India have been on a roll on the opening day of the second Test, in New Delhi, versus Australia. After being asked to bowl first, India accounted for three scalps in the first session. While they chipped in with regular wickets post the lunch break, opener Usman Khawaja and Peter Handscomb stitched a vital 59-run fifth-wicket stand. Just when Khawaja was reaching the 100-run mark, he was dismissed by Ravindra Jadeja with KL Rahul taking a one-handed stunner.

Talking about the delivery, Khawaja went for a reverse sweep againstJadeja. He, however,couldn't get the desiredconnection and the ball went straight to square leg position, where Rahul dived towards his right and pulled off a one-handed stunner. As a result, Khawaja was on his knees and in complete disbelief as he was deprived of a hundred. Here's the video:

With the dismissal, Jadeja also attained a unique feat. The all-rounder became the second-fastest player in Test cricket to record a combination of 2,500 runs and 250 wickets.

Australia have lost the plot after a good start. They will still be hoping to put up a respectable total, anything over 250-275, and put up a good fight in the second Test after the hammering they received in the series opener in Nagpur. India won the first Test by an innings and 132 runs and have a 1-0 lead.
