India clinched the four-Test series against Australia 2-1 after the fourth and final Test ended in a draw in Ahmedabad on Monday. Australia were 175 for 2 in 78.1 overs in their second innings when the players from the two teams decided to shake hands. Marnus Labuschagne (63) and Steve Smith (10) were at the crease when the two team agreed on not playing the full quota of the overs for the day.
With no vice-captain being assigned for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in the Indian team, Rohit Sharma has been seeking advise from the senior players in the team. Earlier, it was Cheteshwar Pujara who handled the team's captaincy for a brief period while Rohit Sharma was off the ground. On Day 5 against Australia, Virat Kohli acted as a virtual ‘vice-captain', helping Rohit devise a strategy with Axar Patel as India looked to get the better of Australian batters in the morning session of the Ahmedabad Test.
Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill were in the spotlight during India's innings in the ongoing fourth and final Test match against Australia. While the rising star Gill shone with his 128-run knock at the start of the innings, the batting veteran Kohli raced to his 28th Test century (186 runs) -- a hundred in the format after more than three years. Both the batters used the friendly conditions at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad beautifully to their advantage. The duo, however, is also being talked about due to a bromance video that has gone viral on the internet.
The ongoing fourth Test between India and Australia will be remembered for ages as the fans got to witness a heroic century from Virat Kohli which came after a long gap of more than years in the Test format. The former India skipper smashed 186 on Day 4 and guided Team India to a total of 571, with the hosts taking a lead by 91 runs. Apart from Kohli, it was youngster Shubman Gill, who also struck his second Test ton on Day 3 and gave India a brilliant start. With this century, Gill stood on the expectations of the fans and the selectors as he paved his way into the team after replacing an out-of-form KL Rahul. As the Rohit Sharma-led side is on the cusp of qualifying for the World Test Championship final, veteran India wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik feels that Rahul can be used as a good backup option behind the stumps.
Axar Patel has been used as a third-choice spinner till now by skipper Rohit Sharma but the all-rounder impressed everyone with his batting prowess on Day 4 of the fourth Test match between India and Australia in Ahmedabad on Sunday. Axar slammed a valuable 79 to provide perfect support to Virat Kohli and guide India to a solid position in the match. One of the shots from Axar that was the highlight of the day's play was a massive six off Matthew Kuhnemann as he heaved the ball over the mid-wicket boundary. The shot left everyone stunned with Kohli breaking into a smile and Australia's stand-in skipper Steve Smith looking baffled by the power and distance of the shot.

Cricket fans around the world had a gala time after Virat Kohli brought up his 28th Test century during India's fourth Test against Australia, to guide the hosts to a dominating position on Day 4. The star batter reached the triple figures in the longest format after a hiatus of 3.5 years. Starting Day 3 at 289/3, Team India lost the wicket of Ravindra Jadeja after the all-rounder played a reckless shot and gave away his wicket to Todd Murphy. After his dismissal, wicketkeeper-batter KS Bharat was sent onto the crease as Shreyas Iyer had missed out on the match due to pain in his lower back. Bharat gave a strong support to Kohli and impressed everyone with his knock of 44 runs. However, there was a moment in the match when Kohli lost his cool at the youngster.
