Indian spinners R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja dominated proceedings versus Australia on Day 3 of the second Test, in New Delhi on Sunday (February 19), to help Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. win by six wickets. With Australia resuming the day's play with an overall lead of 62 runs, with nine wickets in hand, they fell like nine pins to be dismissed for a paltry 113 with Jadeja returning with 7 for 42 whereas Ashwin accounted for the remaining three scalps. Chasing 114, India achieved the target with six wickets in hand to go 2-0 up in the series and take an unassailable lead in the 2022/23 Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

After the match, former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria was unimpressed with Australia and claimed that they had no clue what to do once India fought back in the contest. Australia had done a decent job gaining a run's lead but fell flat on Day 3, when they had a chance to set a difficult target.&nbsp;

'This defeat will make the Australian team cry'

Speaking on his Youtube channel, Kaneria said, "The Australian batters don't know how to play in front of the stumps. They all got out trying to play the sweep shot. Being the captain, is this how Pat Cummins should have batted? He had a chat with Peter Handscomb as he walked out to bat. I think he was scared once he knew there was a lot of turn. If an Indian or Pakistani captain did this, he would be sent home the next day."

“This defeat will make the Australian team cry. This won't let them make a comeback. They had the upper hand over India at one stage. However, they didn't know what was to be done when India fought back,” Kaneria asserted.

The former spinner further added, "The Australian batters had no answers against the Indian spinners. They didn't know what to do and ended up blindly sweeping the ball. Ravindra Jadeja was fantastic with the ball, and Ravichandran Ashwin also used his experience very nicely. Rohit Sharma did the right thing by giving them long spells. Australia's scorecard looked like someone's mobile number."

The third and penultimate Test kicks off in Indore on March 01 with the visitors having a herculean task to prevent a whitewash. India, on the other hand, need one more win to confirm themselves a spot in the WTC final.

Australians didn't know what to do when India fought back: Ex-Pakistan spinner after hosts win Delhi Test

Rohit Sharma-led India gained an unassailable 2-0 lead in the 2022/23 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, on Sunday (February 19), with a six-wicket win on Day 3 of the second Test at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi. With this win, India have strengthened their chances of reaching the ICC World Test Championship final and look set to whitewash the Aussies in the four-match series with Pat Cummins &amp; Co. being clueless in front of the Indian spin trio.&nbsp;

After losing the Nagpur Test by an innings and 132 runs, Australia did put up a better show in the first innings of the Delhi Test. They managed 263 in their first essay and dismissed India for 262, gaining one-run lead, but fell flat in their second innings with their batters playing the sweep shots on a&nbsp;track which kept low, with Jadeja-Ashwin troubling them with spin. After the game, former Pakistan captain and PCB chairman Ramiz Raja feels 'Australia are not prepared' and went on to add that 'it is nearly impossible to beat Team India in India.'

"The Australians used to finish games against sub-continent teams in Perth or Brisbane. The tables have turned," Ramiz Raja said in his YouTube show. "It shows that Australia are not prepared, especially when it comes to playing good Test cricket in India. It's nearly impossible to beat Team India in India. An ordinary performance against spin. Nine wickets were dismissed in one session. Jadeja produced an excellent bowling performance," Raja added.

Kumble ended his illustrious career with 111 wickets, out of a total of 619, versus the Australians. Hence, Ashwin has a solid chance to surpass his tally in the ongoing four-match series.

2nd Test: R Ashwin joins Anil Kumble to become second Indian bowler with 100 wickets vs Australia

India have been on a roll on the opening day of the second Test, in New Delhi, versus Australia. After being asked to bowl first, India accounted for three scalps in the first session. While they chipped in with regular wickets post the lunch break, opener Usman Khawaja and Peter Handscomb stitched a vital 59-run fifth-wicket stand. Just when Khawaja was reaching the 100-run mark, he was dismissed by Ravindra Jadeja with KL Rahul taking a one-handed stunner.

Talking about the delivery, Khawaja went for a reverse sweep against&nbsp;Jadeja. He, however,&nbsp;couldn't get the desired&nbsp;connection and the ball went straight to square leg position, where Rahul dived towards his right and pulled off a one-handed stunner. As a result, Khawaja was on his knees and in complete disbelief as he was deprived of a hundred. Here's the video:

India is looking forward to achieving a 2-0 lead against the Kangaroos as the men in blue stunned the Aussies in the opener by winning the match by innings-and-132 runs. However, the biggest dilemma before the Rohit Sharma-led side is to whether give KL Rahul another chance or not! Critics are just not happy with Rahul’s performance, who managed to score a mere 20 runs in the 1st Test match. His recent form dip in all three forms is a concerning development before the WTC Final. Shreyas Iyer is expected to return to the playing XI as SKY might be asked to warm benches for a little longer. Speaking about the bowling attack, team India would like to go ahead with the winning combination. It means that Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ravichandran Ashwin will get the ball rolling. Kuldeep Yadav would, however, have to sit on the bench for a while. On the other hand, Australia is also expected to make major changes in its playing XI. The final playing XI and the process by which it was selected drew criticism from many former Australian players. Former Australian captain Steve Waugh was perplexed by the team management's decision to not consider Travis Head, while Ricky Ponting and Mitchell Johnson urged dismissing David Warner.
