India’s road to victory turned tougher in the second session with some solid partnerships between Pat Cummins & Tim Paine (31 runs), Pat Cummins & Mitchell Starc (41 runs), Nathon Lyon & Pat Cummins (31 runs) and Lyon & Josh Hazlewood (32 runs).
Cummins along with Starc continued frustrating the Indian bowlers. The duo patiently tackled the blow from the visitors and managed to add 41 runs for the 8th wicket.
Like every previous tail-ender, Josh Hazlewood, the last man to bat for Australia, also troubled the hosts along with Nathan Lyon. They added another major partnership of 32 runs but Ashwin hit the last nail in the coffin, removing Hazlewood for 13.
However, after Shastri’s comment, fans managed to come up with some hilarious reactions on social media.
