Following India’s terrible start, it was expected that the visitors won’t last at the crease for the entire day. But thanks to India’s Test specialist batsman Cheteshwar Pujara, his 246-ball 123 saved India from embarrassment on a flat Adelaide Oval pitch.

Despite a terrible performance by the top-order Indian batsmen, Cheteshwar Pujara scored a brilliant hundred to take the innings beyond the 200-run mark which helped his team to put 250 runs on the scoreboard at a loss of 9 wickets.

A stunning direct-hit by Pat Cummins ended Pujara’s innings as India’s Test specialist batsmen scored 123 from 246 balls. At stumps, Mohammed Shami remained unbeaten on 6 and will be joined by Jasprit Bumrah on Friday morning.
