"At the moment, one corner of the field is shouting in support of Virat Kohli. Meanwhile, in another part, there’s a different kind of battle going on between Indian and Australian fans. This clash of cheers and boos has become its own contest. Test cricket at its very best," Irfan Pathan said.
However, the partnership was broken after a horrible mix-up between the two batters in the middle. Jaiswal was dismissed after scoring 82 runs off 118 balls with the help of 11 boundaries and one six.

Sam Konstas entered the senior Australian side with high expectations after winning the ICC U19 World Cup and producing remarkable performances in first-class cricket, including a standout century against India during a pink-ball warm-up match for the Prime Minister’s XI at Manuka Oval.
The 19-year-old smashed star bowler Jasprit Bumrah for several big shots, including a reverse ramp. He scored 34 of his total 60 runs against Bumrah in the first innings.
