The 34-year-old's last century in Test cricket came in November 2019, when he hit 139 runs against Bangladesh at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.Todd Murphy gives Australia a glimmer of hope by dismissing Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli earlyTodd Murphy has emerged as Australia's pick of the bowlers so far in the opening Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.The talented youngster picked up Indian opener KL Rahul's wicket in the penultimate over of Day 1 to give Australia their first breakthrough. Murphy made a significant impact on Day 2 as well, bagging three more scalps.The crafty spinner dismissed Ravichandran Ashwin, Virat Kohli, and Cheteshwar Pujara on the second day. He was preferred over the likes of Ashton Agar and Mitchell Swepson. He has repaid the team management's faith by being Australia's best bowler so far.Murphy is expected to play a major role in the series for the visitors alongside senior spinner Nathan Lyon. The duo will be Australia's best bet in the first Test as they look to power their way back into the contest after being bundled out for 177 in their first innings.
