India vs Australia: Ravindra Jadeja shines as Men in Blue restrict Aussies under 200 | ODI World Cup

The renowned Chepauk pitch, known to favour turners, aided the spin-heavy India on October 8 as they took on Australia in one of the most anticipated matches of the 2023 World Cup.

Opting to bat first, Australia were off to a slow start even losing opener Mitchell Marsh early on for a duck at the hands of India's talisman Jasprit Bumrah.

Steve Smith and David Warner then stitched up a partnership for the second wicket to take their team to a sluggish 73 till Warner's dismissal by left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav in the 17th over.

Before Warner lost his wicket, he achieved a significant milestone, leaving behind India's Sachin Tendulkar and South Africa's AB de Villiers.

He became the fastest batter to score 1,000 runs in World Cups by doing so in 19 innings.

Smith top-scored for Australia with 71-ball 46 followed by Warner's all-important 41.

As Australian batters struggled, the Men in Blue reaped the benefits with Indian spinners grabbing 6 wickets amongst themselves.

Ravindra Jadeja led the pack with a 3-wicket haul, followed by Kuldeep Yadav's 2/42 and homeboy Ravichandran Ashwin's lone wicket.

Among pacers, Jasprit Bumrah contributed with two crucial wickets of Mitchell Marsh and Pat Cummins while Hardik Pandya and Mohammed Siraj scalped one each as the visitors were restricted below 200.
