With the dismissal, Australia lost half their side for 167; Their skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bat in Delhi.
The visitors got off to a decent start with the opening pair of Khawaja and David Warner sharing a 50-run stand before the latter was easily dismissed by wicketkeeper KS Bharath.
Ravichandran Ashwin then produced magic in the dying stages of the first session as he dismissed Marnus Labuschagne (18) and Steve Smith (0) within three deliveries to put the visitors on the backfoot.
Mohammed Shami further damaged Australia’s chances of recovery by removing Travis Head (12) soon after the start of the second session.
