What an amazing start of the final Test! KL Rahul's pathetic for provided a setback early on but Agarwal and Pujara showed what they are capable of. You must be watching the match very keenly, but we are sure that you must've missed these 10 entertaining things.But don't worry, we have your back.

Band of respect!

While India is wearing black armbands today as a mark of respect to the passing of Sachin Tendulkar's first coach Ramakant Achrekar, Australia sported the same today in memory of former Australia and New South Wales batsman Bill Watson who passed away recently aged 87.



Oh, I wish that happens!

When Steve Waugh was on strike for one final time in his career at the iconic SCG in the 2003-04 Test series, Parthiv provoked Waugh to try his trademark slog sweep and even predicted that he would miss it, to which Waugh replied, “Show a bit of respect, You were in nappies when I played my first Test match.” Now that Parthiv is on the bench, and Waugh's son Austin is serving the drinks, the Junior Waugh can run into him to have a chat or two. 

It's a pink Test day!



And everyone thought it's a spin friendly track

While a lot of people were talking about Perth's pitch highlighting its unexpected bounce, have a look at what SCG's pitch has to offer.

After-effects of successive failures!

KL Rahul continued with his terrible form in Australia as he wasted yet another opportunity to prove his mettle. He was dismissed for just nine runs after edging an outswinger in the second over of the match.

Tim Paine went against Pat Cummins

Australians suddenly saw a glimpse of a caught behind dismissal and appealed in unison, but Cummins was not convinced about it and said “No Ways” almost instantly. But Paine came forward towards the stumps and decided to go upstairs.

Che Pujara!

Not the modern-day gladiator! He is not your regular superstar! He is Che Pujara. He doesn't happen like that.

Rarest sight! Kohli was much slower than Pujara

In the MCG Test, Pujara received a lot of flak after he failed to run the fourth run and Virat Kohli's inhuman fitness was celebrated by the Twitterati. However, at SCG, Pujara proved that it is more important to have a vision that overbrimming confidence. 

Series of his life!

What a marvelous inning! Yet another Test, yet another century. Cheteshwar Pujara scored his third century of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar series. 

Nathan Lyon chirps Cheteshwar Pujara!

Pujara took 199 balls to get to his hundred, fifth against Australia. After this, obviously frustrated Nathan Lyon asked Pujara: "Aren't you bored yet?
