The host came out to chase Australia’s massive first innings total of 480 runs. They got the ideal start for it as the Indian openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill joined a good 74 runs opening stand. Rohit, on the other hand, did not turn the start around as he left after scoring 35.

Cheteshwar Pujara walked out and joined a massive 113 runs stand with Gill before his departure. Gill went on to smash his second test ton. He played his role perfectly and provided Team India with a perfect start.

However, Gill’s astonishing knock came to an end at 128 runs at the hands of Nathan Lyon. The Indian ‘Run Machine’ was now in charge because Team India’s work was not yet finished. He struck his 29th test fifty and the first of this series. The Aussies were unable to take advantage of the breakthroughs due to his knock.
