Usman Khawaja and Cameron Green were both brilliant for Australia but a fan at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad emerged as the unlikely hero on Day 2 of the fourth Test encounter between India and Australia on Friday. Towards the end of day's play, Shubman Gill slammed Nathan Lyon for a massive six and the ball landed straight in the area covered by white sheets on the side of the sight screen. The ball seemed lost inside the sheets and the umpires decided to opt for a new ball in order to continue the game. However, a young fan had a different idea as he jumped inside the area and started searching for the ball. "The big fella has gone in," Ravi Shastri remarked in his commentary.

Ind vs Aus, 4th Test, Day 2: India Bundle Out Australia For 480, Post 36/0 At Stumps

Usman Khawaja's resilience found its able ally in Cameron Green's audacious flair as Australia tested India's bowling depth as well as patience to put up a commanding 480 on the second day of the fourth Test in Ahmedabad on Friday. At stumps, Indian openers were also hardly troubled on a track that hasn't deteriorated one bit as Rohit Sharma (17 batting) and Shubman Gill (18 batting) added 36 runs in 10 overs. But to make a match out of it, onus will be on India to score quickly on day three on Saturday. The most awkward time to start an innings is during the last 10 overs of the day but Gill lofted Nathan Lyon for a six down the ground to signal his attacking intent in that short span of time.

Registering his name in the history books, Usman Khawaja created a mountain of runs as he hit 180 runs in the first innings of the 4th Test against India in Ahmedabad. The Australian batter frustrated Indian bowers for as many as 5 sessions before Axar Patel finally got the better of him. But, it wasn't all straightforward as the hosts had to make use of the DRS to get rid of Khawaja as the line-umpire's decision on the LBW appeal was in the favour of the Australian batter.
