Indian skipper Ajinkya Rahane won the hearts of a million fans with his gesture towards Ravindra Jadeja after being run out on Day 3 of the Boxing Day Test. Rahane smashed a scintillating ton on Day 2 of the Test match. His gritty knock helped India gain a decent lead of 131 runs over Australia.

Australia won the toss and elected to bat first. The Indian bowlers wreaked havoc in the first innings and dismissed the entire Aussie batting line up on just 195 runs. In response, the Indian Cricket Team came up with a fighting answer. The Indian batsmen, especially Ajinkya Rahane and Ravindra Jadeja, laid a solid foundation for the team.
