]]> IND vs AUS 2nd Test Day 3 Highlights: The peak of Ravindra Jadeja’s career On Sunday, India retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with a 2-0 lead in the four-match series after defeating Australia by six wickets in three days during the second test. As a result, India took a 2-0 lead in the four-match series. In their second innings at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin (3-59) reduced Australia to a meagre 113 runs, a career-high for Jadeja.

India’s top order faltered while chasing 115 to win, but their victory, which came in the second session of the third day, was never in doubt. In his 100th Test, Rohit Sharma scored 31 and Cheteshwar Pujara scores 31 not out for the winning run.

IND vs AUS 2nd Test brief scorecard

Australia: 263 and 113 all out in 31.1 overs (Travis Head 43, Marnus Labuschagne 35; Ravindra Jadeja 7/42, Ravichandran Ashwin 3/59)

India: 262 and 118 for 6 in 26.4 overs (Rohit Sharma 31, Cheteshwar Pujara 31 not out; Nathan Lyon 2/49)

What Pujara said while talking to broadcasters!

On playing his 100th Test: Yeah, it has been a great Test match. Unfortunately, I didn’t get many runs in the first innings. I knew that if I stayed in the crease for a while and played initial balls well, I could do well. It is a special feeling when your family watches you playing the 100th game. I am really happy about the occasion. I was really happy them seeing me finish off the match with a boundary.

On Saurashtra winning the Ranji Trophy: Happy for the boys of Saurashtra for winning the Ranji Trophy. I did have an eye on the proceedings till lunch but couldn’t see what happened afterwards. Congratulations to all the Saurashtra boys.

On yesterday’s last session: I thought we might end up chasing 200-250. But kudos to our bowlers for restricting them to such a low score.

On playing sweep shot on this pitch: Sweep is not an ideal shot to play with low bounce, but I’ve worked on it. With my game, I use my feet well and try to judge length as early as possible. I’ve always done that throughout my career. Not really, it was the initial phase when you walk out to bat. Some balls spun and some went straighter. Once you play 30-40 balls, it’s a good pitch to bat. Once the ball gets softer, it gets easier to bat on.
