As it happened –

Initially, it was Virat Kohli, who won the toss and asked the home side to bowl first. India went with four bowlers by leaving out Hanuma Vihari to add Rohit Sharma to the setup, as they got Murali Vijay to work as a part-time bowler.

Meanwhile, the first couple of sessions were horrible for India, as they lost wickets on a regular basis. However, it was Cheteshwar Pujara, who stood tall in the middle to avoid the further hiccups. The India number three showed his class by knocking a scintillating 123 to his name.

However, the bowling section was equally impressive for the Indians. They knocked out Australians for a cheap score in the first innings to take the lead of 15. In the second run, it was once again, Pujara, who was among the run-scorers.

This time, Australians showed a lot of grit and determination in their chase, but the Indian bowlers were too good in their approach.
