India vs Australia 2nd Test : Ashwin rattles Australia by getting Labuschagne, Smith in same over

But
soon
Shami
got
the
better
of
Warner
from
the
round
the
stump.
The
ball
bowled
in
the
channel
outside
off
caught
Warner
by
surprise
and
he
ended
up
edging
the
ball
to
wicket-keeper
Srikar
Bharat
while
on
his
back
foot.

However,
another
41-run
partnership
brewed
between
Khawaja
and
Marnus
Labuschagne.
Just
when
it
was
settling
down
well
for
Australia,
off-spinner
Ravichandran
struck
twice
in
three
balls
to
rattle
the
visitors.
Labuschagne
reviewed
an
lbw
decision
but
the
ball-tracker
showed
three
reds,
forcing
the
Australian
number
three
to
go
back
to
the
pavilion.
A
ball
later,
Steve
Smith
ended
up
nicking
a
ball
to
wicket-keeper
Srikar
Bharat.
The
former
Australia
captain
departed
for
a
golden
duck.
Khawaja,
who
completed
his
20th
Test
fifty
moments
later,
was
joined
by
Travis
Head.
At
Lunch,
they
were
three
down
for
94.

Earlier,
India
batting
heavyweight
Cheteshwar
Pujara
was
felicitated
by
the
BCCI
on
the
occasion
of
his
100
Test
match
for
India.
The
35-year-old
became
only
the
13th
India
pacer
to
achieve
the
feat.

“It
is
an
honour
to
receive
this
cap
from
you,
legends
like
you
have
inspired
me
(on
getting
the
cap
from
Gavaskar).
I
wanted
to
play
for
India
as
a
youngster
but
I
never
thought
I’d
get
to
100
Test
matches.
Test
cricket
is
the
ultimate
format
for
me,
it
challenges
you
just
like
life,”
Pujara
told
Sunil
Gavaskar
who
presented
him
with
his
100th
Test
cap
during
the
felicitation
ceremony.

“To
all
the
youngsters,
I’d
encourage
y’all
to
work
hard
to
play
Test
cricket
for
India.
I’d
like
to
thank
my
wife,
my
family,
everyone
in
BCCI
and
all
my
teammates
who’ve
supported
me
throughout
this
journey,”
he
added.
