Peter Handscomb pulled off a stunning catch to dismiss Shreyas Iyer cheaply on Day 2 of the second Test encounter between India and Australia in New Delhi on Saturday. Nathan Lyon was the star for Australia as the spinner claimed four wickets in the first session and one of the wickets was that of Iyer. Iyer was cramped for room and the delivery from Nathan Lyon went flying from the inside edge. Handscomb, who was placed at short leg, could not collect the ball cleanly at first but he kept his calm and made sure to complete the catch in his second attempt to deal a heavy blow to the hosts.

Despite bowling out Australia for 263 on Day 1 of the second Test, Team India failed to stamp its authority as Usman Khawaja (81) and Peter Handscomb (72*) managed to rescue the visitors in Delhi. However, India, who took a 1-0 in the series after beating Australia in the series-opener in Nagpur, head into Day 2, slightly ahead in the contest. Mohammed Shami was the pick of the bowlers with four wickets to his name, while spin wizards Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin scalped six wickets apiece.
Former India opener Virender Sehwag has picked Mumbai Indians' Rohit Sharma over Chennai Super Kings' MS Dhoni as the best IPL captain because of the number of trophies the franchise has won in the last 15 years. Mumbai Indians are the most successful IPL side with five trophies, followed by Chennai Super Kings, who have won four titles. "The numbers tell you everything. See, MS Dhoni had the experience of captaining the Indian team and then he became the captain of the Chennai Super Kings. Rohit Sharma's first captaincy stint was with the Mumbai Indians, and from there, his journey to success began. "So, that's why he deserves more credit. Much like Sourav Ganguly, who became the captain of the Indian team and tried new and different things. Under his leadership, India became the number one one-day team. That's why my pick is Rohit Sharma," Sehwag told Star Sports during a programme to celebrate 15 years of the IPL.
Gritty half-centuries from Usman Khawaja and Peter Handscomb guided Australia to a fighting 263 all out against inspired Indian bowlers on Friday's opening day of the second Test.
