Player Of The Match
  • 49.6

    James Faulkner to Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Slower length ball, outside off stump down the track driving, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Wade.

    Well, India make 281-7 after starting very poorly and being restricted to 11-3. The middle order for the hosts was the key with Kedar Jadhav striking 40 from 54 before Hardik Pandya was destructive and MS Dhoni played a classic innings, getting himself in and then unleashing at the end. Australia will be disappointed after their start with Coulter-Nile superb and the target of 282 could be a tricky total to chase.
