white ball, have been relentless in their attack throughout the last couple of tours. The year has seen Indian pacers accounting for most wickets by any Indian pace attack in the yesteryears.

Even in the Adelaide Test, the seamers bowled in tandem with the utmost discipline to restrict Australia and gain an upper hand in the Test match. Each one of them was among the wickets. They bowled steady lines and didn’t allow the batters to attack anytime through the entire course of the Test match.

It was a pleasing sign as they eventually reaped rewards with a win in the first Test of the series.
