India Vs Australia 4th Test: Cheteshwar Pujara and Rishabh Pant Put India in Command of Sydney Test
Cheteshwar Pujara and Rishabh Pant scored centuries as India took control on Day 2 of the fourth and final test in Sydney on friday. Riding on a mammoth 193-run from Puajra and sparkling 159 not out from Wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant India declared their first innings on 622 for seven. The sublime knocks from batsmen also helped the Indian team to register their second highest team total on Australian soil-highest team total for India 705/7 declared, at the same venue, in 2004. At stumps, Australia were 24 without any loss with new opener Usman Khwaja (5) and Marcus Harris (19) successfully negotiating the tricky 10-over period for the home team.

➤ Rishabh Pant (159*) produced his carrer-best score in the first innings.
