IND vs AUS Day 3 Top Moments LIVE: Australia succumb to embarrassing loss, losing 10 wickets in a session

INDvAUS, 1st Test Day 1: Team India (77/1 in 24 ovs) at Stumps, trail Australia (177) by 100 runs. Rohit 56, Todd Murphy 1/13

Pacers wreak havoc. Both openers sent packing 

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Srikar Bharat(w), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj

Rohit Sharma: We would have batted too. Looks pretty dry. There will be help for spinners. We got to wait and see how much it does. Yesterday when we started we did see some seam movement for the pacers up front. We have had a good prep for the last 5-6 days. We trained on the aspects in store. This is a big one. We know the importance of the series but we also understand it's about winning one session at a time. It's a long series. Three spinners, two seamers, Bharat and Suryakumar Yadav are debuting

Pat Cummins: We are going to bat. Looks like a pretty even wicket towards the middle. 2017 was a big series. Can't wait to get this started. We have had good preparation. We feel we are really well placed. Two changes Todd Murphy in. Handscomb in for Travis Head.

Debuts non Galore! Suryakumar Yadav and Srikar Bharat receive their India caps. Australia have handed the Baggy Green to Todd Murphy.

All hoping for a spicy affair as is the case when these rivals lock horns. 

Lot of pre-match talk about the pitch. Even before the pitch at the VCA was open to both teams, ex Australian players, sensationalized the build up with talk about Indian conditions. What can we expect here?
