Rahul, Jaiswal hit 50s; India on top

November 23, 2024 14:54

Ind 145-0 (50 ovs) & 150 vs Aus 104 | Scorecard

This is only the fourth time that both Indian openers have hit fifties in a same Test in Australia. Not surprising Sunil Gavaskar was involved in all three previous matches in which both Indian openers got half-centuries, with his partners being Krishnamachri Srikkanth (twice) and Chetan Chauhan.

Cummins brings himself back into the attack. He bowls a high bouncer which goes high over Jaiswal for five wides before he takes a single off the last ball on the leg side.

Part-time spinner Travis Head comes into the attack. Jaiswal takes a single down to long-off before Rahul slaps the spinner past point for a couple of runs.

A single each to the two batters before Rahul plays a nicely-timed drive through the covers for three runs.

India are 145/0 in 50 overs for an overall lead of 191 runs.

Jaiswal has stroked 74, while Rahul has made 56 with both looking keen to play a big knock.
