At one stage, it seemed that Team India might not cross the 100-run mark, after having been reduced to 88/8. However, pacer Umesh Yadav, who was recalled to the side for the match, had different ideas as he played an entertaining cameo of 17 off just 13 deliveries, slamming two sixes and a four.

The fast bowler slammed two massive sixes off Matthew Kuhnemann's bowling and equalled Virat Kohli's tally of 24 maximums in Test cricket. In the course of the match, he also went past former head coach Ravi Shastri's tally of 22 and is currently 17th in the list of Indian cricketers with most Test sixes. Overall, Virender Sehwag tops the list with 91 while MS Dhoni is second with 78.
