India beat Australia in the second test in Delhi by six wickets and retained the Border-Gavaskar after Australia dramatically collapsed in their second innings. The visitors lost 9 wickets for 52 runs as they folded out for a paltry 113 runs. The spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravi Ashwin took all 10 wickets with Jadeja being the chief tormentor as the left-arm spinner claimed career best seven wickets for just 42 runs. In total, Jadeja took 10 wickets in the game including three in the first Australian inning. Cheteshwar Pujara, who's playing his 100th test, befittingly scored the winning runs.

Twitter also went in a frenzy as soon as India won the Test with congratulatory tweets pouring in from all corners of the cricketing world. This win also also means that India are through World Test Championship (WTC) final, to be played in June, given that Sri Lanka doesn't win their two-match Test series in New Zealand with a 2-0 margin. In case if Sri Lanka are able to pull the rug under the Kiwis, India would be out of contention, however, one more win in the series will make India independent of Sri Lanka - New Zealand series. Nonetheless, here are some tweets on India's win in Delhi test:

Earlier, Australia resumed their innings at 61/1 and Ashwin struck in first over of the day as he dismissed Travis Head. Steve Smith then joined Marnus Labuschagne in the middle and the top two ranked Test batsmen in the world added 20 runs before Ashwin sent Smith back. It was a total mayhem after that as Jadeja ripped through the Australian middle and lower-order. The visitors lost four wickets with the team total reading 95, three of them were claimed by Jadeja.

Twitter can't keep calm as India decimate Australia in second Test in Delhi

It took a sheer piece of brilliance in the field by Australian skipper Pat Cummins to dismiss Indian spinner Axar Patel on day 2 of the second Test in Delhi as the left-arm spinner almost single-handedly denied the visitors a big lead in the first innings. Batting at 74 with nine fours and three maximums already to his name, Axar tried to whack a ball thorough mid-on off Todd Murphy, but only for Cummins to pull a one-handed stunner to dismiss him. Axar was the ninth Indian wicket to fall with the home team trailing by just four runs in the first innings. Have a look at the catch below:

Earlier in the day, India were in soup with seven wicket down for a score of 139 runs in reply to Australia's first innings total of 263. Axar then joined forces with fellow spinner Ravi Ashwin and the duo added 114 runs for the right wicket before Ashwin was caught off Cummins by Renshaw at an individual score of 37. Axar also fell in the next over after hitting Murphy for a six but by then India were just four shy of Australia's first innings total. The southpaw scored 74 runs before going back to the hut, his second fifty in the series. India were finally bowled out for 262 runs and conceded one run lead in the first innings.&nbsp;

India vs Australia, 2nd Test: Pat Cummins pulls blinder to send Axar Patel packing - Watch

On Friday (February 17), India locked horns with Australia in the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023, in New Delhi. As India took the field, after losing the toss and being asked to bowl first, Indian players gave a 'guard of honour' to Cheteshwar Pujara as the No. 3 batter entered the 100-Test club.&nbsp;

As the Rohit Sharma-led Indian players came out, they assembled and honoured Pujara for becoming the 13th Indian to play 100, or more, Tests. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a video of the same and captioned it: A guard of honour and a warm welcome for @cheteshwar1 on his 100th Test". Here's the clip:

On his landmark Test, Pujara's family was present at the iconic Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi.&nbsp;Prior to the Test, Little Master Sunil Gavaskar presented the batter his special cap along with an inspiring&nbsp;speech.

Gavaskar said, "Cheteshwar, when we are playing as kids growing up, whether we are playing at home or down on the streets or in the maidans, we are all dreaming of playing for India and eventually when we do play for India, it's an unbelievable feeling. You want to do that over and over again and to do that you need a lot of hardwork, you need plenty of determination, plenty of self-belief to be able to lift yourself from lean periods and then still focus on getting the job done. When you go out to bat, it looks as if you're not just taking your bat with you, you are taking the Indian flag with you and you put your body on the line for India. You have taken the blows, you have got up and you have made the bowlers earn your wicket."

Pujara has so far amassed 7,021 runs, including 19 hundreds and 34 half-centuries, along with a best of 206*. He will be eager to score a daddy hundred in his special Test and take India to a 2-0 scoreline in the ongoing series versus Pat Cummins-led Australia.

Team India gives 'guard of honour' to Cheteshwar Pujara as he joins 100-Test club - WATCH

Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, on Friday, became the fastest Indian to have a double of 250 wickets and 2,500 runs in test cricket. Jadeja achieved the feat with the wicket of Usman Khawaja in the second Test between Australia and India, ongoing in Delhi. The 34-year-old is also only second to England great Sir Ian Botham, who achieved the feat in 55 tests while Jadeja did it in his 62nd test. The southpaw is fourth Indian overall to achieve the feat after former skipper Kapil Dev, ex-India coach Anil Kumble, and fellow spinner Ravi Ashwin. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) also posted a congratulatory tweet for Jadeja on its official Twitter handle.

Jadeja reached to the milestone in 46th over of&nbsp;Australia 1st innings when Khawaja, batting nicely on 81, reverse swept Jadeja but only for KL Rahul to pluck a decently timed shot out of air with one hand. Khawaja was the fifth wicket to fall in Australia's innings for a team total of 168 runs.

Earlier, Australia won the toss and elected to bat first in Delhi with Travis Head making a comeback in place of Matt Renshaw. The Aussies started off well with the first wicket partnership of 50 runs before fast bowler Mohammed Shami produced an edge off David Warner's bat which was caught by keeper KS Bharat. Marnus Labuschagne then batted freely and added 41 runs for the second wicket with Khawaja before Ravi Aswhin trapped him LBW.&nbsp;Two balls later, the off-spinner took the wicket of Steve Smith as well in the same over.

Travis Head also couldn't last long and was caught at the first slip off Shami. Peter Handscomb then joined forces with Khawaja and added 59 runs for the fifth wicket. Handscomb stood tall as the innings started to crumble around him with Carey back in the hut shortly after Khawaja. Skipper Pat Cummins though, played a good cameo of 33 runs and the duo took Australia past 200 runs.&nbsp;

The visitors were eventually bowled out for 263 with Handscomb posting a valiant 72 not out. Among the Indian bowlers, Mohammed Shami took four wickets while spinners Jadeja and Ashwin taking three wickets apiece. India were 21 for the loss of no wicket at the end of day's play and were trailing by 242 runs.

Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, on Friday, became the fastest Indian to have a double of 250 wickets and 2,500 runs in test cricket. Jadeja achieved the feat with the wicket of Usman Khawaja in the second Test between Australia and India, ongoing in Delhi.

Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, on Friday, became the fastest Indian to have a double of 250 wickets and 2,500 runs in test cricket. Jadeja achieved the feat with the wicket of Usman Khawaja in the second Test between Australia and India, ongoing in Delhi. The 34-year-old is also only second to England great Sir Ian Botham, who achieved the feat in 55 tests while Jadeja did it in his 62nd test. The southpaw is fourth Indian overall to achieve the feat after former skipper Kapil Dev, ex-India coach Anil Kumble, and fellow spinner Ravi Ashwin. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) also posted a congratulatory tweet for Jadeja on its official Twitter handle. Milestone 🚨 - @imjadeja becomes the fastest Indian and second fastest in world cricket to 250 Test wickets and 2500 Test runs 🫡🫡#INDvAUS pic.twitter.com/FjpuOuFbOK — BCCI (@BCCI) February 17, 2023 × Jadeja reached to the milestone in 46th over of Australia 1st innings when Khawaja, batting nicely on 81, reverse swept Jadeja but only for KL Rahul to pluck a decently timed shot out of air with one hand. Khawaja was the fifth wicket to fall in Australia's innings for a team total of 168 runs.

The Aussies started off well with the first wicket partnership of 50 runs before fast bowler Mohammed Shami produced an edge off David Warner's bat which was caught by keeper KS Bharat. Marnus Labuschagne then batted freely and added 41 runs for the second wicket with Khawaja before Ravi Aswhin trapped him LBW. Two balls later, the off-spinner took the wicket of Steve Smith as well in the same over.

Peter Handscomb then joined forces with Khawaja and added 59 runs for the fifth wicket. Handscomb stood tall as the innings started to crumble around him with Carey back in the hut shortly after Khawaja. Skipper Pat Cummins though, played a good cameo of 33 runs and the duo took Australia past 200 runs. The visitors were eventually bowled out for 263 with Handscomb posting a valiant 72 not out.

Ind vs Aus, 2nd Test: Ravindra Jadeja fastest Indian to reach 250 wickets and 2,500 runs in Test cricket

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 against&nbsp;Jadeja. He, however,&nbsp;couldn't get the desired&nbsp;connection 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:

India is looking forward to achieving a 2-0 lead against the Kangaroos as the men in blue stunned the Aussies in the opener by winning the match by innings-and-132 runs. However, the biggest dilemma before the Rohit Sharma-led side is to whether give KL Rahul another chance or not! Critics are just not happy with Rahul’s performance, who managed to score a mere 20 runs in the 1st Test match. His recent form dip in all three forms is a concerning development before the WTC Final. Shreyas Iyer is expected to return to the playing XI as SKY might be asked to warm benches for a little longer. Speaking about the bowling attack, team India would like to go ahead with the winning combination. It means that Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ravichandran Ashwin will get the ball rolling. Kuldeep Yadav would, however, have to sit on the bench for a while. On the other hand, Australia is also expected to make major changes in its playing XI. The final playing XI and the process by which it was selected drew criticism from many former Australian players. Former Australian captain Steve Waugh was perplexed by the team management's decision to not consider Travis Head, while Ricky Ponting and Mitchell Johnson urged dismissing David Warner.

IND vs AUS 2nd Test playing XI: India vs Australia 2nd Test squad, updated schedule and match details

Australia skipper Pat Cummins brushed off concerns Thursday over David Warner's batting form and said he was certain the opener would play in this week's second Test against India.

The left-handed Warner scored one and 10 at Nagpur last week and has struggled for form since scoring 200 in the Boxing Day Test against South Africa in Melbourne.

"I'm not a selector. I don't think they've had a meeting but I'm sure Davey will be there," Cummins said of Warner's inclusion in the New Delhi Test, which starts Friday.

"You saw this year at the Boxing Day Test when he puts pressure back on the opposition he's pretty hard to bowl to. You don't get as many good balls, so he knows that. I'm sure that'd be part of his plan," said Cummins.

"He has been batting really well here. Even in the lead-up I thought he was fantastic.&nbsp;

"I know there's a lot of talk about spin bowling through the middle, but with that new ball it's sometimes the hardest time to bat as well."

Australia were bowled out for 91 in one session in the first Test of the four-match series in Nagpur to lose by an innings and 132 runs inside three days.

Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith showed some fight in an otherwise dismal batting display, but Cummins remained hopeful of a turnaround on another spin-friendly pitch.

"I think the planning has been really good and now it's about going out there and doing it and at times that might be being brave enough to take a calculated risk," Cummins said of his batsmen's plans.

"They've been really good, they're all really strong in their plans, trained really well, so we will see how we go."

<h2>'Show how good you are'</h2>

Australia are expected to make changes from the Nagpur drubbing, with spinner Matthew Kuhnemann, returning fast bowler Mitchell Starc and all-rounder Cameron Green fighting for a place in the side.

"Having a right-hander helps and (Green) providing our fifth bowling option also helps, he's a big player," Cummins said.

"He's still coming back from that injury, he's only had a couple of sessions where he's catching with a hard ball. We will see how he pulls up."

Cummins called Starc the "world's premier" bowler in these conditions, but said all options were open going into the Test.

Spinner Todd Murphy had debut figures of 7-124 in Nagpur and Cummins again challenged his spinners to make best of the conditions.

"Even the last game we saw a lot of around-the-wicket bowling where in Australia it's mainly over the wicket bowling," said Cummins.

"It's a bit of an adjustment, but in some ways it doesn't get any better. You have a wicket there that's spinning, you can show how good you are."

India hopes to take a 2-0 lead over the Kangaroos after the men in blue shocked the Australians in the first game by defeating them by an inning and 132 runs. The Rohit Sharma-led team's toughest decision is whether or not to give KL Rahul another chance. Rahul's performance, in which he managed to score just 20 runs in the first Test match, has drawn harsh criticism. Before the WTC Final, his recent decline in form across all three forms is a worrying development. Shreyas Iyer is anticipated to rejoin the starting lineup as SKY may be asked to keep the benches warm for a little while longer. Team India will prefer to move further with the winning combination in the bowling assault. Australia, on the other hand, is also anticipated to make significant changes to its starting lineup. Many former Australian players criticised the final playing XI and the method used to choose it. Steve Waugh, a former Australian captain, was confused by the management's choice to not consider Travis Head, and Ricky Ponting and Mitchell Johnson pushed for David Warner's dismissal.

Rohit Sharma-led India will take on Australia in the second Test at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi&nbsp;from February 17. After gaining a 1-0 lead in the Nagpur series opener, India will be eager to strengthen their chances of reaching the WTC final and consolidating their overall lead. Ahead of the match, head coach Rahul Dravid addressed a&nbsp;press conference and was asked to comment on the lack of left-arm pacers in the Indian camp.&nbsp;

At present, India have only Jaydev Unadkat in the&nbsp;Test squad who is a left-arm seamer. However, he has also been released for the ongoing Ranji Trophy final&nbsp;between Saurashtra and Bengal at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Apart from Unadkat, India have tried the likes of T Natarajan, Khaleel Ahmed and Arshdeep Singh but the latter is the only left-arm speedster who has earned a considerable run in recent times. Dravid spoke at length about left-arm pacers and said, "A left arm fast bowler brings a lot of variation. You forgot the name of Zaheer Khan. But selectors and management definitely watch out for these talents. Arshdeep Singh played well in the recent ODIs, he also played Ranji Trophy, where he picked 4-5 wickets. He's young, he's developing."

'Only being a left-handed pacer will not help you get into the side'

Dravid further mentioned, "There are other guys who are performing. But only being a left-handed pacer will not help you get into the side, you need to perform as well. We do look at it, we know the importance but if you're only a left-hand fast bowler then you cannot be considered. Be it Zaheer Khan or Ashish Nehra they didn't get a chance just because they were left-hand fast bowler but since they were good."

Just then, Dravid was interrupted by a journalist who mentioned about Mitchell Starc and Shaheen Afridi and&nbsp;how these left-arm seamers have done well against India. To this, the head coach came up with a hilarious reply. "Agar 6 foot 4 inch bowler hain aapke paas toh aap batado&nbsp;(If you know a fast bowler who is 6 foot 4 inch, let us know). You took the names of Mitchell Starc and Shaheen Afridi, but in India, we rarely find someone as tall as 6 foot 5 inches who bowls left hand fast," Dravid added.

Rohit Sharma-led India will take on Australia in the second Test at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi from February 17. After gaining a 1-0 lead in the Nagpur series opener, India will be eager to strengthen their chances of reaching the WTC final and consolidating their overall lead. Ahead of the match, head coach Rahul Dravid addressed a press conference and was asked to comment on the lack of left-arm pacers in the Indian camp. At present, India have only Jaydev Unadkat in the Test squad who is a left-arm seamer. However, he has also been released for the ongoing Ranji Trophy final between Saurashtra and Bengal at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Apart from Unadkat, India have tried the likes of T Natarajan, Khaleel Ahmed and Arshdeep Singh but the latter is the only left-arm speedster who has earned a considerable run in recent times. Dravid spoke at length about left-arm pacers and said, "A left arm fast bowler brings a lot of variation. You forgot the name of Zaheer Khan. But selectors and management definitely watch out for these talents. Arshdeep Singh played well in the recent ODIs, he also played Ranji Trophy, where he picked 4-5 wickets. He's young, he's developing."

But only being a left-handed pacer will not help you get into the side, you need to perform as well. We do look at it, we know the importance but if you're only a left-hand fast bowler then you cannot be considered. Be it Zaheer Khan or Ashish Nehra they didn't get a chance just because they were left-hand fast bowler but since they were good."

This is the first time that the Indian cricket team has&nbsp;topped the rankings across formats at the same time; making Rohit the first Indian captain to achieve the feat. India have been the No. 1 ranked side in T20Is for quite some time whereas they topped the ODI rankings following a 3-0 whitewash over New Zealand in the home series, in January. After their big win in the four-match Test series opener versus Australia&nbsp;by an innings and 132 runs, India have now topped the Test rankings to become No. 1 in all forms of the game.

In Tests, here's the top-five teams:

INDIA - 115 rating points 
Australia - 111 rating points 
England - 106 rating points

Among the players, R Ashwin jumped to the second spot in ICC Rankings for bowlers in Tests after his eight wicket haul in the Nagpur Test. The list is led by Australia captain Pat Cummins. Meanwhile, captain Rohit Sharma was rewarded for his majestic 120 in the first Test and moved from the 10th to the 8th spot in&nbsp;the Men's Test Batting Rankings. India will have to win the upcoming second Test versus Australia, in the national capital, to hold on to the top spot in Tests and strengthen their chances of making it to the ICC World Test Championship final -- for the second time in a row -- which will be held in June.

Jasprit Bumrah's return is keenly awaited in Team India colours. The speedster has been out of action at the international level since September 2022, due to back issues, and missed the entire T20 World Cup 2022, Bangladesh tour, and home series versus Sri Lanka and New Zealand. He was expected to return for the ongoing India-Australia Tests, at home, for the last two matches but now it has been reported that he won't be joining the side for the red-ball series.

After the conclusion of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India will host Australia in three ODIs -- on March 17, 19, and 22&nbsp;-- and as per&nbsp;news agency PTI, Bumrah won't be returning even for the 50-over series and will likely make his comeback straightaway in IPL 2023 for the Mumbai Indians (MI) where his workload will be closely monitored. Bumrah had pulled out of the India-Sri Lanka ODIs, in January,&nbsp;after the right-arm seamer felt discomfort in his back. He was drafted into the squad and even cleared the match simulation on the first day at the National Cricket Academy (NCA). He, however, complained of back issues when the load&nbsp;increased the following day. Thus, he was pulled out of the ODI squad and has not rejoined the team since then.

Not only Border-Gavaskar Trophy! Jasprit Bumrah likely to miss Australia ODIs  – Report

IND vs AUS 2nd Test live streaming: Team India stunned the visiting Kangaroos in the first Test match played in Nagpur by winning the match by innings-and-132 runs.

IND vs AUS 2nd Test live streaming: Team India stunned the visiting Kangaroos in the first Test match played in Nagpur by winning the match by innings-and-132 runs. India was comfortably in the lead right from the beginning. The Indian innings were built up by Rohit Sharma's hundred and Ravindra Jadeja's outstanding all-around performance. Despite the fact that India would have already had enough runs, Axar Patel batted quite well. Australia must have learnt some lessons after their miserable performance against the men in blue. Now the stage is set for the 2nd Test match between India and Australia starting on February 17. After struggling with the bat in the first Test, it appears like opener KL Rahul and debutant Suryakumar Yadav may receive another chance to prove their mettle. It is uncertain whether captain Rohit Sharma, who slammed his ninth century in the Test match in Nagpur, will be bold enough to replace KL Rahul at the top of the order with Gill for the second Test in Delhi. The Australian side is also expected to make big playing XI changes as they hope to settle the score with the Indian side.

Former Aussie captain Ian Chappell has lauded Indian skipper Rohit Sharma and feels his promotion as a Test opener has helped him save his red-ball career. Chappell spoke highly in favour of Hitman after his masterclass 120 (212) during India's big win over Pat Cummins-led Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 opener in Nagpur. Under Rohit, India dismissed Australia for 177, after being asked to bowl first, and rode on the skipper's century to post 400 before the Indian spinners -- R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja -- combined to rattle the Aussies for a paltry 91 in their second essay; leading India to an innings and 132-run win.

Chappell wrote in his coloumn on Mid-Day, "The move to open in Test cricket saved Rohit's career. He looked like he might waste his enormous skill down the order but batting above Virat Kohli has prevented him being overawed by the ex-captain's popularity. Captaincy has also played a big part in Rohit's revival; the discipline required to lead a team has added another level to his batting."

Rohit was asked to open in Tests after the 2019 ODI World Cup. He slammed back-to-back tons in his first Test as an opener, versus South Africa, and also ended the three-match home series with his maiden double ton in the format. Since then, he has been India's Mr. Consistent in the format and has carried his form in the India-Australia home series.

Chappell further lauded Rohit for his classy knock on a tough surface in Nagpur. He said, "The state of the pitch was put into perspective by the Indian captain Rohit Sharma. He played a masterful innings that displayed confidence in his own defence, his wide stroke range on a turning - but not impossible pitch - and his ironclad discipline."

"Not only did Rohit reveal a wide range of shots, he also frustrated the Australian bowlers with the way he only played them when the time was right. He showed all players, home and touring, how to play on Indian pitches, and his example was flawlessly followed by the much improved Ravindra Jadeja," the Aussie veteran wrote.

Rohit-led India are now gearing up for the second Test of the BGT, to be held in the national capital commencing on February 17. India will aim for a 2-0 scoreline in the second Test and extend their dominance in the high-profile series.

IND vs AUS, BGT: Rohit Sharma's promotion as opener saved his Test career, feels Aussie legend Ian Chappell

India dominated proceedings in the first Test versus Australia, in Nagpur, to go 1-0 up in the ongoing edition of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Losing the toss, India rode on comeback man Ravindra Jadeja's 5 for 47 to rattle the Pat Cummins-led Aussies for 177 and piled up 400 courtesy of skipper Rohit Sharma's 120, Jadeja's 70 and Axar Patel's 84 before dismissing the visitors for 91 in their second essay to win by an innings and 132 runs. Jadeja accounted for two more wickets in Australia's second innings and, thus, returned as the Player-of-The-Match.&nbsp;

After India's thumping win, former Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria has lavished huge praise on Jadeja and feels 'world cricket hasn't seen an all-rounder like him'. Speaking on his Youtube channel, he said, "World cricket hasn't seen an all-rounder like Ravindra Jadeja. He dominates every department, be it batting, bowling or fielding. He is one such player that the captain will want to have in the playing XI every single time. He constantly creates pressure on the opposition."

"He didn't play cricket for around six months, but still kept himself in good shape and worked on his fitness. It is never easy to make a return, that too against a team like Australia. It was outstanding that he was able to come up with such a dominating performance in his comeback match against a big team," added Kaneria.

To back Kaneria's claims, Jadeja has been in top form across formats. He has had several injury concerns in the recent past but his performances haven't gone down by any means. In his last Test, during India's one-off match versus England in Edgbaston, he had scored a splendid 104 before resuming from where he left during his comeback match in Nagpur.&nbsp;

At the post-match presentation of the Nagpur Test, Jadeja said, "Feeling amazing. When you come back after five months and give your 100 percent, scoring runs and taking wickets.. feels amazing. Was working hard at the NCA. Would like to thank the NCA staff, physios. They have been working hard with me, even on Sundays. Was looking to bowl in good areas. Ball was spinning, going straight, keeping low. Kept telling myself to bowl at the stumps - if they make mistake, I have a chance. I look to keep things simple. Try not to change things with my batting. It's a crucial number - 5, 6, 7."

After losing the toss, Rohit Sharma &amp; Co. dominated proceedings as Australia were reduced to 2 for 2 and dismissed for 177 thanks to comeback man Ravindra Jadeja's 5 for 46 and R Ashwin's 3 for 42. In reply, India ended the day's play in a strong position; at 77 for 1 with captain Rohit unbeaten on fifty-plus.

While Jadeja made all the right noise on the opening day, the Indian team management had to go to the match referee to clear the air that the all-rounder was applying pain-relief cream to the index finger of his bowling hand after a video went viral on social media.

In the video that went viral, Jadeja was seen taking a substance off the back of Mohammed Siraj's palm with his right hand. He then&nbsp;rubbed this substance onto the index finger of his left hand - i.e. his bowling arm - before he got ready to bowl. It is to be noted that at no point&nbsp;was Jadeja seen rubbing anything on the red cherry despite having it in his hands at the time.

After the end of Day 1,&nbsp;Jadeja along with India captain Rohit Sharma and the team manager was made aware of the video clip. Match referee Andy&nbsp;Pycroft just wanted to just inform them about the incident and no charges were laid against Jadeja.

At the start of the third session on day two of the first test against Australia, India were sitting pretty with a lead of 52 runs and skipper Rohit Sharma batting at 120, alongside Ravindra Jadeja. The pair&nbsp;had added 61 runs by then and we set for more with Australia&nbsp;looking wary of the partnership.

The last session started with the visitors taking the new ball to start off the things and it was Rohit's visiting counterpart Patrick Cummins who decided to have a go with the ball.

The over started with a no-ball as Cummins overstepped but then got back in his groove quickly to produce an edge of the third ball of the over. But alas, Steve Smith at slip had a day to forget as he dropped the chance, albeit a tad difficult one. Rohit, who was batting at 120 at the time, took a couple of the dropped chance.

Patrick Cummins, however, had a different plan as he clean-bowled Rohit the very next ball with an absolute peach off a delivery. Have a look at the dismissal:

Ind vs Aus, 1st Test: Pat Cummins bowls a jaffa to send Rohit's off stump cartwheeling - Watch

Former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja lavished huge praise on Rohit Sharma and claimed that he&nbsp;has put the seeds of fear in Pat Cummins' head with his batting in the first&nbsp;Test of the Border-Gavaskar trophy, in Nagpur. Rohit took&nbsp;on the Aussie skipper Cummins when India came out to bat in the fag end of Day 1 to shake his confidence and then played his trademark pull shot on Day 2 to force his Australian counterpart to go out of the attack.&nbsp;

On Cricbuzz, Jadeja was asked if Rohit had sown the seeds of fear in Cummins' head. To this, the former cricketer agreed&nbsp;and said that the&nbsp;India captain had taken Cummins out of the game on the first day of the Test, with the Aussies already on the back foot after folding for 177, and that six he hit off him on Day 2 showed his dominance.

Jadeja said, "Absolutely. He had sown the seeds of fear in Cummins yesterday and now he has come to take the fruits. He almost took Cummins out of the game yesterday. And today, with that six, he showed dominance."

He hailed Rohit for his stupendous 120 (212) to take India to a dominant position on Day 2 of the opening Test. "Rohit Sharma is always a cool customer. He just goes on his path like an elephant that doesn't look here and there despite the noise around it. The pitch is up and down and we saw Virat Kohli have a reaction to the nature of the pitch. We don't see that from Rohit at all. What we saw today from him was just brilliant."

"Yesterday in the evening, he was playing at a different pace. When he came in today, he went at a slow rate which means that Australia bowled well, but Rohit Sharma is in a zone which is important at this time."

"There is no fuss from him at the moment. He is calm and it feels like there is nothing on the pitch. Yeah, the wicket is becoming a slight docile. But seeing Rohit Sharma it feels like there is nothing on the pitch to be worried about. When he is there, his calmness does reflect through," signed off Jadeja.

Rohit slammed his 9th Test ton on Day 2 of the Nagpur Test. While he did dominate Cummins, the latter had the last laugh by dismissing Hitman on a peach of a delivery. After Rohit fell for a sublime 120, India rode on an unbroken eighth-wicket stand between half-centurions Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel to go to stumps at 321 for 7; leading by 144 runs.

IND vs AUS, 1st Test: Rohit Sharma has sown the seeds of fear in Pat Cummins' head, feels Ajay Jadeja

Virat Kohli's torrid run in Tests continued on Day 2 of the Nagpur Test between India and Australia. After India lost R Ashwin and Cheteshwar Pujara in the morning session, Kohli came out to bat at No. 5 and added 16 runs with skipper Rohit Sharma when lunch break took place with India 151-3. On the first ball after lunch, debutant Todd Murphy dismissed him to prolong his barren run in whites.

Talking about the delivery (in the 52nd over), it was short and down the leg side as Kohli tried to flick it but found an edge and was caught by wicketkeeper Alex Carey. Here's the video of Kohli's dismissal:

Thus, it wasn't a wicket-taking delivery but led to Kohli's dismissal. The right-hander was looking good till then but couldn't connect properly on to a ball which kept low and on the leg-side and made the long walk back to the pavillion. Kohli, who has not had a great run in Tests for long, couldn't believe his luck after being out on such an ordinary delivery and passed a sheepish smile while on his way back to the pavillion. His last triple-figure knock in the red-ball format came in late 2019. While he had a solid chance to break his Test-century drought, he fell for a 26-ball 12.

After Kohli's dismissal, Rohit (120) steadied India's ship along with Ravindra Jadeja (who is unbeaten on fifty-plus) with India's lead nearing the 100-run mark.

Virat Kohli's torrid run in Tests continued on Day 2 of the Nagpur Test between India and Australia. After India lost R Ashwin and Cheteshwar Pujara in the morning session, Kohli came out to bat at No.

Virat Kohli's torrid run in Tests continued on Day 2 of the Nagpur Test between India and Australia. After India lost R Ashwin and Cheteshwar Pujara in the morning session, Kohli came out to bat at No. 5 and added 16 runs with skipper Rohit Sharma when lunch break took place with India 151-3. On the first ball after lunch, debutant Todd Murphy dismissed him to prolong his barren run in whites. Talking about the delivery (in the 52nd over), it was short and down the leg side as Kohli tried to flick it but found an edge and was caught by wicketkeeper Alex Carey.

Rohit Sharma created history on Friday (February 10) during Day 2 of the first Test between India and Australia at the VCA Stadium, Nagpur. After India dismissed Pat Cummins-led Australia for 177, riding on Ravindra Jadeja's 5 for 47, they resumed the second day's play with an aim to take a big lead. While wickets fell at regular intervals, Rohit looked at his fluent best and reached a stunning hundred and achieved a big feat.

By slamming his 9th Test ton, Rohit became the first Indian captain -- fourth overall -- to score a hundred in all three formats. In the overall list, he joined the likes of Sri Lanka's Tillakaratne Dilshan, South Africa's Faf du Plessis and Pakistan's Babar Azam.&nbsp;

India found themselves firmly in the driving seat after day 1 of the first Test against Australia. Much of the credit for it went to comeback man Ravindra Jadeja who picked a five-fer and pegged Australia back. Speaking about his stunning return to competitive cricket, Jadeja said bowling 10-12 hours at National Cricket Academy helped him. "In Test match cricket, whatever wicket you take, you are happy with that. I was working hard on my bowling when I was in Bangalore at the NCA. I was bowling 10-12 hours everyday and that helped me a lot. I was working on my rhythm because I knew that I have to play Test match and I have to bowl long spells." Jadeja had been away from cricketing action since September last year after suffering a knee injury that ruled him out of the T20 World Cup. Before his return to the international stage, Jadeja turned up for his state side Saurashtra in the ongoing Ranji trophy. Playing against Tamil Nadu. the left-arm spinner picked up seven wickets and staked his claim to play the first Test. "I played a first-class game (Ranji) after a long time and I bowled almost 42 overs. It gave me a lot of confidence to come here and play a Test match."

Jadeja, however, kept chipping in with regular wickets as Australia were bundled out for 177. While Jadeja made a roaring comeback at the highest level, R Ashwin was also not far behind.&nbsp;

Ashwin returned wiht 3 for 42 but achieved a huge feat. By dismissing Alex Carey, he became only the second Indian bowler to claim 450 scalps in whites.

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2022/23 edition commenced on Thursday morning (February 09) in Nagpur with Pat Cummins &amp; Co. opting to bat first. However, Rohit Sharma-led India got off to a dream start as the pace duo -- Md Siraj and Md Shami -- struck early to reduce the tourists to 2/2. While Australia went to lunch 76 for 2, thanks to a solid third-wicket stand brewing between Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith, India could have got rid of Smith had Virat Kohli held onto a catch in the slip cordon.

The incident took place on the first ball of the 15th over, bowled by Axar Patel. Smith went for a drive off Axar but got a thick edge. Kohli, stationed at first slip, didn't anticipate the pace of the ball and was late to react to it. Hence, he made a mess of the chance and gave a reprieve to the dangerman Smith. Here's the video of Kohli giving a lifeline to Smith:
