Team India started the Border-Gavaskar Trophy journey on a strong note by winning the first test. Men In Blue wrapped the test in just three days and recorded a big win by an inning and 132 runs. Having bundled Australia for 177 runs in the first innings, India made 400 runs in response.

Indian bowlers made it tough for the Australian batsmen and claimed ten wickets in their second innings for just 91 runs. Ravichandran Ashwin is the top pick among bowlers with five wickets. Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami claimed two wickets each. Axar Patel took one wicket.

Shami became the talk of the town with his performance with the ball and bat. The fast bowler thrashed some big sixes and stunned the visitors. Todd Murphy troubled Indian batsmen with his bowling and Shami took him for a ride and made him concede runs.

Mohammed Shami thrashed three big sixes against the Australian spinner. His batting heroics added salt to the wounds. Ravindra Jadeja was sent back after scoring 80 runs. The happiness of Jadeja's wicket did not last too long as Shami scored some runs.

The maximums that came from Shami's bat made him go past players like Run Machine, Virat Kohli, and others. Shami now has more number of sixes than Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, and KL Rahul.

While King Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, and KL Rahul had 24, 21, and 17 sixes in the longest format, Shami went past them all and he now has 25 sixes. His three sixes in the innings helped him in achieving this rare feat.
