With the pitch seeming likely to favour spinners, India played three spinners, while Australia played two, giving Murphy his debut. Australia also dropped Head, in a decision which was widely criticised in Australia,<ref>[https://wwos.nine.com.au/cricket/australia-india-first-test-2023-travis-head-shock-axing-stuns-greats-matt-renshaw-preferred/b9a8e89a-d50d-46b6-bbd4-c8ec6a84e24e Michael Clarke 'confused and bewildered' by decision to axe Travis Head], [[Nine's Wide World of Sports]], February 9, 2023</ref> replacing him with Handscomb. So the Indian team was Sharma, Rahul, Pujara, Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav (batters), Bharat (wicket-keeper), Ashwin, Jadeja, Patel (spin bowlers), Shami and Siraj (fast bowlers); and the Australian team was Khawaja, Warner, Labuschagne, Smith, Handscomb, Renshaw (batters), Carey (wicket-keeper), Lyon, Murphy (spin bowlers), Cummins and Boland (fast bowlers).

Despite a modest first-innings total of 177, Australia's position looked reasonable when India were 168 for 5, despite Sharma going on to make 120. But Jadeja (70) and Patel (84) gave India a large lead. The Australia were then bowled out in their second innings for 91, appearing to have no answer to India's spinners,<ref>[https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-02-12/first-test-india-thrash-australia-spin-nagpur/101962006 India lands first blows before and during Nagpur thrashing, as Australia hunts for answers against spin], [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation|ABC]] News, 12 February 2023</ref> who took 16 wickets between them for the match.
