Twitter reacts to Matthew Renshaw's Delhi belly and Saha's superman catch
It was a tough day for the Australian cricket team as they couldn't capitalize on the brilliant start from Renshaw and Warner with the middle order crumbling against the Indian spinners. The funnier moments of the day saw Renshaw running back to the pavilion and Jadeja's mystery ball to Handscomb.
After a steady opening partnership between David Warner and Matt Renshaw, Australia collapsed on the first day of the first Test at Pune to end at 256/9 thanks to a rearguard attack by Mitchell Starc. Umesh Yadav produced a fine spell with the old ball to finish with figures of 4/32 as India ended day 1 on top.
Brief scores: Australia 256/9 (Matt Renshaw 68, Mitchell Starc 57*, Umesh Yadav 32/4)

1. R. Ashwin
2. Turning tracks
3. Spicy food. @MattRenshaw449 #IndvAus
Seems like nothing is going well for the Aussies!
Just about to upload my video explaining why O'Keefe and Smith will dominate but computer crashed. Maybe it's a sign 😞#IndvAus

Missing Dhoni badly behind the stumps.
What is Saha doing??#IndvAus
The result of Tandoori Chicken maybe?

Adam Zampa couldn't resist! :P
Can we get a hotspot on Renshaw pls ump?
— Adam Zampa (@zamps63) February 23, 2017
But Renshaw did play well after his coming back on!
Renshaw has still made more runs than Shaun and Mitch Marsh combined and he hasn't left the dressing room #IndvAus @bapdan @CamMason4

Now where have we seen this before?
Not for the 1st time a tall left handed opener with a Gray Nicholas bat is looking good in India. #Hayden #Cook #Renshaw #IndvAus

The man, the myth, the legend - R.ASHWIN!
@ashwinravi99's dismissed the best batsman of NZ (K Williamson), ENG (Root), BAN (Shakib) and now AUS (Smith).

Champion spinner.#INDvAUS
Even Starc has batted better than the Marshes!
Starc has already contributed more than 2 and a half times the runs made by BOTH Marshes #IndvAus
