Ravichandran Ashwin took to Twitter and wrote “I have watched him play this shot so many times but the thrill it gives me while I watch it is the same every single time”. What made this shot even more special was the fact that SKY did not even seem to bother where the ball headed to.

Yashasvi Jaiswal couldn’t continue his good form with the bat as he was out early for 6 runs. The youngster tried to give Behrendorff the charge only to get a huge nick to Matthew Wade.

Ishan Kishan was out for a duck when he went looking for a shot outside off-stump. Kane Richardson had the Indian wicket-keeper dismissed early as Marcus Stoinis took the catch. Suryakumar Yadav scored 39 runs before he was caught by Wade to give Aaron Hardie his 1^st wicket.

Ruturaj Gaikwad scored his 2^nd half-century in successive games to signal his good form with the bat. Jason Behrendorff ended the night with 1/12 from his four overs with a maiden over as the Australian quick kept the Indian team on the leash.
