WhetherâÂu00c2u0080Âu00c2u0088India failed to read the pitch correctly or they batted badly during the first Test against Australia in Pune is something that will be a matter of cricketing discussion for a long time to come. India came into this series as firm favourites riding on their brilliant home run in the last one and a half years. But, Australia defeated the hosts by a huge 333-run margin in the match that was over in less than three days and take a 1-0 lead in the four-match Border-Gavaskar series.
