The tourists dominated the fourth Test match between Australia and India at the Narendra Modi Stadium for the second day in a row. Australia have put on a good batting performance in the current match, buoyed by their victory in the last Test in Indore.
After winning the toss, the visitors completely justified their choice to bat first. Australia had amassed 480 runs in their first innings, thanks in large part to Usman Khawaja’s epic 180-run effort that lasted for nearly two days. Cameron Green, an all-rounder, has excelled at the plate as well. He scored his first Test century and helped Australia win with a 200-plus run partnership with Khawaja.
India’s innings has started out steadily in the meanwhile. The hosts had 36 for no loss after ten overs at the end of the day’s play. Team India will be fervently hoping to win the current match in order to not only win the series but also secure a place in the World Test Championship final.
