Australia wiped out India on day three of the Adelaide Test, limiting tourists to the lowest innings score in test history
India’s second inning collapsed when Josh Hazlewood (5-8) and Pat Cummins (4-21) got into an uproar while Mohammed Shami retired injured after 21 years of 2 overs with only 36 runs on the Board
Opener Mayank Agarwal (9) scored the first hit and it was only the second time in test history that no batsman had double-digit numbers
India’s lowest score to date in a Test innings was in 1974 against England at Lords 42
India started the day under control of the friendly but Australia won by eight wickets after comfortably chasing 90 runs for victory in their second inning
It means Virat Kohli’s summer is over and Australian debutant Cameron Green took a shouter on day three at the Adelaide Oval on Saturday to fire the Indian captain
Green took a dive catch on the gully, but bobbled it, which led to a long check before Kohli (4) finally received his marching orders

Kohli will return home after the test match to give birth to his first child
Cummins and Hazlewood cast spells for the ages to bring India to a record-breaking shame in the Adelaide Oval
Channel 7 commentators and former Australian players Simon Katich and Damien Fleming could hardly believe what was happening
“I don’t remember such a performance by the Australians Josh Hazlewood, it was the Hazlewood Hallway of Hesitation when he got his hands on the ball,” Fleming said
“But Pat Cummins, the leader of the attack, gave the Australians the early breakthrough last night and continued it today”
“Josh Hazlewood, a well-deserved five-wicket turn 5-3 out of 41 overs, these are the numbers you see on a Saturday morning in the under-12s,” said Katich
India resumed on the third day of the day-night test at 1-9 a.m. and led with 62 runs
Kohli’s team tumbled 9-36 in 90 minutes, the innings ended when Cummins hit Mohammed Shami on his exposed right arm, injuring the tailender
Agarwal’s nine and Hanuma Vihari’s eight helped India beat 26, which is still the lowest test mark in 150 years of test cricket
But India couldn’t get anywhere near 42, which was the country’s lowest score out of nearly 550 tests
Cummins ignited an unbelievable 5-4 collapse on Saturday, putting Australia in the box to take a 1-0 lead in the series
Kohli became Cummins’ fourth victim during the slaughter, while the Express Paceman also took Cheteshwar Pujara in search of a duck
Hazlewood, who clinically cleaned up the tail, had a hat trick after removing Wriddhiman Saha and Ravichandran Ashwin
