Cricket Australia Invitation XI v Indians
Wisden's review of the first tour match, Cricket Australia Invitation XI v Indians
15-Apr-2015
At Adelaide (Glenelg Oval), November 24-25, 2014. Drawn. ‡Cricket Australia Invitation XI 219 (R. G. L. Carters 58; V. R. Aaron 3-80); Indians 363-8 (M. Vijay 51, C. A. Pujara 55, V. Kohli 60, W. P. Saha 56*, K. V. Sharma 52*). Each side chose from 13 players. India made a heartening start to their tour, with a solid display from their seamers, admittedly against a side featuring just two players older than 23. Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara retired out after well-paced fifties, and there were runs for Wriddhaman Saha, poised to keep wicket while M. S. Dhoni recovered from an injury, and leg-spinner Karn Sharma, who raced to 52* in 54 balls.
