Steve O’ Keefe Spinning The Game – Yes, he was one of the main bowlers for the Australian team on this tour but none of the Indian batsmen would have especially pointed him out and have done special preparations against this bowler. O’Keefe is not even considered a red ball bowler by legendary Shane Warne but O’keefe gave it on the face of his critics, who did not find it good enough for the longest format of the game.
O’Keefe just made every batsman dance to his tune with a total of 12 wickets in the game to topple the strong Indian batting line-up in both the innings of the game. He made an immediate impact in the game as after the Lunch break on the second day, he just came in and stole the show, grabbing six wickets in no time.
In the second innings as well, he took a total of six wickets to help his team get two extra days off before both the team flies to Bangalore for the second Test of the series
