Shubman Gill Registers 2nd Test Century, Virat Kohli's Reaction Is Pure Gold

Shubman Gill continued his second hundred in the longest format of the game on Day 3 of the 4th Test against Australia. It was in the third Test at Indore that Gill earned the nod to open alongside Rohit Sharma, with the team management deciding to drop KL Rahul, owing to his poor form. Gill didn't manage to make the most of his outing in the third Test but stepped up and delivered in Ahmedabad. The young opening batter scored only his second century for India in red-ball cricket, orchestrating an over 100-run partnership with Cheteshwar Pujara for the third wicket.

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.

"Ruthless Environment...": Ashton Agar On Being Sent Back Home From India Tour

Left-arm spinner Ashton Agar harbours no "ill feeling" after being sent back from the Indian Test tour without a game because he knows it's "ruthless" in top-level cricket. Agar had landed in India as one of the senior spinners in the Australian squad but returned home after not finding a place in the XI for the first two Tests with uncapped off-spinner Todd Murphy and left-armer Matthew Kuhnemann preferred over him. The 29-year-old responded by picking up five wickets for Western Australia in the Marsh Cup final against South Australia.

'They Have Shown They Can Handle That Pressure': Rohit Sharma Heaps Praise On Australian Spinners

Australia's two inexperienced spinners Todd Murphy and Matthew Kuhnemann were the X factor for Australia in their victory at the third Test match in Indore. Todd Murphy got Virat Kohli's wicket in the first innings while Kuhnemann got a five-wicket haul in the first innings as well. Even though Murphy failed to pick up a wicket in the second innings, he managed to limit the scoring options of the Indian batters. Kuhnemann though became the target of Indian batters as they went straight after him. Indian captain Rohit Sharma believes both spinners are crucial for Australia.
