India is in a spot of bother in the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against the Australian cricket team being played in Delhi. The visitors have taken a commanding position in the match as the Indian team struggles to put up a decent score on the board.

The Australian off-spinner Nathan Lyon has taken up the charge for the visitors, scalping four crucial wickets to leave the Indian team reeling. The Indian team's score is a meager 66 at the loss of four key batsmen, namely Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, and Shreyas Iyer.

The match marks a significant milestone for Cheteshwar Pujara, who was playing his 100th Test. Unfortunately, Pujara's inning was short-lived, as he was dismissed for a duck after being given out lbw. It was a huge blow for the Indian team, as Pujara is known for his ability to anchor the innings and play long, patient innings.

Lyon's spell has been particularly impressive, as he gave away only 25 runs and took all four top wickets. The off-spinner has been a thorn in the Indian team's side for many years now, and his performance in the ongoing Test match is a testament to his skill and experience.

In the first innings, Australia put up a total of 263 runs. The visitors' score seems even more impressive in the context of the match, given the challenging conditions on the pitch.

The stakes are high for the Indian team, as they need to win the series by at least 3-1 to make it to the World Test Championship final. With the second Test not going their way, the Indian team needs to regroup quickly and come up with a plan to get back into the game.
