‘What goes around comes around’ applies perfectly for India as they are being currently outdone by the Aussie spinners in the 1st Test in Pune.
You would normally expect the visiting teams to come and struggle traditionally against the home side’s spinners but this time, things have reversed and India have collapsed and how!
Here are some of the Twitter reactions that perfectly sum up an enthralling Day 2 already. This match is no way entering Day 5, or even Day 4 for that sake by the looks of the on-going proceedings. Stephen O’Keefe has picked up wickets and India are, as of now, still trailing by 159 runs.
The collapse explained perfectly:
94 for 4 95 for 5 95 for 6 95 for 7 98 for 8

The decision to bring Monty Panesar on board is more and more looking like a masterstroke
That time spent with Monty Panesar…O’Keefe doing to India what Monty did in Mumbai in 2012. What a collapse, what a spell. #IndvAus

A very unconventional collapse for India at their own turf.
