This was Virat's first Test match on Indian soil since March 2023 and he received a rousing ovation when he came out to bat at the M Chidambaram Stadium.

Left-arm pacer Yash Dayal's form was one of the biggest positives for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in a rather disappointing Indian Premier League (IPL) season for the franchise earlier this year. Trolled and ridiculed when he was first signed by RCB, the Prayagraj born pacer helped the team qualify for the playoffs, in what was a huge turnaround for the team after losing seven of their first eight games.

I request Ashwin to reply back and say that India will defeat Australia by 5-0," Basit said on YouTube.
